Kia Sportage 4x4 for towing

We tow with an 8 year Old sportage Kx 4auto and apart from a new battery last year has no so far  been any problem

We used to tow with a 4wd sportage.  Liked it as a tow car.

One thing that some do not understand about kIa  4x4s ,they are not permanen the rear wheels only give add traction if the electronics sense the front wheels are spinning it you manually select it

The majority of mid sized SUVs are part time four wheel drive ....

manually select? 🤔
