Question:

Hi. I bought Thule Canyon XT cargo rack last year from you guys. Finally taking cross country trip and wondering if you can give advice regarding best way to load up gear and bags on this rack. Heaviest stuff up front..middle or sides. Vertical? Horizontally? Thx

When you're loading a cargo basket like the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT you want to keep the weight evenly distributed. Start by loading the heaviest items in the middle and then load the rest around those items to keep it balanced. It doesn't have to be perfect, just get it as close as you can.
