Today on our 2012 Kia Sorrento well be test fitting the Surco 24 inch by 60 inch cargo
carrier for two inch hitches, part number 52018. To mount our carrier to the vehicle
well insert the shank of the carrier into the receiver tube of the hitch. Well line
up our hitch pin hole and then secure the carrier with a standard 5/8 inch pin and clip.
Now well go over a handful of clearance measurements. Weve got about 9 inches of ground clearance
at the rear of the carrier. Theres about 1 inches of clearance between the closest part
of the bumper and the closest part of the carrier.
Overall weve added about 27 inches of length tot eh rear of the vehicle. Weve got about
9 inches of space between the tail pipe and the closest part of our carrier so heat transfer
may be an issue. Just keep this in mind when loading your cargo carrier. The cargo door
breaks over our carrier at about the 18 inch mark. Thats it for our test fit of the Surco
24 by 60 cargo carrier, part number 52018, on a 2012 Kia Sorrento..
