Question:

Can I flat tow a 2016 Kia soul. Manual transmission 1.6 L L4 Di

asked by: Perry

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can flat tow a 2016 Kia Soul with a manual transmission. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, wiring harness, supplemental braking system, brake line kit, and potentially a high low adapter. I have listed all of the parts you will need below along with any accompanying install videos we may have.

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-522114-5

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524

Brake Line Kit - Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-88400

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
