Trailer Wiring Recommendations for 2019 Kia Sorento
Question:
Which wiring harness do I need for Kia 2019 Sorento EX V6. Will it already be pre wired for trailer or do I need to run wire from battery? Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2019 Kia Sorento there are two trailer wiring options I recommend. The Hopkins kit part # HM11143965 for if you do have the tow package (does not require running wire to battery) or the part # 118583 which is the correct kit for if you do not have the trailer package. This does require running a wire to battery so that your trailer wiring is powered by the battery and not the delicate vehicle wiring.
If your Kia Sorento has a trailer hitch you most likely have the tow package. Since the vehicle is very new (writing this November 2018) you can check the window sticker too as the info would be listed there as well. Or you can contact a Kia dealer with the VIN.
I recommend the T-One brand the highest since is our most reliable option.
