The REMCO outfit offered "lube pumps" which allowed towing SOME automatic transmission vehicles, and "driveshaft disconnects" to allow towing of SOME others. They're still doing the Pumps but spun the Disconnects off to Southwest Driveline. Check them out. They may be able to help you, probably more likely if it's 2WD.
Gotta warn you - people with Disconnects have very strong feelings about them. They love them or they hate them. Because of that, I suggest getting a used driveshaft and either have the disconnect installed in that one, or install in your original shaft and keep the used one as backup.
Sorento's a full-frame truck-based SUV and it isn't light. You'll need a braking system.
Roadmaster offers a baseplate for 2003-09 Sorento, and the other big manufacturers probably do too. But it all depends on being towable four-down.
