It will all depend on the towing capacity of your 2015 Kia Sorento. According to Kia the 2015 LX 4 cylinder has a 1,650 pound gross trailer weight capacity. The LX 6 cylinder models and EX 6 cylinder models have a 3,500 pound capacity. The SX and SXL models also are rated for 3,500 pounds.
Provided the gross trailer weight of the trailer you want to tow is less than the gross trailer weight capacity of your model Sorento then you can tow the trailer using hitch # C13152.
Since you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring if your Sorento did not come with the factory tow package use wiring harness # HM11143820. If it did come with a factory tow package you can use # HM11143965.
