There's a couple of options for carrying bikes with the Pro Series # 63153.
If you don't mind removing the bike's front wheel, the Rola # 59904 would be a good choice for bikes with a 5-9mm skewer diameter, and would allow you to carry one bike on your carrier. Installing wheel hoops like part # CC-125 would also work well, allowing you to carry two bikes.
If you're speaking of installing a bike rack into the back of the shank of the cargo carrier, that's not possible with... view full answer...
Both the Pro Series # 63153 and Curt # C18130 cargo carriers have an angled shank to provide better ground clearance than straight-shank types. The Pro Series has 2-1/2-inches of rise in the shank while the Curt has 3 inches of rise.
Also the Curt carrier has the ability to adjust the placement of the carrier basket on the shank and includes the required hitch pin and clip, while the Pro Series does not. You can use part # PC3 or a locking anti-rattle hitch pin such as # 63232.... view full answer...
Stacking a cargo bag on top of coolers in a utility trailer would technically be possible but that's a very specific application that we don't necessarily have a solution totally worked out for. We do have cam buckle style tie downs like the part # 297-10BB which would work well most likely. view full answer...
The receiver from a trailer hitch will not protrude past the bumper on your 2011 Toyota Sienna. We have installed the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13105, on a 2011 Toyota Sienna and found that the trailer hitch will be recessed under the edge of the bumper 5-1/4 inches. I have attached a photo of what the trailer hitch will look like when installed on your vehicle.
I have also attached the installation instructions and installation video of the Curt trailer hitch for you... view full answer...
We have installed Curt trailer hitch # C13105 on several Toyota Sienna models and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper varies from 4 inches to 5-1/2 inches. Any given 2 vehicles of the same make and model and same generation will have slight differences which is why not all of the measurements are the same. The only way to know for sure on a vehicle is to install the hitch.
The Draw-Tite hitch # 75237 has a longer clearance measurement... view full answer...
The bouncing and shaking that you saw in the video is the norm on the majority of cargo carriers on the market. The extended location from the hitch causes the carrier to bounce more than a hitch accessory that might sit closer to the vehicle.
There are a few products that can help with the bounce. An anti-rattle device, like # MT70258 for 2 inch hitches, can help by securing the cargo carrier's hitch shank to the hitch receiver. The bolts will push the shank up tight against... view full answer...
You could use a high/low adapter # RM-048-6. But keep in mind that the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. So in other words the combined weight of the cargo carrier and its contents cannot exceed the reduced tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch. view full answer...
The Curt cargo carrier # C18153, is the only one of the 3 that can fold up. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier is 9 inches when folded and 19 inches when in the down position. It fits a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver hitch only and has a 500 pound capacity. The slight rise in the shank provides a little better ground clearance. This is the best all around carrier for your 2002 Honda Odyssey.
Pro Series carrier # 63153 does not fold up but... view full answer...
The Curt 24 x 60 Cargo Carrier # C18153, which you referenced, will fit your 2006 Honda Odyssey as long as your vehicle has a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver.
I have attached a video review of this cargo carrier for you to check out.
If you need a trailer hitch the one I recommend is the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 75270. This is one of our most popular trailer hitches for your vehicle. I have attached the installation instructions and an installation video... view full answer...
In order to determine if a folding hitch mounted cargo carrier would clear your rear bumper you will need to take one simple measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole of your hitch out to the furthest point out of the rear bumper.
On our most popular hitch for your 2010 Honda Odyssey this measurement is 7 inches. This hitch I am referring to is the Draw-Tite # 75270. Check out the end of the install video for this product to see this measurement.

