I have had this rack on my Ford Excursion for a full year now. I go whitewater kayaking about every weekend and they fit in the rack very nicely. I bought a 4'x8' sheet of expanded steel mesh for a floor, cut it to length, painted it with truck bed liner, and fastened it to the cross bars with sheet metal screws so I wouldn't have to worry about balancing on the cross bars while loading and tying down gear. This summer we went to from TN to CO with 3 boats stuffed full of gear on top, and it handled them with ease. Get the folding ladder to make loading and unloading a breeze!

I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…

The rack and extension arrived in sturdy boxes, well packed and no damage in shipping. The parts fit together easily. The welds left something to be desired, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. As a precaution against corrosion,I got some plasti-dip, which is a rubberized vinyl sealant and sealed all the places where moisture could get into the various tubes of the rack. I was satisfied with the quality of the powder coating on all the parts. The mounting system to the roof rack is interesting and appears well-designed. The assembly and installation instructions are OK, but could have been written better. For example, there is an extra tightening knob for the U-bolts, but no description if it is there as a spare.

Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.

Love it! It's big enough to fit a bike carrier and a cargo bag on top of my MINI. Easy to assemble and install, solid construction. Great value for your money. If I have a gripe it's that the wind fairing on the front is VERY thin/fragile. I caught it with my bike tire when loading one day and the corner snapped right off like nothing. It's only about $XXX for the replacement.

I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.

The reason I bought this basket is due to gas prices. I have a 4X4 suburban I use for camping and hunting but it takes a small loan to fill up the tank. Actually this basket cost less than it does to fill it up. So my thought was if i can get all my gear on my daily driver then i could save some money and maybe even sale the burb. So i gave it a shot last weekend. The rack was easy to put together. I had it out of the box and on the roof in under 30 minutes. As you can see in the pic, i have a rather large ice chest, chain saw, 6 man tent, gas stove and my chair on the roof. My camping destination was about 3 hours away. First was a hour of highway driving at speeds around 70. No issues there. Then 2 hours of windy back roads. No issues there either. The basket made it possible for me and my two kids to load up in the car and head to the hills for three days. The plus for me was it only takes 50$ to fill up the car. :-) I had the max weight in this basket with no issues. I'm very happy with this basket.

I think regarding functionality; this is a great cargo basket but one of the buffers that connects to the basket to the car roof rack snapped off on its first use. I can still use it but it is now a separate piece from the unit. I bought the locking set with it; no problems thus far. Would still continue to use despite that one flaw. It appears to slightly flimsy but the rack is still great to use.

The Yakima OffGrid medium rack arrived yesterday at about 10:30 a.m. It was fully unpacked/assembled/installed by about 11:45. etrailer did a fine job of communicating/pricing/delivering and supporting this good product. I've been using Yakima products (and others) for biking, paddling, fishing etc. for about 45 years. This rack is a serious solution to a variety of uses of a roof rack. I will be able to use it on various vehicles and for a number of applications (sports, chores,travel etc.) It has more flexibility than most racks and I can't imagine a more durable, quality design. My particular needs, being in my "Dotage", are met by the ability to remove the cross bars and fairing for an open platform, or keep them on and custom fit to a spare tire, or bike rack, kayak rack etc. The attaching mechanisms drew my attention. I put this on the car with solo and with caution using a protective mat. It is very manageable and easy to fit. These mechanisms for tightening down on the crossbars bring the added value (and cost) to folks like me that don't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing a rooftop rack. I wanted secure, solid attachment with simplicity. The OffGrid delivers! No pain killers needed after the install! This "Medium" OffGrid is more than adequate for my initial uses. The internal and external dimensions are pretty much ideal for this 2017 Sienna. A full size spare tire will fit just right. A nice fit for a canoe as well. I admit to scouring the internet and considering dozens of products from baskets to platforms and this OffGrid showed a lot of promise. Its versatility and ruggedness competes with the best designs at about half the price of many. My thoughts included the extension bracket, but the medium OffGrid really does meet most of my expectations and needs for various applications. Now, to the matter of noise. There is wind noise. However, for me, it simply blends into the symphony of white noise that comes with highway travel (and the ringing in my ears) :)......Of all the racks, bikes, canoes,kayaks ladders, lumber, etc., etc. that I have carried on car tops, the wind sounds of this carrier are negligible. The fairing is a nice, well thought out feature that works well. So, my five star rating is for both the product and the vendor. Once again "eTrailer" has proven themselves to be one of the best sources of such products nationwide. Their product information efforts are an industry leader and they deserve credit for providing extremely helpful product reviews and explanations. That's what got me to choose them on this purchase. Those of us well into our "Dotage" appreciate learning all we can!

