Expert Reply:

There are a number of parts you will need in order to flat tow your 2021 Kia Soul with a manual transmission, and I'll be happy to recommend the best parts that are the easiest to use for you. The best parts for you are the following:

- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2727
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380
- Wiring Kit: Demco 4-Diode Universal Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit with 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Connector # DM9523010-54
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

The Blue Ox Base Plates have removable arms which means your Soul is going to keep it's nice, clean aesthetic, and the Alpha 2 tow bar is the best option because it has non-binding latches and a swivel function so it will be easier than other tow bars to both connect and disconnect from your base plates. The Alpha 2 also comes with safety chains meaning you won't have to make an additional purchase.

I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Kia's electrical system safe. As for the braking system, Stay-IN-Play DUO is the best option because it is a one-time install which will never require any type of removal like the portable systems, so it is definitely the easiest. It is also the best performing with the smoothest braking.
