Hi Jim, congrats on the new ride! ^___^

We have just what you are looking for! To start, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C37RV. This has a 2" receiver, so you have a ton of options for accessories (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc), and with the 4,000 pounds of towing capacity and 600 pounds of tongue weight capacity, it will carry and pull whatever you need it to. However, this is going to be rated higher than your vehicle, so I encourage you to check your owner's manual for you towing and tongue weight capabilities.

Moving on to the wiring, you are going to want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C34FR73HY. This is plug and play and is specific to the Hybrid or SX Sorrento for the 2025 and 2026 model years. You will need to run one wire to the battery for needed power, but this really shouldn't be too difficult of an install.

What are you planning on using these for? Bike rack with lights, or a small trailer?

Hi Jay; is your 2025 Kia Sorento SX Prestige the hybrid model? It looks like that trim is available for the regular and hybrid models of the Sorento. If it is not a hybrid you can use the #C99DR you were looking at. If it is a hybrid you can use the…

Answer 4

Hi Bryce; U-Haul probably tried to use the Curt #C63RV which does not fit hybrid or SX models of the 2025 Sorento. None of the manufacturers make a custom wiring harness so the only option is a universal splice-in like #C59236 or the #119250KIT which…

Answer 5

Good question, Kurt! It took me a minute to figure it out, but the is one very minor difference. That being, the #119250KIT includes an added circuit tester (see pictures below). The actual wiring part ( #119251 ) is exactly the same for both parts.…

That we are Shane! So since you mentioned you have wires behind the driver's side rear tire, that would indicate that you have the factory tow package, so the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package #118269 is what you'll want.…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
