Most Popular Locks Not Included for 2020 Kia Soul

Fits like a glove, slightly dinged but insignificant!

Product was easy to use and setup worked exactly like the video. My only complaint is that the staples on the box hit the foam bumpers and left holes. I'm sure it doesn't affect the cushioning but it was slightly annoying to receive a superficially damaged product.

Works as expected. The installation directions could be a little better, including what tools are needed. For the set screws, I needed to drill starter holes, and for removing the spacers to use a 1 1/4" hitch, I needed a better Allen (hex) wrench than supplied.

Took a little while to get (I assume because this item is so popular it is hard to keep in stock) but worth the wait. Easy and straight forward to assemble. Perfect for our Kia Soul. Two fat tire bikes fit on the standard frame just fine. Very happy with ease of removal for occasional use. Thanks again for another good product!

Ordered the Swagman XTC2 and a receiver hitch from etrailer earlier this week. Paid for 2 day shipping, and received it THE DAY AFTER I ORDERED IT! Can't ask for any more than that. Completed hitch installation today, and then assembled and mounted the XTC2. It slid right into my 1.25 hitch, and the included rattle-proof hitch pin cinched things down very nicely! The wheel rack trays are fairly easy to adjust: I just parked my bike behind it, eyeballed about where the trays needed to be to fit the tires, slid them into place, then plopped the bike in. A couple minor adjustments to the racks, and they were ready to cinch down. My wife's bike went on the outside slot. With the dropping frame tube, I had to shift the trays for her bike to the left a bit so the frame clamp hit at the seat riser. Again this was an easy eyeball placement and adjustment, but proper placement results in the bike being shifted to the left a bit. The front tire protrudes about 4" beyond the side of the car, and I'll probably buy one of those bar extensions to remedy this. Took the bikes out this afternoon, and drove about 4 miles to a nearby park trail. The rack didn't sway much at all through turns, and shaking was pretty minimum going over bumps. I've only used it once so far, but I already love the ease of use! I I have a 2017 Kia Soul, and the vertical rear hatch made a hitch mounted rack the obvious choice. I loved how etrailer's info and user reviews made part/model selection a no-brainer. Why would anybody shop elsewhere? Thanks etrailer!

Speedy delivery, (product arrived 3 biz days after ordering), and top-notch quality because the Swagman XTC-2 was shipped box within box, preventing damage. Assembly took about 10 minutes after watching vehicle-specific assembly video for Kia Soul on this site - thanks! Highly recommend the associated $28 anti-rattle hitch lock because it fits perfectly and will help deter thieves. Don't forget you'll still need to lock your bike(s) to the rack if you're going to leave it/them unattended. Awesome job, etrailer Staff - I highly recommend your company and products and will be doing business with you again!!

Super quick set up and very easy to use.

So far really great! I love the stability my bike has on the rack, fit for my 2021 Honda Civic, and the quality of the material engineered into the design to prevent damage to the cars paint/parts.

Works great even using an electric bike like my Aventon Soltera.

I have this rack on a 1-1/4" hitch fitted to a KIA Soul. It's my first hitch/rack so I don't have anything to compare it with but I find it very easy to use. It has loops on it that allow the rack to be locked to the hitch - peace of mind when left on the car. One of the best things about it is its ability to swing away from the hatchback door. That has been useful frequently. I also use the rack as a bike stand to work on the bike. If you're new to bike racks like this, be advised that you may want to secure the front wheels of the bikes; they tend to move around a LOT if untied. I think this would go for any rack of this style.

I love this bike rack. It's so lightweight, unlike my old Yakima Kingpin rack. It's easy to load and secure the bikes, and folds up and stores nicely when I'm done using it.

This is the rack I gave to my daughter when she moved away. She wanted to take her bike with her as she loves riding for both exercise and as alternative transportation in the city. Fits perfectly on her Kia Soul.

Fit my latte Kia Soul 2015 perfectly. Very easy to install. Made of sturdy materials. Fastens securely. Would recommend.

My previous bike rack was a hitch mounted Yakima. It was sturdy but not well suited for my low Subaru Impreza. It stuck out too far and hung too low so that I had to inch my way down the driveway or over speed bumps for fear of it bottoming out. A roof rack or a rear window mounted rack was not suitable since I wanted to be able to also carry two kayaks. First, I tried to modify my rack by shortening the part that sticks out of the hitch. I tried to saw off about 6 inches so it wouldn't stick out so far but the steel was much too hard. I ended up ruining several metal-cutting blades on my power saw before I gave up. I looked for other rack options. There weren't many out there. But eventually, I found something that met my needs. I purchased the "Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Fold Down Bicycle Hitch Rack" in 2013 from eTrailer.com. The part that enters the hitch curves up to increase clearance from the ground. It is sturdy and sticks out far enough so I can still open my trunk hatch without having to lower the main vertical bar on the hitch (though I could if I wanted to). It isn't often I am really excited about a piece of gear but this hitch rack has made me worry-free when I transport my bicycle(s) via car. The only thing I don't like is that it is advertised as being a 3 bike carrier but it only fits 2 hybrid bikes. Maybe it will fit 3 skinny racing bikes but for the average rider, don't expect to fit on more than 2. But my experience is that is the case for all bicycle racks.

Nice heavy duty rack. Putting it together is quite simple if you read the instructions. I like the ability to use both a 2" or 1 1/4" receiver. etrailer is very easy to deal with.
