Features the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, with this nice, attractive reinforcement piled around it. It's got the rolled steel safety chain connection points, which are going to be really good because you've got plenty of clearance all the way around to get just about whatever type of safety chain that you may have connected to it.

All of these hitches are very similar, and when they're mounted on the vehicle they all come out to where you see about the same amount of the hitch. The biggest different that you're going to see in these four is that with the Draw-Tite class three it's going to have a mounting bracket for any wiring that you may want to use. Now up top we've got two CURT class threes here. As you can see, aesthetically speaking, they look the same. The real difference that you're going to see between them is that on this CURT class three down here it features a 350 pound tongue weight rating, whereas on this one it features a 525 pound tongue weight rating.

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Kia Soul - Curt- Video
Today on our 2016 KIA Soul we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Curt custom fit class one trailer hitch receiver. Part number is C11419. Here's a good look at what our hitch is going to look like installed and see that cross tube's going to remain hidden all that's really going to leave that with is our inch and a quarter opening, inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter is going to come out right here in the middle, it offers a nice flush looking reinforcement inaudible 00:00:29 around the end and you'll see that's going to be tucked in under our bumper slightly so we don't have to worry about bumping our legs on it or anything like that. Rounded steel stock safety chain connection points going to come around the bottom, should have enough room there to get any kind of chain connected that you might want and then we're going to have a half inch pin hole that's designed to hold all our items in place once we get them in our hitch. Now there's going to be room on each side it looks like to use anti-rattle devices, hitch pin locks, regular hitch pins and clips, I would just avoid anything maybe bigger than the size of a golf ball in diameter. Now when it does come to towing or maybe moving around some cargo carriers or bike racks, a few numbers you want to keep in mind is that the hitch is going to offer a 200 pound ton weight rating, so that's the maximum downward force we can put here at our receiver tube opening, and it offers a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight rating, it's going to be the total weight of our trailer and anything that we we're to load up on it. Of course we want to check the Soul's owners manual see what it's rated for and we'll just go off whichever of those numbers are the lowest. Curt does recommend the use of a stabilization strap anytime we're using something that would be considered a non-wheeled load. more
