Three brands of hitch are offered for your 2014 Kia Soul and all can be seen on the link provided. Among these is the Curt # C11419. All of the hitches offered for your 2014 Soul are light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I types. No 2-inch hitch is offered for your vehicle.

Hitch makers like Curt, Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch have to determine the hitch capacity suitable for any given vehicle based on the vehicle's frame structure. In the determination of these three hitch manufacturers, the Kia Soul's frame is not strong enough to support the load of a 2-inch hitch, only that of a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch.

With a Class I hitch installed on your Soul you can use use compatible Class I accessories, such as 2-bike racks and hitch-mount cargo carriers. The links provided will show you a range of 2-bike racks and cargo carriers that will fit these Class I hitches. An article is included with information on hitch classes.
