Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Kia Telluride w/ Flush Rails and a Cargo Basket

Question:

Hello, I have a Yakima MegaWarrior Basket pn Y07080 from an older vehicle and I would like to use it on my 2023 Telluride. It has flat rails on the roof but nothing else. Is this possible and what roof rack do you recommend? Thank you

Yes, it is possible. To mount your Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket item # Y07080 on your 2023 Kia Telluride, I recommend the roof rack by Rhino-Rack which includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA137B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RR94DY

The MegaWarrior Basket item # Y07080 will connect directly to the crossbars. You will want to make sure your crossbars are spread out between 30" - 38". This roof rack has a 165 lbs capacity so you won't want to exceed that. The included locks will help prevent theft.

I have attached an installation video below to show you what this roof rack looks like installed.
