The tools needed to install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24985 on your 2020 Kia Soul is actually more daunting than the installation. I am very confident that a moderate DIYer can accomplish the installation of this hitch on a 2020 Soul. I have added a cut out from the linked installation instructions which show the tools you'll need.
The tools are all standard and as you can see by the instructions I added, the install is very straightforward. There isn't any part of the install that takes special knowledge, just some old-fashioned elbow grease.
