Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2017 Sorento is the Draw-Tite # 75908. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.
I recommend this hitch over the Curt Hitch # C13195 because the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like bike carriers, or cargo carriers.
Since you plan on doing 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.
If you have the factory tow package and you need trailer wiring I recommend the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56332. If you do not have the factory tow package the harness I recommend is part # 118583.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
I have also included some links to installation videos for the trailer hitches and wiring you can check out.
