I am taking off in the morning from California to New Mexico with a 4x8 Uhaul trailer fully packed and hooked up to my 2016 Kia Soul. It is my first time towing and I have been a nervous wreck about whether this would work or not. Seeing your video has eased so much of that stress off. Thank you so much! Kia Souls FTW!
I see this video is old, but I have a 2010 manual transmission 2.0L Kia Soul. I had it wired and tow hitch installed some years ago. About a year ago I finally put it to the test of pulling a UHaul trailer loaded. I had no problems. Have owned my 2010 since new and still own it today. I have never had any problems with it. I still want to chop it and make a Kia Soul Truck out of it. This damn thing can haul anything. ❤
Thanks for posting this video! I just finished towing a similar load on a 2015 Soul+ (2.0L w/ a 6-speed auto) all the way from Miami to Houston. You helped settle my nerves, yesterday, before heading out. You’re right - the car definitely doesn’t like 6th gear, which is alright with me, since I didn’t want to burn out the trans. One thing I will note is that the range on the cluster is wildly inaccurate until you get below 1/2 tank, then it gets you to a close approximation of range. Overall, I think we averaged 19 mpg over 1200 miles. Not bad, considering that much of North Florida is rolling hills, and you’re having to drop into 4th gear to climb each one.
Wooo! Thanks for posting this. It was exactly what I was looking for. I need to delivery large cargo that doesn't fit in the back, but it will fit in a uhaul trailer. I didn't know if I needed to buy a new car or not. Guess not! THANKS!
I am so happy to see this video. I’ve read that in the UK (or it could’ve been Australia maybe) that people tow with these cars regularly. I have a 2016 Soul+ with the 2.0 engine and I am considering a 4 x 8 or 5 x 8 U-Haul trailer for my upcoming move. However my journey will be much further from St. Petersburg Florida to Washington state, approximately 3000 Miles. I am very nervous about going that far with a trailer especially since I’ll be going over mountain ranges. I’ve heard nothing but good things about people towing with these cars though. It’s just a longer distance and the mountains that worry me. I checked with U-Haul and they offer hitches and wiring with about five different options for wiring so I’m a little confused which one is best. I’m thinking of just buying the hitch myself though and installing it and then having a shop install the wiring connections. You said you got horrible gas mileage, what kind of numbers are we talking??
If you drive from Florida to Wash. State, you can go the southern route on I-10 across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, to California and then head north. Might help. Also ask your insurance company how your insurance protects you when pulling a trailer. As for the correct hitch, go on U-Haul's website and select trailers and then you'll be prompted to enter the year/make/model of your car. As you continue you'll get to the screen that shows you which class hitch you'll need. Typically the Soul has a Class-I hitch and when I looked on their website, it wasn't good enough to get their lightest trailer. A Class-II hitch allows some weight, but nothing like you're hauling. So that might help you also. Good luck!
Thank you for a great review of your experience! A couple of questions if youve got time: What size is the trailer? Did the U-Haul dealership provide the hitch and wiring and install it for you? Thanks!
As said, the manual does not recommend towing and since it does, any damage it causes may not be covered under warranty. What could happen? With the CVT/IVT transmissions having clutches in them, the wear and tear of pulling a trailer possibly could reduce their life. So while towing now doesn't seem to be an issue, when your mileage climbs higher, you may find the trans doesn't work. One thing to consider, however, is your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). On my 2020 2.0L Soul EX, it's 4023 lbs. and that includes 860 lbs. for all occupants and cargo. Adding a trailer could exceed that.
i have the 2012 plus model i bought the trailer hitch still waiting for that ,im thinking to tow some 5 x 8 trailer or something like that .Your video shows me what these cars are capable of.Thanks ....oh i forgot yes i do a hugeeee fan of Souls and Kias in general i have an Spectra 2009 too.
Hi there, really enjoyed your vid. I am exhausted waiting for my ford Maverick truck to be built to start my dream road trip - question is I have a 2000 lb camper and am thinking I just might hook up to my 2013 Kia Soul. Is this a bad idea? The camper has brakes. And would adding an auxiliary trans cooler and engine cooler help?
I just bought a 2021 Kia Soul LX with a 2.0L engine, I'm assuming that my Kia soul would also make it? I am looking to use the same UHAUL tailor that you used and I will be driving from San Francisco to New Orleans (around 2,250 mi). Also, I hear it's recommended to get your car a diagnostic after a long-distance drive, did you do that after your drive? If so, what did the diagnostic look like?
Kia Soul base 2019 - I am trying to get a bass boat total weight would be at the limit of 1200, trailer + boat + motor and 2 people. Once or twice a week, about an hour or 2 each trip.
It would definitely put strain on the transmission. If it's a manual you're probably fine. If it's an automatic, the trans will be toast in a year or two.
Hi Jet! I have a 2016 Kia Soul (base model - just like yours) and was thinking of buying a boat. The boat and trailer weigh no more than about 1800lbs. and the boat ramp (which is not steep) is a mile down the street from me. Honest opinion - Think the Kia could do it? And what brand/class hitch did you use?
