Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2023 Kia Sorento

Hi, Matt with etrailer. And today, we're talking about the Thule roof rack on top of our 2023 Kia Sorento. Now, a roof rack's a really good option for the Sorento for a few reasons. One of those big reasons is if you have a family and you wanna take a trip, since we do have three rows of seating, you're probably not gonna have a lot of storage in the back of your vehicle. So your roof's gonna be a great option for that. And if you don't own a hitch or your hitch was already being occupied by something else, that's gonna be another reason to store things on top of your roof.
