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...

Well, we've spent a lot of time this week looking at trailers. We've moved on from the hybrid to a hard-side with internal bed. The walk-around bed is non-negotiable. Almost everything else is. Almost.
We found two that we really like, a 2014 Forest River Surveyor Sport SP264, and a gently used 2012 Jayco White Hawk UltraLite 26'. Both have lots of features we like and a couple we're not so wild about. But we've also learned that over 26', we'd need a truck; under that length, we could tow with a diesel SUV, like a BMW, Mercedes, or Touareg. Since we prefer an SUV to a truck for daily use, we also saw a 2015 Surveyor Caded SC226 that we like. No sofa, though, which we'd really like. Our local dealer is kind of pricey, too, so the search isn't over. We have more homework to do.