Shouldn't be a problem, but bring a spare tow vehicle the first time you launch the boat to be safe.. I once got stuck pulling a boat out with a front wheel drive minivan because the ramp had too much slippery algae on it.
I love Kia Soul. For senior citizens like me, it is a perfect car. I can easily slide in and out. I don't need to bend my hips or knees. The car seat level is just right. And I do not hit my head when I get in and out of the car. Easy and smooth. And nice looking. I am a nurse and some other nurses love Kia Soul as well.
If you read the fine print no vehicles can tow. Even big pickups say you can’t tow more than 1000-1500 lbs without trailer brakes. Any weight in the truck will reduce the weight down below that of any trailer. Basically everyone ignores the owners manual. It’s just a recommendation anyway.
I'm thinking of doing a 37 hour drive (2500 miles) with the same trailer from Southern Ontario to Vancouver B.C. using a Kia Forte instead of the Soul. Has the exact same motor. The vehicles weigh virtually the same according to Google (around 2950 each). My driver's manual also doesn't recommend towing anything. Am I nuts?
What size is the trailer? I’m making a trip from FL to TX in a few months and trying to figure out what trailer and hitch to get for my trip. I have a 16 Kia Soul
Trailer is a 5x8.. Get a hitch that does not have the notch out of exhaust.. It's completely un-necessary, and impedes on structural stability. Did you notice my mention of the running lights issue?
@@JettRiver Can you tell me what you mean by running lights? I don’t know anything about towing or hooking up lights. I just need to tow a couple pieces of furniture 6 hours away.
Thanks for the video. I plan to tow a 4×8 trailer from CA to Houston,TX on our 2018 Kia soul plus. Can you tell me what is the mileage drop I can expect when the trailer is loaded to recommended capacity? TIA
@@JettRiver Did your insurance cover the towing? Or were you on your own if things went south? Can I a get any insurance cover for towing for the soul in North America?
@@physiovinayak I bought insurance through Uhaul... I used to NEVER get the additional insurance, but a few years ago I got it on a hunch... That time the rental car got broken into and the windows smashed out... The rental company took it back and didn't say a word about anything. Going forward, I ALWAYS get it.
"Braked" means the trailer has independent brakes separate from the car and they slow the trailer. Otherwise, the car's brakes may not be able to handle the load especially on a downhill. Check with your insurance company first to see if they cover damage if you tow a trailer so you are not exposed to unknown risk. I have a 2020 Soul I just bought and the owner's manual states it's not recommended to two. But the hitch can be used for bicycles and cargo boxes.
@@ninemilliondollars I understand the 2020 models have CVT transmissions which are different from the previous "regular" type of transmissions. There have been many reported issues with CVT failures on the Soul Forum (not related to towing).
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Americans don't buy Kia Souls to go hook a trailer to them to go towing. So OEMs like Kia don't waste engineering resources to develop towing packages for small hatchbacks.

How did it do on hills I have a Kia soul 2019 1.6 I am moving from MA to TX I own my own trailer. I am doing my first trip. I did a class 2 trailer hitch with brake setup my trailer is 5/9 900lbs empty. I wasn't sure if you had any over heating concerns ? How was gas miles how miles did you go before you had to get gas again was it 200 or 250
Handled hills like a champ.. 4th gear @ 65 MPH uphill, 5th gear @ 75 MPH flat/downhill. Stay out of 6th, and use manual mode to keep it in the appropriate gear. I kept the A/C in the mode that pulls air from the outside, so I could smell if anything was off. I also checked my oil every time I stopped. You should be alright. Just be careful and use common sense. MPG was a killer though. Averaged around 17 MPG, stopping every 150 miles or so.
I'm not towing with my Kia Soul because it doesn't have a transmission oil cooler. Why in hell in the hell would I want below 24 MPG when towing? I have a GMC Yukon that I do towing with. In fact I'm gonna buy a tow dolly to transport my Kia Soul safely.
Jet River, what is the longest you've driven nonstop throughout your journey with the trailer? And could you make a tutorial or point me in the direction of how or where I should get the wiring done? Me and my wife will be moving from norfolk VA to south florida in a year or so and we own a 2016 kia soul basic and a 2013 kia soul plus. Both with tow hitch but no lighting fixture. Any assistance/ advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey Henry, welcome to the sunshine state!! To answer your questions: On our move from New York, we had a couple days of driving a solid 8+ hours..

Not sure why, but with the extra load they wont work if wired through the car's running lights.
If you tow and you have an drive train problem and kia finds out, you towed with it, you can bet they will say you obliterated your warranty. Also, the Australian and UK versions may have better transmission, brakes etc.
Jet River Did you use a powered converter? Because I have a 2018 ex with led running lights in the back and you have to use a powered converter. And I tow a 4x7 trailer regularly . And I have the 2.0L .... seeing you pull with the 1.6 is amazing
Jet River I blew threw 2 powered curt ones. Get the tekonsha one it’s great! My 2.0 also likes hanging in 5th on the highway doing 105 ish (km/h). Up in Canada here lol. And I was pulling a 1600# behind me. 10 ft enclosed.. lots of power but you felt it back there
