Hitches for your 2015 Kia Sorento like the Curt # C13152 are rated for weight distribution and based on the capacities of your vehicle and this hitch the best option will be the Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
You will need to start with a 4-way for a brake controller (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # HM11143965.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
