Yes the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 306-X7326 will fit all models of the 2016 Kia Soul and it has the 2" hitch receiver opening. This is a very common hitch size so you will have no issue finding hitch-mounted accessories. The max tongue weight capacity is 300lbs so make sure you are not exceeding that weight at any time. I really like the hidden look that this EcoHitch offers, which will keep your vehicle looking factory and you will not have to worry about hitting your leg on the hitch receiver as you would on some longer receivers.

In case you were interested in a bike rack, I highly recommend looking into the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches item # S63360. This is a very economical bike rack that has a built-in tilting mechanism which allows for trunk access on your Kia Soul. Or if you wanted a cargo carrier you could look into the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches item # C18110 which has a 300lb weight capacity. Keep in mind when looking for accessories for your EcoHitch you will want to make sure they are Class 1 rated since your EcoHitch is Class 1. The bike rack and cargo rack mentioned above are Class 1 so you will have no issue there.

I have attached demonstration videos for you to check out.

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…
