I towed an Elkmont 24 from Dallas to Tucson with a 2007 Santa Fe, about 1000 miles.We had been told by Texas RV that the unit weighed only 2500 #. Back in Tucson we discovered that the trailer weighed 3600# empty. The tongue weight was about 600#. I e3nded up getting a V6 Silverado with a tow cap of 5200#. The Elkmont GVWR is 4200#. Your hitch is probably a 3500# hitch with a tongue cap of 500#. Does this tell you what you want to know? Besides, the Kia is FW driven. I "used" about 15000 miles of rubber on that 1000 mile trip towing my Elkmont home.
DON'T DO IT.
Just my opinion.
