Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2021 Kia Soul
Question:
OK, I just read the reply to chuck a Re:a t2021 Kia soul, Front wheel drive six speed manual transmission and it looks like that fits the criteria for flat towing a Kia soul. Is that correct? If so I will order the base plate wire harness hitch etc.

Yes, it is correct. To flat tow your 2021 Kia Soul with a six speed manual transmission you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521643-5
Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle item # RM-766
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