I would recommend the Rightline Sport 1 rooftop cargo bag, part # RL100S10. At 38 inches long by 34 inches wide, the bag will fit nicely within your Rola cargo basket. The bag has a 12 cubic foot capacity, and is very popular and highly rated by our customers. The bag does a great job of providing weather resistant protection to your cargo, but packing your cargo in plastic before placing in the bag is highly recommended for maximum protection. I have linked you to a product demonstration... view full answer...
The extension for the part # 59504 is the part # 59505. To fit this on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country would require you to install a roof rack like our Yakima Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # Y00409, # Y00124, and # Y00657 if you did not have one.
I actually attached an install video that shows the # 59504 being installed on a 2015 Town and Country just like yours as well. In the video the van has the factory roof rack. view full answer...
To carry the Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # 59504 on your 2005 Dodge Caravan you will just need a roof rack (if you don't already have one). The Rola basket is compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars with max dimensions of 1-1/4" tall x 3-1/4" wide.
If you don't have any rails or crossbars on your Caravan you will want to use the Yakima roof rack which includes the Crossbars # Y00408, Q Towers # Y00124, and Q57 Q Clips # Y00657.

The bottom tube on Rola cargo basket # 59504 is 1-1/2 inches in diameter so the light mounting brackets would either have to fit around that size or have a way to mount them directly to the bar (which would require drilling).
Driving light kit # 09-0305 could possibly work if you don't mind drilling into the basket. The lights are 5-1/4 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches tall and should fit on either side of the basket fairing pretty well.
After searching through all of the driving... view full answer...
For your 2013 Honda Odyssey you would need to install a roof rack first, but once installed you could install the Rola cargo basket part # 59504.
The rack you would need is part number # THLB58, # THTP42, # TH460, and # THKIT3101. This roof rack installs a track on the roof of the vehicle so you could position the bars on your roof so that the basket could be installed. view full answer...
At the rear of the Maxxow Wheelchair carrier is a pretty large platform which could be used for attaching a license plate bracket like the part # LP15SB. This would be a great option unless you'd prefer the diamond plate part # CE26053A. view full answer...
For your 2016 Kia Sedona the MaxxTow Cargo Carrier part # MT70106 could be used to carry a 279 lb chair as long as you have a hitch installed on the vehicle like the Draw Tite # 75894 which has a 400 lbs capacity.
I attached an install video for the hitch as well as a review video for the cargo carrier as well. view full answer...
The MaxxTow wheelchair carrier, part # MT70106, isn't rated for a specific maximum speed so there aren't any restrictions. Other than those speed limits enforced by the local authorities. I don't recommend exceeding those. view full answer...
The MaxxTow part # MT70106 that you referenced would easily fit the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13068. We haven't test fit these two specifically yet but based on measurements we took when we installed the Curt hitch we know that the MaxxTow would easily clear the rear bumper and work well. view full answer...
I called my contact at MaxxTow about the hitch mounted Wheelchair Carrier, part # MT70106.
They told me that the anti-rattle collar can be turned to the left, right, or even upside down to tighten up on your hitch. They told me that the bolts are 1/2 inch, about 2 inches long and are Grade 8 material. We do not carry replacement bolts, but you may be able to find them at a hardware store. Just be certain the bolts you get are a grade 8. view full answer...
An object that is exactly 24 inches wide would not fit in Curt carrier # C18152 because some of the hardware holding the carrier together would get in the way. Better options include Surco folding carrier # 52018F and fixed carrier # 52018 because the hardware does not stick out into the cargo area on either one of these. I have included links to video reviews on both carriers for you. view full answer...
If you are looking for a cargo carrier that is similar to the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18152, but smaller, I recommend taking a look at the 20x48 Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18110.
The 20x48 Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18110, offers the angled shank which elevates the platform for better ground clearance and easier loading, has a 300 pound weight capacity, and weighs approximately 30 pounds. I have included a short video for you.
Just a reminder, you will want to follow the weight... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18152 is a fixed carrier that cannot be folded up for storage while not in use. Instead, I recommend using the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18153 which is the folding version of the above carrier.
In order to determine if this carrier will work for you, you will need to first confirm that the trailer hitch on your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T has a 2" receiver tube opening and the distance from the center... view full answer...
The Curt # D210 is designed to hold a cargo carrier in the top while towing but can also be used exactly how you are using it; to get more height. Provided that you are withing the capacity of the hitch, D210, vehicle, and carrier (whichever has the lowest tongue weight capacity) then there will be no problems.
The D210 receiver portion has a capacity of 350 pounds. There should be a sticker on the hitch that lists its tongue weight capacity. The hitches we carry for the 2008... view full answer...
I would recommend going with the Hidden Hitch Class III trailer hitch for you 2000 Honda Odyssey. This hitch installs easily, see video link, and will work well for carrying cargo on a cargo carrier.
For a cargo carrier I have two recommendations. First, if you want the folding option like the one you selected, part # C18151, we only have one model that has a long enough shank to fold into the upright position on the Odyssey. The Draw-Tite Folding Cargo Carrier, # 6502, has... view full answer...
The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 that you referenced should work well on your 2013 Honda Odyssey in the folded down position as long as you have a hitch with a 2 inch opening like the Curt Hitch part # C13068. However, there would not be enough clearance for the carrier to fold up.
This carrier has a distance of 16-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest rail of the carrier when folded down and 6 inches when folded up. All of the hitches available for... view full answer...
On the 2 inch hitches we have installed on the 2011 Honda Odyssey we have found that from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to clear the rear bumper measured 5 to 6 inches. When folded up, the Curt cargo carrier, # C18151, only comes out to 6 inches so it would not clear the vehicle when folded up.
You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper.
The best bet is going... view full answer...
The Curt cargo carrier, # C18151, measures about 3 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the carrier when folded up. It is unlikely that it will clear the rear of your 2008 Honda Odyssey. You will need to measure from the hitch pin hole center to the the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle to determine which carrier will fit.
The folding carrier that offers the most clearance is # 6502. It measures 7 inches from the center of the... view full answer...
The 20x60 Folding Cargo Carrier # C18151 that you referenced does not have a list of vehicles that it will fit on and be able to fold up. If you have tried and you do not have the clearance then you know that it does not have the clearance.
You could use an extension, but you should know that when you use an extension you cut the capacity of the hitch in half. You may also notice more wobble in the carrier due to the additional moving parts. I would recommend the Hitch Extender... view full answer...
The only time that a vehicle would need crossbars to carry a cargo bag on the roof is if the vehicle has a sun or moon roof that will be supporting a good portion of the weight. If that is not the case then there are options to carry a bag. For a cargo box, however, you will need crossbars as that is how the box is secured.

The Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 will fit just about any vehicle roof regardless of whether or not it has hardware, side rails or crossbars.
If the Town and Country is equipped with a factory-installed roof rack then the crossbars are the self-storing type that fold into the side rails when not in use. I reviewed the owners manual for this vehicle and it does not specify the dimensions or spread of the crossbars (but I was able to verify that the roof weight... view full answer...

This cargo bag holds 18 cu ft of gear and will work with vans that have naked roofs, raised side rails, crossbars or cargo baskets. This bag measures 48 inches long, 40 inches wide, and 19 inches tall and is made of waterproof woven polyester. Although the bag is waterproof, it is always a good idea to make sure anything you carry in any cargo bag is sealed to keep moisture... view full answer...
We have the Rightline cargo bags that can fit a naked roof as well as one with a roof rack installed. Just depends on what size works best for you.
We have the part # RL100S30 which has 18 cubic feet and measures 48 x 80 x 19.
Part # RL100S20 which is 15 cubic feet and measures 44 x 36 x 19.
Part # RL100S10 which is 12 cubic feet and measures 38 x 34 x 19.

The issue with using a rooftop cargo bag such as the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 on a minivan with a naked roof such as your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is the sliding doors, which could possibly cause some interference with the clips that are used to keep the bag mounted to the roof. Due to that, I recommend going a different direction for your needed extra storage, which you can do without getting a roof rack.

In order to determine if the Thule Force XXL # TH626 will interfere with the rear hatch opening on your 2017 Toyota Sienna, you will just need to take a quick measurement. With the front crossbar all the way up, measure from there to the seam where roof and rear hatch meet. If you have at least 58-1/8" from the front cross bar to the the hatch, you would be able to open the Force XXL without interference.

