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.
From what I'm reading that is good advice. Thankyou, marcojim
