The weight of the Curt Hitch part # C13195 that you referenced is right at 50 lbs. I am not sure how the Kia brand hitch comes out to 125 lbs unless it just is a much larger hitch. But this one will weigh less and I am sure cost less as well so it would be a better option. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

Then for trailer wiring you would want the part # C56256. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
