What is the Weight Capacity of a 2014 Kia Sorento Factory Roof Rack
Question:
Good day, Do you have specs on the maximum recommended load weight a Sorento can accommodate on the roof rails? Many thanks

I checked the owners manual for a 2014 Kia Sorento and it indicates that the roof rack capacity is 220 pounds, evenly distributed. You will want to double check your owners manual just to be on the safe side. If you do not have crossbars then you can add some.
It does sound like you at least have the side rails that run front to back. I have included links to the roof rack crossbars that will fit. It appears that for 2014 Sorentos there are raised side rails and flush side rails. the difference is that the raised ones have a gap between them and the roof.
I have included 2 links: 1 for raised rail roof racks and the other for flush rail. Please note that the aftermarket bars are rated lower than the vehicle capacity as I have found in the owners manual. You would need to go by the lower rating.
