The 2011 Kia Sportage has a maximum towing capacity of 1000 pounds, which cannot be increased with any additional towing package. This capacity remains the same for all models of the vehicle. The payload capacity ranges between 1230 and 1340 pounds, with higher trim levels able to carry a bit more. The tongue weight capacity is 150 pounds, limiting the trailers you can hook up. The base model outputs 176 ft-lbs of torque, while the upgraded engine provides 260 ft-lbs of torque.
