With the larger motor on the Sorento the towing capacity goes up to 5000 Lbs. I don't know what you mean by 1300 lbs with 3.3L engine.
He meant weight capacity of the tow vehicle, NOT the tow (or pulling in the flat lands) capacity. You, your family and pets and other stuff in the tow vehicle PLUS the trailer tongue weight have to stay under the payload capacity. Even if you are under the Tow vehicle's payload limit, it is easy to be over the tow vehicle's rear axle rating between your vehicle load and tongue weight. This I have measured on my rig ;(
