flat towing a Kia Soul

[RickSatt]

Hi all, First post, new RVer, anyone using a Kia Soul (manual Tran.) for your toad? It seems like a good fit to our new 30' Alante. Any thoughts are appreciated!

check the owner's manual. because it's a manual, you could put in neutral... but a quick google (there are many) from etrailer.com says "To avoid serious damage to your vehicle, do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground. ... According to Kia, the 2020 Kia Soul is flat-towable with all four wheels down if it has the manual transmission. The note in the owner's manual is for models with the automatic transmission."

I would check the owners manual for the Kia or at least check here if you don't own it yet.

I flat tow a Saturn Astra (manual) and its a breeze. Neutral, unlock the steering, put the braking system in place and go.
