There is a panel just under and behind your driver's side wheel well that you can remove to determine if you have the tow package or not.

If you check out the attached picture you can see what wiring will be in this location for the tow package once the panel is removed. If you have this wiring, then I recommend using the Curt T-Connector # C56332 but if you don't then I recommend the T-One # 118583.

I have also attached installation videos for each of these harnesses. The same panel is removed in each video so you can do a comparison if you would like.

If fuse panel in motor compartment has 30 amp trailer fuse does that mean has the pre wired from factory for trailer hitch? 2019 Sorento v6 awd

The fuse in your engine bay compartment may indicate that you have the factory tow package, but the only way to confirm is to look for the wiring harness located behind the rear bumper on the driver's side. I've attached a video of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56332 to show you this location so you can determine if your vehicle has the tow package or not.
