The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98841 has a pin hole to accept a 5/8" pin. The Length of the pin needs to be at least 2-1/2" between the lock and collar or bend in the pin.
I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT. This set will give you locking pins for both 1/2" and 5/8" receiver pins. A trailer coupler lock so that your trailer cannot be removed from your vehicle when connected. And lastly a storage lock for the trailer to deter... view full answer...
Welcome back! The best option for a brake controller for your 2005 Kia Sorento EX is going to be the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Kia decelerates.
The reason the Tow-Pro Liberty is the best option is because of its unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the item # C68JR does not fit a 2020 Kia Sorento. The connectors are different and won't match up. Instead you will want the OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK24FR if you have the factory tow package.
If you do not have the factory tow package you are going to have to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your... view full answer...
Usually a trailer whose loaded contents are well-balanced will have a tongue weight (TW) that is in the range of 12- to 15-percent of its gross vehicle weight. So for example, on a 3000-lb trailer that is loaded correctly the measured TW should be in the range of 360- to 450-lbs. Trailers that are loaded incorrectly - with either too little or too much TW - will tend to have handling issues like sway, or they could cause sag in the rear of the tow vehicle.

The ground clearance and hitch pin hole to bumper measurements you referenced seeing on another answer page for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75908 were taken with the hitch installed on the 2017 model Kia Sorento. The slight changes on your 2019 model Sorento cause these measurements to differ with the same hitch mounted. Other variables such as tire size, rear cargo, etc can change these measurements a bit as well even within the same model year so it's important to... view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13195 for your 2019 Kia Sorento weighs in at just about 44 pounds while the Draw-Tite # 75908 is a bit lighter at 39 pounds.
Both feature identical 5,000 pound towing weight capacities but the Curt # C13195 does have a higher tongue weight limit of 750 pounds compared to 500 pounds for the Draw-Tite model. Because of this and the fact that it's made right here in the USA I recommend the Curt option between the two for your Sorento. view full answer...
I checked the owners manual for a 2014 Kia Sorento and it indicates that the roof rack capacity is 220 pounds, evenly distributed. You will want to double check your owners manual just to be on the safe side. If you do not have crossbars then you can add some.
It does sound like you at least have the side rails that run front to back. I have included links to the roof rack crossbars that will fit. It appears that for 2014 Sorentos there are raised side rails and flush side rails. the... view full answer...
To install a 7-Way harness on your, 2023 Kia Sorento without the towing package, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job.
The first harness you'll need is the Tekonsha T-OneVehicle Wiring Harness item # TK26FR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Sorento's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector.
The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Curt, the manufacturer, about Curt Hitch, # C13073. He stated that the hitch is not rated for weight distribution because it is a lighter hitch that is wider than many other hitches. Because of this if you added a weight distribution system it would add more torque and possibly flex or bend the hitch. This flexing or bending would compromise the hitch and make it unsafe for towing. Because of that they do not recommend adding weight distribution with this hitch.

This is a really good question. So we've asked our weight distribution manufacturers this and they have told us that the weight of the WD system like the # EQ37060ET does not count against the tongue weight of the hitch or vehicle because it essentially is becoming part of the hitch of the vehicle. view full answer...

To add a hitch to your 2020 Kia Sorento LX, I recommend the etrailer item # e98843. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver, that has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13152 has a tow and tongue weight rating that is tested independently of the vehicle. The towing capacity of your vehicle is 3,500 lbs and tongue weight of 350 lbs max from the manufacturer. This will be the limiting capacity even though the hitch receiver is rated higher. view full answer...
You are correct that the Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # C13195, and the other similar hitches offered for your 2016 Kia Sorento V6 with tow package, cannot be used with weight distribution systems.
This relates not to the hitches themselves but to the strength of the vehicle's frame structure. This is enough to meet the hitches' base rating of 5000-lbs towing weight, but it is not strong enough to allow for a higher weight distribution rating.
You can add sway control independent of weight... view full answer...

I took a few measurements for you that I think will help. I have attached a diagram and made a short video for you showing the dimensions and the light.
I believe this light will work with your bumper without having to cut out a hole in the back of the bumper. When the light is mounted in the grommet, portion of the light that extends past the wall of the bumper will only be 1-11/32 inches. You should have no problem installing this in your 2 inch x 4 inch bumper. view full answer...
