A 2012 Kia Soul can tow up to 2000 pounds, with a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. While its towing capacity is decent given its size, the tongue weight restricts the types of trailers it can handle. It should manage medium-sized trailers with light loads fine, but larger trailers may be too heavy to tow. The Kia Soul's torque output ranges from 123 to 148 lb-ft, depending on the engine. The base engine delivers 123 lb-ft, while the upgraded 2.0L motor offers 148 lb-ft. All models have a payload capacity of 1056 pounds.
I own a Pride GoGo scooter that weighs 127 pounds and I'm wondering if a lift for it that weighs 82 pounds would be too heavy for the car.
