For a great roof rack on the flush rails of your 2022 Kia Telluride, I recommend the following parts:

- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" # TH712400
- Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # TH710601
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet - 186095 # TH77JV
- Thule One-Key System Locks # TH450400

With this system, you receive plenty of crossbars space to mount a cargo carrier and a wide range of other compatible accessories. Also, with the bottom channels of the SquareBar Evo crossbars, they install quickly and easily into the Evo flush rail feet. With this particular setup, you receive a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds. I recommend confirming with your Kia owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle that much weight.

As far as a great cargo box/carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft # TH6358B. The Force XT XL comes with impressive internal dimensions of 77-1/2" long x 29-1/2" wide x 15-1/4" tall. As far as mounting the box onto your crossbars, the Quick-Grip mounting clamps attach in a matter of minutes for a quick and easy installation. With the Thule Force XT XL, you do have enough room on your 2022 Kia Telluride to fully open your trunk with the box installed.
