How to Tell if 2019 Kia Sorento is Equipped with Factory Tow Package
Question:
I see you have different wiring options for a 2019 Sorento depending on if it has a tow package or not. Can you tell me where or how I can check if I have this on my car?

Expert Reply:
Absolutely, you can check just behind the rear tire on the driver's side of your 2019 Kia Sorento, on the outside of the frame rail. The factory connector, if present, will look like the one in the attached photo (B). Note that you will need to remove a protective cover to gain access to the Sorento's wiring harness (C).
Take a look at the video I attached. Around the 0:35 mark, it shows how this cover is removed and where the Kia connectors are located.
If you find that you do have the factory tow package, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56332. Otherwise, you can use # 118583, which plugs into your tail light wiring connectors instead and requires a power wire to be ran directly to your vehicle's battery. I have also linked you to an installation video for this harness.
