For your 2011 Kia Sorento 4 cylinder, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75684 is a confirmed fit. The hardware that comes with this kit are designed specifically to fit the weld nut of your trailer frame. They are M10 x 1.25 x 30mm hex bolts. Because the weldnut is easily gunked up, I recommend using the Nylon Tube Brush - 1/2" # 814092 and some spray lubricant to clean the weld nuts prior to install.

If all else fails you could go to an auto parts store and borrow a tap to tap new threads in the weld nuts. You have to be very careful if you do this because you do not want to tap the weld nut at an angle or break the weld nut free from the frame.
