Tongue Weight Capacity of 2022 Kia Sorento
Question:
I just purchased a 2022 Kia Sorento. What is the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle?
asked by: KB
Expert Reply:
From what I read in the owner's manual for the 2022 Kia Sorento, the maximum amount of tongue weight that can safely be applied to a hitch installed to the vehicle is 220 lbs.
For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C34ER. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like part # TK26FR. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