I checked with Thule and the Force XXL, # TH626, will fit the crossbars on the 2011 Toyota Sienna. However, there will be interference between the cargo box and the rear hatch and you will not be able to open the rear hatch all the way without hitting the box. The largest box they suggested that should not cause interference is the Force XL, # TH625. view full answer...
Thule does specify that for their Force XXL cargo box # TH626 to fit on a car without having any contact between the rear hatch and the back of the box the vehicle front crossbar center point needs to be at least 58-1/8-inch from the roof/hatch seam.

The Thule Force XL # TH625 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Honda Odyssey's factory crossbars.
Here's how you will figure out if the cargo box will interfere with the rear hatch of your vehicle.
You will need to slide your front crossbar as far forward as possible (if it's adjustable), and then you will need to measure from the center of the bar to the seam of the rear hatch. If that measurement you took is more than 53-5/8 inches then the rear hatch will open... view full answer...
According to Thule, the Thule Force XL, # TH625, will fit the factory crossbars on a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan. Thule does not offer a cargo box that is both 15 to 16 cubic feet and has u-bolt mounting hardware. Thy instead use the Quick Grip Mounts which make installing the boxes much easier.

The decision to go with a standard or folding carrier is a matter of personal preference. Being able to fold the carrier upwards by 90 degrees against the rear of the vehicle is a convenient feature for when the carrier is not being used, but you do not want to remove it. The only down side is that the folding mechanism takes up some space on the shank, which means that the hitch pin hole on your receiver needs to be pretty close to the rear of the bumper in order to fold.

You are correct that there are definite advantages of hitch cargo carriers over roof cargo carriers. You will have less drag improving your gas mileage and you won't have to reach up to the roof of your vehicle each time you load or unload. The biggest upsides you will find from the roof cargo carriers is accessing the cargo and of course the cost difference for the amount of cargo you can carry.

The Thule Transporter enclosed cargo carrier # TH665C tilts down at about a 45 degree angle but we have not tested it on a 2014 Honda Odyssey so I cannot say for sure if it will allow the rear hatch to open.

The 23x56 Rola Dart Cargo Carrier, # 59550, has a solid shank with a threaded hitch pin hole for use with it's anti-rattle hitch pin. A locking hitch pin is not available for use with this style of hitch pin hole.

The available trailer hitches for the 1997 VW Eurovan are either Class II or Class III and Curt cargo carrier # C18145 does fit these 2 hitch sizes. So the carrier will fit the hitches available for the vehicle. To make sure there is clearance for the cargo carrier to reach past the rear bumper on the van there is one measurement needed. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 6 inches... view full answer...
Based on your measurements of 31-1/2 inches from center to center of each crossbar, you will be just fine with most any cargo box you choose.
I recommend the Yakima Skybox # Y07337 because it's 3x stiffer than other Yakima cargo boxes. It opens from both sides and fits crossbar spreads between 24 and 42 inches just fine.
A solid option to consider is the cargo net # Y07146 because it anchors to the integrated rails to hold your cargo in place during transport.

The Yakima Q Tower roof rack would be an excellent choice for the Yakima # Y07337 Skybox 21. The rack would consist of the following parts:
58 inch crossbars, part # Y00409
Q Towers, part # Y00124
Q Clips # Y00657 (order two sets of these, for a total of 4 clips)
The rack itself has a capacity of 165-lbs but be sure to check the owner's manual to confirm the roof's weight capacity, which could be less than the rack's.

