Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Kia Sorento (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

Yes, Curt part number 13513 is designed for the Kia Sorento. The hitch mounts to existing tapped holes in the vehicle frame rails on both sides, so no drilling is required. However, the installation may require exhaust modification depending on your vehicle's exhaust configuration.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight carrying hitch, and 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight distribution hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch includes 4 HHCS M12×1.5×25 bolts (part 10-10511) and 4 conical washers (part 30-00149). These fasteners attach the hitch frame brackets to the vehicle frame rails using existing tapped holes in the frame.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch mounts to existing tapped holes in the vehicle frame rails on both the driver and passenger sides.
1. Position the hitch frame brackets against the inner surface of each vehicle frame rail. 2. Align the holes in the hitch frame brackets with the existing tapped holes in the vehicle frame. 3. Place a 1/2" conical washer on each 12mm bolt. 4. Insert the bolts through the brackets into the frame holes. 5. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 83 lb-ft.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 83 lb-ft.
The hitch may require exhaust modification depending on your vehicle's configuration. If the tail pipe touches or rattles against the hitch cross tube while driving, you will need to reform the hanger bracket welded to the vehicle frame to pull the tailpipe up and create additional clearance. Consult a qualified technician if you are unsure how to perform this modification.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight, your Kia Sorento may have a lower manufacturer-specified limit that must be observed.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps prevent loosening due to vibration and wear during towing.
