I love these set up! Have the same car as well. A 2017 Sportage SX turbo AWD. Did you get an aftermarket hitch installed? Debating about doing that to pull my own little trailer when I go away for a weekend. I’d love to renovate and convert a school bus into a living quarters, but will likely postpone that in favor of some thing with the set up you have above.

Thanks for sharing, really great to see my car towing something!

Not too many of these little Sportage’s towing things around! I had it installed when I got the trailer with a 4 pin adapter. It actually pulls it waaaaay better than I thought it would but you definitely need to be careful. The Sportage manual says to not exceed 100km/h and to stay between 2000-2500 RPM while climbing hills, as well as to not exceed 70 km/h while climbing; so it definitely isn’t something you can just slap a trailer on the back of and drive it like you stole it, but here’s hoping the transmission lasts me until I get a bigger vehicle for my family!
