Yakima  Roof Basket Review - 2023 Kia Sorento

Hi, Matt with Etrailer, and today we're talking about the Yakima SkinnyWarrior roof basket on top of our 2023 Kia Sorrento. Now, this would be a great option for you for a few reasons. If you're looking for something that's gonna be better for hauling those longer items, or if you and your family are out on a trip and using all three rows of seating, you're not gonna have a whole lot of cargo space, so putting that extra luggage on top of your vehicle is gonna be the ideal solution for you, especially if your hitch is already being used by other accessories. So let's check it out. So this carrier is gonna have a maximum capacity of carrying up to 165 pounds. It is important you check what your roof and your roof rack are capable of carrying, so you don't overload anything. more
