Question:
I own a 2017 Kia Soul+. I own a Yakima Ridgeback bike rack. Is the Draw-Tite 24915 the best hitch for to put the Ridgeback on my Soul? Does the receiver extend far enough? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Yakima Ridgeback # Y02457 needs a Class II or higher hitch to fit so the Draw Tite you mentioned wouldn't work but the EcoHitch part # 306-X7326 will. A Class II only accessory like your bike rack actually won't even slide into a Class I hitch due to a weld stop in the hitch tube. The EchoHitch won't have that issue and would easily have the clearance needed for the rack to fit as well.
