Hi Rolling Stones,
We towed an 1987 2619 with a 2002 Kia Sedona for 4 seasons with a small hitch and had no problems. The Sorrento is the same base car. We did have to slow down to 45 mph the last mile of the Leveta Pass in Colorado heading west. This fall we purchased a 2006 Kia Sedona that is a little larger and has the 240 hp engine - the 2002 was about 200hp. I don't know what engine comes with your Sorrento. I posted quite a bit more info about using the Sedona here if you search Kia or Sedona, it should show up. We did not use an equalizer hitch on the 2002, but I plan to put one on the new one when I install the hitch and brakes for more flexibility and more weight on the drive wheels. I kept the tongue weight at a little over 300 lbs - we grossed out at 3100 lbs when we headed to Colorado according to our local weigh station. I know the newer Trailmanors weigh a little more than ours.
have a fun summer!
