For your 2012 Kia Sorento 4 cylinder without the factory tow package the best hitch option is the Class III hitch part # 75684 which is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening (most popular size) that has plenty of towing capacity and installs easily.
For trailer wiring then the Tekonsha kit part # 118506 would be a really great option as well as it installs very easily and is also very reliable.
If 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.