The Yakima SkyBox 18 part # Y07336 that you referenced is 36 inches wide. The Skybox 21 part # Y07337 also happens to be 36 inches wide so either would leave you with the same amount of bar space for a ski rack.
The Thule roof racks for your 2017 Honda Odyssey have 58 inch crossbars so this would be an option that would give you plenty of bar space for a carrier. If you have a naked roof you would want the part numbers # THLB58, # THTP42, # TH460, and # THKIT3101. Or if you... view full answer...
Because of the design of the factory roof rack on your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan it will not accept any roof cargo boxes that use the Quick Grip mounting clamps. Yakima roof cargo boxes all use the Quick Grip mounting clamps.
Thule will offer the Thule Sidekick Cargo Box, part # TH682, that attaches with U-bolts to crossbars that are 4 inches or less in width. view full answer...
The largest Yakima roof cargo box that we have to offer is the Yakima SkyBox 21 # Y07337. We haven't test fit this on a 2013 Honda Odyssey but I can give you some information to help you determine if it will fit.
The SkyBox 21 requires 57" from the center of your front roof rack crossbar to the line where your roof and hatch meet to allow your hatch to fully open (see attached picture). If this measurement isn't quite this long on your Odyssey, let me know what you found that... view full answer...
If you do not know the key number, your best alternative is to have a locksmith open the lock for you. I do not recommend trying to drill the lock out, as it is highly likely that the box would be damaged.
Once the lock is unlocked, you can use your control key to remove the lock core. If you no longer have the control key, we offer them as part # Y8007835. The key number will be engraved on the side of the lock cylinder. Once the key number is known, you can order a replacement... view full answer...
The Thule Force XXL, part # TH626 and the Thule Motion XT XXL, part # TH6299T are extremely identical boxes, but you do have a few features present in each that makes them different.
First off, Thule's boxes come in four groups that relate to their standard features, the Pulse, Force, Motion and Hyper groups. All of Thule's boxes except the Pulse series have dual side access.
Force boxes have Quick Grip mounting, and above average rigidity when opened.
Motion boxes... view full answer...
The only motorcycle carrier we offer that is approved for use on the rear of a motorhome is the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033. The carrier itself has a 500 lb capacity, so it will easily handle the weight of your scooter, but you will be limited by the capacity of the receiver its used in. You will need to ensure that the receiver on your motorhome and SUV can handle the weight of the scooter plus the approximate 50 lb weight of the carrier.

There are some large rooftop cargo baskets that can mount to your roof side rails without the need for crossbars. Surco offers their 60 x 50 x 5 inch # SPS5060-1101, which weighs 34 lbs, and the 50 x 45 x 5 inch version # SPS4550-1101, which weighs 32 lbs. I have included a link to our department page for all of our cargo baskets where you can see offerings from ten different brands. Most other roof baskets require crossbars for their installation.

With the 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 63153, installed in the trailer hitch, you will not be able to install anything else in the hitch and nothing can be installed in the tubing in the cargo carrier. What you could do is use the Curt Dual 2 Inch Receiver Tube Adapter, # D-192. However, the bikes will be hanging above the cargo carrier, limiting the amount of space on the carrier.
Also this adapter/extension has a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds. This means that the cargo... view full answer...
The lowest-rated component in a system determines the overall capacity.
The 1-1/4- and 2-inch hitches we offer for the Toyota Sienna have a maximum rated tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. This is true for all model years from 2010 through 2013 (I checked several since I do not know your specific year). I have provided a link to our page for all Class III 2-inch hitches for the 2013 Sienna to illustrate some examples. I have also linked an article on hitch classes and capacities.

Vehicle manufacturers do not recommend placing any cargo directly on sunroofs. The glass was not designed to support additional weight.
A better option for you would be to add crossbars to your factory side rails and use a roof basket and a cargo bag or a roof mounted cargo box. This would keep the load off of the sunroof and allow you to carry more weight.
Based on your photo, it appears that you have a GMC Acadia. There are different roof rack options depending on the... view full answer...
You could attach the Thule cargo bag, # TH869 to the side rails only but it is not recommended for this bag. The reason is because during starts and stops, the bag can move forward and backwards and it can damage the roof of the vehicle.
What I recommend is a bag that can be used with or without any type of roof rack. Take a look at the cargo bag, # RL100S30. This bag can be attached to the roof safely even without crossbars or rails. Make sure that the bottom of the bag and... view full answer...
If weight carrying capacity is an issue, going with the Rola enclosed cargo carrier, # 59110, if you have a 2 inch receiver, would be the way to go. If you have a 1-1/4 inch Class II trailer hitch receiver, then the correct Rola carrier is # 59108 and it also has a capacity of 150 pounds like the Thule model, # TH665C.
If you are choosing between the two models for a 1-1/4 inch hitch, then I would go with the Rola carrier, # 59108, because even though they have the same capacity,... view full answer...
All rooftop cargo boxes will generate wind noise and to some degree all will negatively affect mileage but those with the more aerodynamic low-profile shape, such as Thule's Hyper XL # TH612, will tend to be quieter and will have slightly less effect on fuel economy. At 90-inches external length this is the longest box Thule recommends for your Outback. It can handle skis up to 201-cm in length so it may be more than you need. It also weighs 53-lbs empty so keep in mind that what... view full answer...
I pulled some Thule AeroBlade crossbars, part # THARB53 along with the mounting hardware for a Yakima Skybox Pro, part # Y90135 to do a test fit for you.
I have included a short video that shows how the Skybox should fit with the crossbars. As you can see in the video, there is a small amount of gap but since the Skybox hardware is adjustable, it can be tightened to hold securely to the crossbars you have on your Forester.

