Kia Sedona as tow vehicle
I'm looking at a Kia Sedona (2011 or newer) as a replacement tow vehicle for my 2005 Ford Freestar minivans.
Would be towing an 8ft box Viking pop-up. Curb weight is about 1600lbs, probably closer to 2000lbs loaded. No brakes on trailer.
Anyone here tow a pop-up with a Sedona? Would like to hear your experiences with your Sedona, it's weaknesses or strengths.
I've been real pleased with the Ford as a tow vehicle. But Ford doesn't make the minivan anymore. Brakes stopping power very adequate. Our pop-up is very stable back there with just some loss in performance and lose only about 3-4 mpg when towing (17-18 range)
I'm posting here under Folding Trailers as I don't want to hear from the truck folks who aren't familiar with minivan towing capabilities. Been towing my Viking for 12 years from New England to Florida to Wyoming (though I've learned a lot about big rig towing by reading this forum from them).
