I'm only recently solidly someone that is kind of "handy" after spending a long time being very hands off with vehicle repair or maintenance, home repairs, using power tools, etc. Finding myself unemployed for a long time early during the pandemic gave me the time to learn how things work and get back into doing my own auto repairs, modifications, etc. That back story is just so that you have a frame of reference for my review.Installation was quite simple, and took me about 90 minutes by myself but I was also multitasking and doing other little side projects and spent 15 minutes locating the appropriate tools for the install. The hitch was a very tight, close fit on my 2010 Soul +. Some of the bolts that came with the hitch seemed ever so slightly too large for my Soul, so I used some OEM Kia bolts and tightened them to the appropriate tightness, and found the hitch to be a great fit.I did the install on the most level spot on my driveway and just slid under and worked in very limited clearance (wear a headlamp!). The hardest part of the install was getting the hitch aligned so that it would slot in properly. Took me a little bit of wiggling and pulling to get it nicely aligned with the pre-drilled mount points on the car. My wife came out and helped hold one side up for a minute while I got the first couple bolts in finger tight, but aside from that it was a solo operation and could be done totally solo though it gets a little awkward underneath. The bolts that held on the metal tow point where a little tricky to unstick after 10 years of MN weather, but ultimately gave.Hitch seems very sturdy. I plan to use it for a small cargo carrier to allow us to carry a bit more gear for long haul car camping (sleeping in the soul by the way, works well with the right gear). And potentially to use as a step to get in and out of the back end of the car when we are using it as a camper with our rear tent door attachment. Doesn't mess with the clearance of the vehicle too much even for my steep driveway.
