Ok.....So my Fiance and I are packing up, and moving to Clearwater Fl. in a couple of weeks. I attached a class 3 tow hitch, and bought an aluminum cargo carrier from harbor freight. My problem is figuring out tongue weight. I read that my 2005 Kia Sportage (V6) can tow 1500 lbs, then some places say 2000 lbs. (I know tongue weight is 10-15% of towing capability) but how much can i really put on the cargo carrier without causing damage? Also, can I increase the weight by strapping the carrier to the hatch or absorb some of the weight and bounce from the road? Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially from those who have traveled a long distance with a cargo carrier on a Kia Sportage)

Thanks

This does not really have anything to do with Chicago.

Maybe try reading a forum designed for Kia owners...
