Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"

Design matches up great with existing holes and mounting to frame. Your [online video] made installation easy. Just make sure to check the weld nut threading if you keep your car outside. It took me a while to clean/prep them on the exposed(driver) side. Would recommend to anyone. 927582

This Curt hitch for our new Kia Soul was EXACTLY as described. it looked great, was easy to install and fit perfectly. The wiring kit made it TOO easy to connect to the car. Just be sure to flip the electronic box over and let the green and red wires be at the bottom, otherwise the harness will be too short to connect to the passenger side tail light connector. The fit and finish as well as the completed hitch look like a factory installed unit. The shipping was extra-fast (Thanks etrailer!). It arrived in time for me to install over the weekend! All-in-all, a good value for the money and great service. What are you waiting for? Order today and get "hitched" up and ready to tow! 23762

still working good

I'm not easy to please, but order arrived within the week, was packaged real good so no damages, and very good quality! Paint was thick and welds were great work! Installation was no problems. Only pain in whole process, and I knew about it prior to ordering, was running power wire from back of car to battery correctly (so it wouldnt rub on anything and stay secured). If they could include somebody in packaging that would do the install,,,it would be PERFECT 853534

With so many choices out there to choose from, it is extremely helpful that you guys not only have a lot of photos of your products, but you also have simple videos that show how the products are installed on the vehicle that it is advertised for. I so far have bought a rhino rack bar set and a trailor hitch. I will definately recomend this site to someone who has difficulty choosing what option fits their vehicle. 861483

Due to the prompt customer service responses and ease of being able to email and not have to wait on hold. And great condition of the parts arriving I will certainly buy from you guys when I get my next car that I need a hitch for. Thank you 811186

Quality item, decent price. A little more difficulty mounting it myself but NOT because of the trailer hitch....because I had to remove some rear wheel covers, mud flaps, etc., from my Kia Soul. Haven't used it yet but with the additional adapter for my bike rack it is extremely easy to put on and take off. It came with the cotter pin and peg but I bought an extra one for another $5. Overall VERY pleased with delivery time and hitch. 41790

Very well constructed item, and easy to install. The videos and tutorial for installation were a lot of help. It took me about 3 hrs but I did not remove the tires nor have an impact driver (yet I could have not been able to use it without removing tires anyway) I also only used a crescent wrench and a ratchet wrench. Also a one person only. I think the hardest part was to remove the original bolts after being there for 8 years. If I had all the right tools it should have taken somewhere around the 40min they suggest. I gave 4 stars because I am yet test on a good run since I just got this installed a day ago. Yet do not have any concerns, it looks very well constructed. Highly recommend this website, helpful, resourceful, fast. 798764

arrived quickly and in excellent condition, installation was exactly like the helpful video along with instructions. Great product highly recommend 541757

I recently purchased the Curt Class I trailer hitch and I absolutely love it! It was easy to install exactly per the instructions. I had to jack up the rear of my 2013 Kia Soul, but that was so I had more room to work. I recommend jacking up the vehicle but please be safe and use jack stands, block the front tires and make sure the emergency brake is set. The wiring harness was a bit more of a challenge, but very much worth the effort. I found the only difficult part was routing the 12 volt power lead from the battery to the rear of the vehicle. If you are routing the wire along existing wiring, be prepared to pull trim parts off the interior and make a hole in the rubber grommet from the engine compartment to the interior. Overall great product and it fits existing tail light connectors exactly. 362489

2012 Kia Soul

I got the hitch for a move from RI to FL. I towed a medium sized rental trailer. No problems. Since then I have only used it with a bike rack. It was not simple to install but that was because of the car. The bolt holes on one side that were supposed to be there, ready to accept the hitch were not. I had my mechanic install it. 564956

I really liked the product however upon installing it, we discovered that when the flanges were welded on the ends, it cause the ends to curve in. When we tried to install it, it came up 1/8 of an inch short. We were able to bend them out a bit. Once the hitch was straightened, installation was no problem. We were able to attach the bike rack after that. I'm super excited to finally have a hitch on my little Kia Soul 544579

The fit was very tight on my Soul, so much so that I almost called to tell them I must have been sent the wrong one or an incorrectly measured one. I had to hammer the hitch into place. Also if your car isn't brand new you'll need to tap the driver side welded nuts. Mine had dirt and rust in them. I would suggest placing the rear on jack stands and removing the rear wheels. It isn't necessary but you'll appreciate the extra room. 486181

The hitch installation went perfectly on our 2013 Kia Soul. The online video helped a lot. Dont try to skip removing the rear wheels and fender liners. We tried it without doing it and had problems because the bolts holes have paint in the threads. Removing those saved a lot of time. 77126

It took me a little over 3 hours to install this product, which I don't think is bad considering I have ZERO mechanical experience and the only tools I have are form Harbor Freight AND I didn't have any help lifting it in place. Getting it around the exhaust pipe was the most difficult part. The instructional videos make it look a little easier, but they have a lift and experience. Overall I recommend this product, and will probably be purchasing another one for my other vehicle. 190906

Product as described and seems to be well built. Video was very helpful and only took me 40 minutes. Only complaint is that the receiver hitch is a little loose and needs a small shim. Also, partly due to me being a newb with trailer hitches, I needed a 1" 7/8 ball and I ordered a 2" so I wasted $10 bucks. 10345

2012 Kia Soul

Product was easy to install and have used several times and it has worked with no issues, the instructions were simple and easy to follow, I use this to haul bikes with my KIA Soul and it fit the need for me. From what I have found out about car it is not meant to haul any thing but it works for what I use it for, great value as well. 444815

Works Great Used to pull a 1500 LBS Boat and it works fine. Soul Pulls like a champ. Installation was a little pain but still only took an hour. weld on car frame was slightly in the way. Nice snug fit 2202

I will let the author of the review know you had a question for them. I would definitely check your owner manual regarding whether or not you should tow with your Soul. One of the gals here in the office has a 2012 Kia Soul so I grabbed her manual. On page 5-54, the manual states that Kia does not recommend using the Soul for towing. This is probably for a combination of the following reasons, or others. 1) The frame is not built to support the weight of the vehicle and a the load of a trailer, 2) the suspension is not built to support the vertical loads added by a trailer, 3) the transmission is not built to pull the additional load, 4) the motor does not produce enough power to safely and efficiently pull the additional load.

Well built, installed easily on 2011 Kia Soul. Used a ratchet for the bolts, and a screwdriver to remove inner wheel well liners. The only part of the hitch that can be seen after install is the receiver tube and loops for safety chain. 23427

Well, I suppose I could complain because it didn't magically float out of the box and install itself while making me coffee at the same time. I bought this to hold a hitch mount bike rack, a job it does swimmingly. This WILL require two people to install, unless you have two extra limbs. 53504

Hitch was very simple to install as well as the wiring. The videos were a huge help for guidance, thank you for those!!! Over all I'm very happy with the price and quality of this product. 22985

This was able to get my bike from Seattle to San Diego in one piece. Would recommend. 665202

I received this product promptly and had my local mechanic install it. No problems and it works perfectly. I highly recommend it to all KIA Soul owners who are looking for a hitch. 50340

Excellent product, fit perfectly, came with all the parts, nicely packaged and delivered within days of placing the order. Customer service follow-up with e-mails excellent. Installation directions were well written, easy to understand, and an important piece of the installation process. Gloss black powdercoat paint on the hitch and receiver was flawless. Product is well worth the price. 24955
