I’m thinking about upgrading to a Kia Sorento and was wondering about its towing capacity. I used to have a smaller SUV and it struggled to pull my little fishing boat. I’m worried about getting stuck on the boat ramp again. Has anyone towed a decent-sized boat with a Sorento? I’d love to hear your experiences

A Kia Sorento can typically tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Your loaded boat, trailer, and gear weighing around 4,500 pounds should be within this limit, making the Sorento capable of handling it. However, it’s important to check your specific model’s towing capacity and ensure your vehicle is equipped for towing.

To tow your boat with a Kia Sorento, weigh the fully loaded trailer first. If your boat and trailer weigh about 3,000 lbs, ensure the trailer is balanced and within limits. Towing short distances should be fine, but for longer trips, brakes on the trailer are essential for safety.
The Kia Sorento can handle light to moderate boat towing, up to 3,500 pounds. Check your boat’s weight and ensure your Sorento’s towing package is properly equipped for safe hauling.
