For your 2023 Kia Sorento I recommend the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e28AR. This will be a 2" receiver rated for 4,000 lbs towing and 600 lbs of tongue weight. For a 4 flat wiring harness you can use the # TK26FR.
As far as install, I would call all of this medium difficulty, about 6 out of 10, with 10 being the most difficult. The hitch is a no drill install. You will need to temporarily remove the spare tire, as well as loosen the plastic underbody panel. The exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered as well. There may be a small amount of fascia trimming required as well.
For the wiring it is pretty straightforward. The T-harness will plug in behind the tail lights. You will need to run a wire to the vehicle battery to power the converter.
I have linked a few install videos below. Perhaps give them a watch and see how comfortable you feel with the process.
