It's an exciting time when you're looking to start branching out into the idea of using a trailer hitch with your 2019 Kia Soul. A whole new world of opportunities can open up with areas like sports and recreation.

All hitch classes are determined by the capacities of a hitch's tongue weight and gross trailer weight. The EcoHitch # 306-X7326 has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs and gross trailer weight capacity of 2000 lbs, which means it is considered a Class I hitch. In fact, all of the hitches that are designed to be used with your 2019 Kia Soul are Class I. However, the Eo-Hitch is the only one with a 2" receiver tube and comes with an additional 100 lbs capacity in tongue weight than other hitches that fit your vehicle.

Class I hitches are great for light-duty applications such as hauling two bikes like the Swagman # S64683 or a cargo carrier like the Curt # C18145.
