For towing a trailer with your 2017 Kia Sorento the best hitch option is the Curt part # C13195 if you wanted the highest towing capacity and the best value, but if you preferred the most hidden hitch the EcoHitch part # 306-X7320 is the way to go as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you'd then want to use the part # 118583 as it has the easiest install and the most reliable converter box.

Normally I'd recommend a ball mount and hitch but the rental place you will be going to will provide you with the correct size ball and rise/drop ball mount. Since have no way of knowing what rise/drop you'd need it would be in your best interests to wait to see what they recommend.
