Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2015 Kia Sorento

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we'll be taking a look at the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Cargo basket here on our 2015 Kia Sorento. So you have your Sorento and you're ready for adventure, but what if you need to carry around a bunch of different accessories, not just cargo As helpful as a cargo basket is, sometimes it takes up all of your roof, but not the Yakima SkinnyWarrior. This is what you would go with if you also wanna carry around a bike rack or a kayak or even a rooftop cargo box. This doesn't take up much room on your roof rack, giving you extra space for those extra things. Now, a basket is more low-profile than a rooftop cargo box, especially when there's no cargo in it. So taking some measurements here, I'm gonna measure from our roof to the top of the basket, it is 10 3/4 inches.
