The easiest way to know for certain whether a vehicle has the tow package or not is to check with a Kia dealer with your VIN. With that info they will know all of the options your vehicle was built with. Typically the tow package will include a trailer hitch at the rear of the vehicle and a trailer wiring harness like a 4-way or a 7-way.

It looks like you are looking for a trailer hitch for your 2011 Kia Sorento EX. The good news is that the Draw Tite hitch part # 75684 would be the correct hitch to use regardless of whether or not you have the tow package.

I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready Harness part # 118506.

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.
