For your 2021 Kia Sportage I recommend the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR due to it having a 2" receiver giving you the most options for accessories, but also due to its 675lb tongue weight rating and 4500lb trailer weight rating which is the highest ratings out of all of the trailer hitch receivers offered for your vehicle.

If you are planning on towing with your Sportage you will also need a trailer wiring harness # 118698, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which is all included in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
