To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Sportage, I recommend the etrailer item # e38KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.
I really like the etrailer hitch item # e38KR because it installs behind your rear bumper and the crossbar is completely hidden. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight.
For a wiring harness, you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C99DR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. This will give you a 4-way connector capable of controlling your trailer or accessories lighting functions.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with a couple of installation videos so you can see how to get these parts set up and what this hitch looks like when installed.
To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
