Cargo capacity isn't an issue when you can build a trailer and the atv/utility winch helps when there isn't enough power for both vehicle and trailer.

Digging this thread. My wife is wanting to replace her AWD Ford Fusion with a Crossover type vehicle (has eye on Honda CRV's) and we have discussed that sometimes my truck is overkill in size, off road needs and MPG's and how useful a smaller rig would be for quick trips or trips where AWD or low range is not going to be needed.

I have my 2005 Forester XT with 2" Sumo lift on 30"tires and rode my kickstart only, single cylinder, thumper '85 SP600 all over the country as my adventure bike.

@Delux2769 may have inadvertently hinted at it but consider a Forester. Just might fit the bill and then some.

Fellow small vehicle overlander here! Although I haven't actually done any overlanding yet, just been building my rig up in preparation. I really like your Kia, it will be really useful to see what and how you pack for your trips.View attachment 6639
