Can a 2013 Kia Soul Carry an Electric Wheelchair on a Cargo Carrier
Published 11/11/2017
Question:
Hi, if I used a class-I style towing hitch on my 2013 Kia soul, would it support an electric wheelchair and the carrier?

Expert Reply:
I can't say for sure. It depends on the weight of the carrier and the wheelchair. All of the trailer hitch receivers we carry for your 2013 Kia Soul, like the Draw-Tite # 24839, have a 200 pound tongue weight capacity.
Which means the carrier and the wheelchair combined cannot be heavier than 200 pounds with this hitch. It's likely the wheelchair is quite heavy and will exceed that itself.
Additionally, the Soul may have a lower capacity than the hitch so you may be limited even more. You are limited by the maximum capacity of the lowest rated component.
