Question:

I am looking to purchase a base plate for my 2016 Kia Soul. I have a Blue ox towing system on my motorhome and a Tandem braking system. I would like to install the Roadmaster base plate instead of the blue ox. The Roadmaster is easy to install and no frame cutting compare to the blue ox. Can you sugest any adapter of fitting to attach my tandem braing system to the arms of the Roadmaster base plate. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

If you prefer to install Roadmaster base plates on your 2016 Kia Soul you can still use your Blue Ox tow bar by adding the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter # BX88178. While there are some differences between the installation of the different brands of base plates, our installers have noted these are fairly minor.

You may care to have a look at the linked article, which covers each of the components required for safe and legal flat towing.

It is always a good idea to review your Soul's owner's manual for any guidance related to flat towing this car.
