So now, I am looking at the Blue OxBase Plate (BX2726) at around $419 for the Kia and the Blue Ox Alpha Towbar (BX7365) good to 6500lbs at $592.60. Now comes the confusing part...Brakes. Any suggestions? Maybe someone who is towing a Kia Soul or an equal light weight?

With my old DP we had the Air Force One which worked off the air brakes of the DP and loved it. Now with Axis I asked SMI and it would be a complete out and in ($$$$). So I went with Blue Ox Patriot $939. Pretty easy to use with jeep. and tested on freeway with texting semi driver moving into my lane. Jeep braked straight and true.
