Expert Reply:
There is no drilling required to install Curt trailer hitch # C13195 on your 2017 Kia Sorento. I have included links to the instructions and to a video showing an example installation for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use # C56256 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
