The Class II Draw-Tite # DT66MR is compatible with all models of the 2020 Kia Sorento, including your SX model.

I'd recommend going with a Class III hitch which uses the more common 2 inch receiver size which has a higher capacity and is also compatible with many more hitch mounted accessories. Typically, there's isn't much of a price differential between a Class II and III hitch, so there's really no reason not to go with the more common size.

I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13195 which is also compatible with all models of the 2020 Kia Sorento. In my opinion, Curt does a slightly nicer job on their finishing process using a higher gloss powder coat, so that's what I typically recommend.

To complete your towing system, you'll also need a wiring harness like # C56332, a ball mount like # D-28, a hitch pin like # PC3 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness.

The engine itself doesn't quite make the difference, but the model does. If you have the SX model of the 2019 Kia Sorento I recommend the Class III etrailer.com Trailer Hitch #e98843 because it has a matte black finish that does a great job of…

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C67FR will sit in the middle of the bumper area on your 2023 Kia Soul so since you have a center exhaust you won't be able to install a trailer hitch on your vehicle. With that being said, we do have some other…

Yes, that note is accurate. A Class I trailer hitch receiver is limited to only 2 bikes regardless of the amount of weight it's carrying. This is due to the exaggerated force caused by the additional leverage from the bikes being further away…
