What is the towing capacity for the Kia Sorento?

I'm planning on buying a Kia Sorento and I want to know how much I can tow with it. I will be using it for outdoor activities and need to know if it can handle my equipment. Can anyone tell me the towing capacity for this vehicle?

The towing capacity for the Kia Sorento varies depending on the trim level and engine size. The base LX trim with a 2.4L engine has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. However, the higher trim levels with a 3.3L V6 engine can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Before towing with your Kia Sorento, make sure to consult the owner's manual and follow all recommended guidelines. Overloading the vehicle can damage the engine and transmission, causing costly repairs.

Additionally, make sure to properly distribute the weight of your equipment and trailer to avoid swaying or loss of control while driving. And remember to always use a trailer hitch and safety chains for added security.
