What can our Kia Sorento tow?
We are thinking about getting a small, lightweight trailer, either a hard-side or a hybrid. Pop-ups are not an option. We have a Kia Sorento SUV with a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. From what we can...

It is VERY HARD to admit that a 3500lb towing capacity is just not enough for any Hybrid Travel Trailer.
I was (and still am) in the same situation as you are, I drive a 4dr Wrangler (3500lb towing capacity) and asked the same question here, on this forum.
Everyone told me to forget it and just get a pop-up as the air resistance of a Hybrid Travel Trailer will be to much for my V6.
only after I got my current pop-up I discover how much they where right!!! my pop-up is only 2300lb (when loaded and ready to go) and after towing it 4 time this summer I know that it will not be wise to get any higher/heavier model.
I wish I had a Hybrid Travel Trailer, I really do!
but there is no way I will sell/trade my Jeep for a V8 just for towing a hybrid Travel Trailer 3-4 time a year... no way.
So for now, I rather have a Pop-up then nothing.
Find someone that have a pop-up and try to tow it for 50 mile round trip HWY and city (on hills as well), and you will see what I am talking about.

Wise post and proper 10ft pup for a 3500 rated tow vehicle.
