Flint Hill Goods  Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2023 Kia Sorento

Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer, and today we're talking about the Flint Hill Goods Steel Hitch Cargo Carrier on the back of our 2023 Kia Sorento. Now this is gonna be a really good option if you plan on taking a trip with your family and you're using all three rows of seating, but you need somewhere else to store your extra luggage. You'll be able to do this because if you try to store anything in the back, you'll be able to get a few things back here, but I don't think you'll be able to get all your luggage. So if you need a little bit more, this'll help you out with that. Or if you have anything that has a lot of spillage, anything like concrete or mulch and you don't want that inside your vehicle, then it's also gonna help keep it out too. So let's check it out. more

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

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer and today we have the Reese cargo carrier that's 60 inches by 24 inches large. We're gonna take a look at how it fits on our 2019 Kia Sorento. Right off the bat, if you're looking for something to expand your cargo space on your Sorento, the Reese is probably one of the most popular cargo carriers here at Etrailer. That's because it creates all this space. You have five feet of length, you have a solid steel carrier, plus this fits into your two inch hitch very easily. The one downside I have for this carrier is you do have to get your own hitch pin and because it's a hitch pin, you are gonna have a bit of wobble. more

It's going to be a decent enough size to carry around quite a bit of extra stuff. So, if you're going on that vacation or that road trip, you need a little extra breathing room on the inside, you know, you can take some of your stuff, pile it up out here, or it'll even, you know, these come in handy whenever you carry stuff you don't really want to put inside your car, you know, coolers, you know, you're doing stuff around the house, maybe getting some bags of mulch, things like that. more

It can keep that mess outside where it's a lot easier to clean up, you can spray it off with the hose and you're good to go. A couple things to think about with this is your weight capacity, it is gonna have a 400 pound weight capacity and a steel construction. The steel is black powder coated, which will help prevent rust and corrosion, but it's not totally rustproof. more
