2013 Kia Sportage: What is the towing capacity including torque, payload, and tongue weight?

The 2012 Kia Sportage has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds which means Youll be able to do some light towing, but nothing heavy duty. So something like a small trailer or a couple of dirt bikes or motorcycles, a boat, etc. Youre going to get 163 to 269 lb-ft of torque. For the payload, You have 1,230 to 1,422 pounds. And finally, the tongue weight for Your vehicle is 200 pounds. The vehicle is great if Youre an outdoor enthusiast and have some gear to haul around, but it is by no means a work vehicle. For a compact SUV and random road trips, though, its a very decent vehicle to own.
