Cargo Basket and 20 Cubic Foot Bag for a 2006 Chrysler town and Country with Factory Roof Rack
Question:
I have a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country with factory side rails and cross bars. I would like to accommodate 20+ cu ft roof top storage bag with the appropriate large carrier. What would you recommend?

The only roof bag that has over 20 cubic feet of capacity is Rhino-Rack cargo bag # RRLBXL at 21.2 cubic feet. This is a huge bag at 71 inches long, 43 inches wide, and 12 inches tall so it requires a basket that is at least that size to be able to support the bag.
For that you will need the Thule Canyon XT, # TH859XT and the extension, # TH8591XT, for a total length of 69 inches which will support the bag well. I have linked review videos of the basket and bag for you.
Check the roof rack or owner's manual for the roof rack capacity prior to loading. I also recommend a tire step, # ALL647596, which makes accessing the roof safer than standing in an open vehicle door way. I have linked a video of this step as well.
