we have a 2016 Kia Soul AUTOMATIC transmission and we would like to tow it with our RV. Is this possible, and what tow bar would we need?

According to the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Kia Soul, the version with automatic transmission cannot be flat towed with all wheels on the ground. This is noted in section 6-27 of the manual. The car's front wheels must be elevated and placed on a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1 from Roadmaster.

This type of dolly requires a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 to operate the electric brakes.

@KeithK Yes, a 2016 Kia Soul with a manual transmission can be flat towed. For a base plate you'd need # BX2726, tow bar # BX7420, lighting # RM-15267, and braking # BLU37TR.
