Hitch Extension for 1-1/4 Inch Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2011 Kia Soul

Published 01/18/2018

Question:

I am looking at your kit# 24839 for my 2011 Kia Soul. I am designing a carrier to carry a welding bottle. I need to find a place where I can purchase a 24inch piece of 1-1/4inch sq. square stock that goes into the hitch. Would you sell that item? Thanks,

By square stock I believe you are referring to a hitch extender. There is an extension for the Draw-Tite # 24839 hitch that fits your 2011 Kia Soul, but it is not 24 inches. The longest we carry for a 1-1/4 inch hitch is the 10 inch Brophy Hitch Extender # HES0.

Please keep in mind that extenders such as this one will reduce your hitch capacity by half, so using one will reduce the Draw-Tite's tongue weight capacity to 100 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of both the hitch and extender for you to take a look at.
