For a trailer for your 2011 Kia Sorento LX the best option is the Draw Tite part # 75684 which is a confirmed fit and is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening. This size hitch is the best choice because it has higher capacities and more hitch accessories made for it. I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118506 which is a confirmed fit too. Install video attached for this too.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For a cargo carrier we have the Curt folding carrier part # C18151 which would work well. Folding carriers are great because when you don't need them you can fold them up which gets them out of the way.
