How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the rooftop cargo basket from Curt on our 2022 Kia Sorento. Adding a roof basket to your vehicle is gonna help solve the problem of having limited cargo space on the inside. If you have a model Sorento like this one with the third row, if you have that row up, you practically have eliminated all your inside space, so you can make use of the negative space on top of your vehicle by adding a basket. Our basket's made of powder coated stainless steel and that's gonna be a nice medium-sized basket for your bigger bulkier items. Your dimensions are gonna be 42 and 1/2, 37 wide, and it stands about four inches high, as far as your usable space. Now, as far as the distance from the bottom of the, well, sorry, the roof of the vehicle, the lowest point would be your U-bolt and your right at three inches.
Highest point right there is right at five and 1/2. The style of clamp that you're gonna have here, it's gonna work with just about any type of bar. This is that elliptical style from Yakima. It's the Yakima core bar. And this will work with square, round, just about or factory OEM bars.
On the front of our basket, we have a front wing that's gonna help reduce wind noise. If you we're looking for something that's gonna enclose everything on top of your vehicle, a rooftop cargo box may be a good option. Alternatively, if you think a basket would fit better, it would be a great idea to add a weather-resistant bag to help keep everything protected, or at least a net to keep everything secured. Overall, this is a really solid option for someone that needs a entry-level type of basket that they're not gonna put to a lot of consistent use. It's very durable and it's made from nice solid steel and you can also add an extension to it.
I just recently was speaking with one of our neighbors and they we're telling me about how they like the value of it for the cost, and it's just been in my experience that Curt usually makes really solid products. So again, this is Ed here with etrailer.com and we've just taken a look at the Curt rooftop basket on our 2022 Kia Sorento.

The product is great, but I have removed it for now because when its mounted on the car it reduces my gas mileage 7-8 miles per gallon. I was shocked at how much of impact it made. Im now able to get 100 miles further on a tank of gas. Thats a big deal when Im paying California gas prices.

Still going strong 2 years on. Scout camp, campouts, long-hauls for Christmas, you name it. This rack is still in great shape.

This thing works like a boss. I tie all sorts of crap to it and go flying down the road. Still worth every penny.

Thanks for feedback-Are the top bars 1 and round? If so, that would be perfect for my existing Yakima canoe rack!-put in gear then put canoe atop-rain protection and uh, have a canoe too. BTW-you are perhaps the only person on earth to have transported a chainsaw in a BMW!
