Expert Reply:
The best brake controller for a 2019 Kia Sorento is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 as it offers a direct plug-n-play fit with no drilling into the dash required. The Curt Echo also uses a device you are already familiar with, your phone. Therefore you don't need to learn how to use a new device. This is the easiest to install option for a Kia Sorento so it's what I highly recommend.
