Expert Reply:

The etrailer.com Extra Large Cargo Carrier Bag, # 988501, is designed for use on a hitch mounted carrier and is not rated or designed for use on top of a vehicle.

The roof top cargo bag that is most like the etrailer bag is the GearCage Cargo Carrier and Roof Mount, # 5801000. This bag is designed to fit in the GearCage cargo carrier, but it is also rated for use on a vehicle roof like your Chevy Suburban.

To use any roof bag, you will at least need side rails that run front to back. It is best to have cross bars that run side to side so the bag will not slide forward or backward while traveling.
