2014 Kia Sorrento LX Towing 2016 Little Guy MAX S

I want to buy a 2016 Little Guy that has a dry weight of 1670 lbs with my 2014 Kia Sorrento 2.4L that has a 1650 towing capacity. The aftermarket Hitch is adequate. I am hoping somebody will tell me that I can make it work. What do you think? Is the poundage difference anything to work about? My family consists of 2 toddlers and my wife and I. I believe I can store most of my camping supplies in my car.

    Moving the supplies in the car doesn't help. Plus, the Kia's 1650lbs towing capacity is with only a 150lb driver. So anything in the car, plus the wife and kids, lowers that 1650 number. Plus "dry" weights are fictional numbers. That's with no battery, no propane, no water and no cargo or options.
    I wouldn't risk my young family.