Basically, in any state in the union, if the rear license plate or lights are obscured in any way, a police officer can pull you over, regardless of the specific verbiage of the laws. Beyond that it is just a good idea to add lights for safey. For the Rola cargo carrier # 59502 you can use light kit # 20174.
In order to use the lights your vehicle will need to have a 4-Way trailer connector. If your 2012 Toyota Highlander does not have a trailer connector you can use # 118449.... view full answer...
The bouncing and shaking that you saw in the video is the norm on the majority of cargo carriers on the market. The extended location from the hitch causes the carrier to bounce more than a hitch accessory that might sit closer to the vehicle.
There are a few products that can help with the bounce. An anti-rattle device, like # MT70258 for 2 inch hitches, can help by securing the cargo carrier's hitch shank to the hitch receiver. The bolts will push the shank up tight against... view full answer...
The hitch mounted cargo carrier that is selected most by our customers that have a 2012 Ford Edge, is the Pro Series 24 x 60 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 63153. This carrier is not a folding style carrier like the one you referenced though, but does have a larger platform and cutouts to insert taillights, like part # 98174LED, if the cargo you will be carrying might cover the vehicle taillights.
If you like the folding option, the Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18151, that you referenced... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, however there isn't a carrier that's exactly what you're looking for.
Instead, I recommend the similarly sized 32 x 72 Let'sGoAero Gear Cage FP6, part # H01397 and the 30 x 50 MaxxTow Wheelchair Carrier, part # MT70106.
The Let'sGoAero Gear Cage FP6 features a slide-out carrier that allows rear hatch access while boasting a 300 pound capacity. This solid floor carrier is appropriate for a wide range of vacation and camping uses, as well as handy... view full answer...
Since there isn't a specific light kit that will fit the Curt carrier # C18153, what you will need to do is use a light kit like # 98174LED, and then add 2 brackets part # BK70BB as they work with 6-1/2 inch oval lights. You will also need some self-tapping screws # FA1131822, or drill and use the hardware of your choice to mount the brackets.
Also, ensure that your 2015 Subaru Forester has a 4-Way trailer connector to plug the light kit # 98174LED into. If you need to add... view full answer...
We do not recommend the Rage Powersports Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, because the manufacturer, Rage Powersports, says that their hitch mounted motorcycle carriers should not be used on a trailer or motorhome.
If you would like a motorcycle carrier that will work on a motorhome, I recommend looking at the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, # UF48-979033. We were informed by Ultra-Fab that it is okay to use this carrier on a motorhome or trailer.

Since you have a small trail bike that only weighs 112 lbs, you will be able to use a cargo carrier with your hitch and stay within the tongue weight capacity rating of a Class I trailer hitch for a 2014 Kia Soul. This is my recommendation because there is not a motorcyle carrier for Class I trailer hitches due to their tongue capacity rating.

Even though the Class I and Class II receivers both offer a 1 1/4 inch receiver the inside of the Class I is shorter. This means Class II accessories will not slide all the way in and the hitch pin holes will not line up preventing you from inserting the pin and clip. You will not be able to use the Class II cargo carrier in the Class I hitch.
We do have three cargo carriers that will fit your hitch, Curt part # C18110, Curt part # C18145, and Surco part # 52017. I will link... view full answer...
