As the title states, I'm in the market for an SUV/Truck that is AWD/4x4 and can tow my small 14' boat.

I'm estimating the total weight is maybe MAX 1,200, and that's being generous.
I really like the CX-5, and its much more in my price range, however I'm concerned it might not be powerful enough to tow the boat. It's about a 10 minute drive from where it is stored, to the ramp. The only thing is, there is a decently steep hill to get out of the park we launch out of.
The CX-5 with the turbo sounds fantastic, but it's out of my budget and I'm looking to buy used. I noticed the CX-9 already has this engine and there are some used 2016+ that I could swing. I don't haul a lot of people, just my girlfriend and my dog. Does anyone have any experience or advice?
Thanks
