2016 Kia Sorrento LX with the V6. With the V6 and AWD it is rated for 5000LBS, with the V6 and FWD (what I have) or the turbo 4cyl with either FWD or AWD if is rated for 3500. It tows really well within its limits (my pop up is probably in the 2600-2800LB range in actual on the road weight). Given that the AWD is rated for 5k and the only difference is the AWD system (brakes, suspension, trans, engine are all the same) I can probably get closer to my 3500LB rating than usual, but I don't want to get too crazy.
