2016 Kia Sorento 3.3L and Tab 400

We have been considering moving up to the 400 but I don’t think our Kia Sorento 3.3L v6 no towing package  will be powerful enough especially in the mountains. Any thoughts?

If your Sorento is a front wheel drive the max towing is 3500 lbs. This isn't sufficient for a loaded 400. The four wheel drive version can tow 5000 lbs so in theory it should work but considering it's HP and torque ratings I'd guess it would really have to work to pull a 400 especially in the mountains. https://www.moritzkia.com/blog/2016-kia-sorento-towing-capacity/

Maybe someone has some real world experience they can share. How does your Sorento do with the Max S in hilly or mountainous terrain now?

Works effortlessly with the 320.

We tow a 320S with our Sorento V-6 AWD. While it's great for the 320S, I don't think I'd try a 400.
