etrailer 24x60 Folding And Tilting Cargo Carrier Review - 2022 Kia Sorento

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the etrailer Steel Hitch-mounted Cargo basket on a 2022 Kia Sorento. Adding a cargo basket to your Sorento is gonna help you solve the issue of not really having a lot of cargo space, especially if you have the third role model like the one we're looking at here. When your third row is up, you practically have about a foot and a half of cargo space, so this is gonna help resolve that by getting those bigger, bulkier items out on the road with you for your journey. Our basket is constructed of powder coated steel that's gonna help protect the basket against the elements out in the real world against abrasions and just road debris. Another real cool feature with this is you're gonna get real solid tie down points for your bungee cords or if you had a cargo net, that's another option to secure everything to your basket. You'll also take notice of the mesh floor, so that's gonna allow you to have those things that may be on wheels or things that are kind of smaller that won't fall through like you see on some of the other cargo baskets. more