I’ve got several 1400+ mile trips with this on both a 2017 4Runner and a 2023 Kia Sportage. The basket is well made, easy to install, very solid and so far rust free.

Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima Off-Grid Rooftop Cargo Box. How it fits on a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban. Might be a really good option for you if you have some larger items that don't fit horizontally, maybe they're just really tall, maybe they're wet, sandy, muddy, snowy for whatever reason you don't want them in the interior of your vehicle, this is a great option for you to get 'em on the roof.

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2019 Chevrolet Suburban
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima OffGrid roof cargo basket on our 2019 Chevrolet Suburban. So, we do have the smaller cargo basket up top, but Yakima does make another OffGrid roof basket that is going to be 62 inches long, but all the same measurements everywhere else. So, this OffGrid is going to be 44 inches long by 40 inches wide and seven inches tall.What sets this cargo basket apart from the others is going to be, we do have some nice bars inside our cargo basket, and that's going to be used for two different things. Some customers use it just to divide their bulky items, just to kind of get it a little bit more organized.
MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Review - 2019 Chevrolet Suburban
Adam: Hi, everyone, Adam, with etrailer.com today, we're going to be taking a look at the MaxxTow MaxxHaul roof cargo basket on our 2019 Chevrolet Suburban. So the usable space on this cargo basket is going to be 38 and a half inches by 34 and a half inches. And these walls are going to sit up about three and a quarter inches. So this is going to have a steel tubular design with a nice powder-coated finish. So it's going to look good for a while and it's going to resist against rust and corrosion, and that steel does give it that 150 pound weight capacity, but always check your owner's manual to make sure that your vehicle can handle that weight on the roof. It also does come with a front fairing here, which is going to help direct that wind over your cargo, cutting down on some of that drag that you get at high speeds and just making it a lot quieter.So the mounting hardware for this cargo basket does think about your rails and your cargo.
Chevrolet Suburban Cargo Carriers Questions
- We do have a large selection of roof cargo baskets that will work great with the factory roof rack on your 2018 Chevy Suburban.
A lot of what goes into selecting the right roof basket for you will depend on exactly what and how much of it you are intending to load into the unit. With that being said I really like the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. This is a really sturdy basket that features a couple of sleek design choices that contribute both to its function...
view full answer... - It sounds like you are asking if the Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket, part # TH859XT, will work with a Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack.
I am happy to inform you that these will work. For your 2017 Chevrolet Suburban, the Vortex bars are part # RRVA150S-2, the legs are the RCH Legs, part # RRRCH4, and the fit kit is part # RRRCP43-BK.
This roof rack system is perfectly compatible with the Thule Cargo Basket. I've linked to video reviews of both for you to look at.
view full answer... - The inside width of the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07014 is 21". Therefore, it could be used to secure the boogie boards.
view full answer... - Hey Michael. so the Surco Safari Cargo Basket # S5072 can be used on the roof of your 2015 Chevy Suburban that has factory crossbars but not to them directly. The only way is to use the square bar adapter part # SPT400 and then install the Inno square bar roof rack # INB137, # INXP, # INTR154. I wish there was a simple way to attach it to your factory rack but that's not how the rack works unfortunately.
view full answer... - The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS5084-1101 that you referenced actually was designed to attach to the raised rails of vehicles like what you have on your 2014 Chevy Suburban so it would fit and work great.
view full answer... - I checked with Yakima and the MegaWarrior with extension # Y07080-82 does fit your 2013 Chevy Suburban with factory crossbars that run side to side.
If your Suburban has side rails that run front to back then you could use Safari rack # SPS5084-1101 which is 84 inches long and 5 inches wide. Surco currently only shows up to 2012 Suburbans but 2012 and 2013 are part of the same generation so the side rails should be the same.
view full answer... - The Surco Safari Rack, part # SPS5084-1101, will fit on your roof rack. This basket measures 84 in long by 50 in wide by 5 in deep, is made of sturdy aluminum, and weighs approximately 40 lbs. This basket comes with the adapters that clamp around the factory raised rails.
I also recommend a tire step like part # PT68ZR. This easily slips over the wheel of your vehicle and allows you to reach the cargo on your roof. It also folds flat for easy storage.
view full answer... - Heavier duty vehicles do tend to tow a bit easier with fewer issues than lighter duty vehicles like what you have found. In some cases the heavier duty vehicle's stiffer suspension can compensate for improper loading that can cause sway so one thing you can try that is free is moving any cargo weight in your travel trailer as far forward as possible to increase tongue weight as that's the most common cause of trailer sway. Another thing that could be at play is that your tow vehicles...
view full answer... - The Curt roof cargo basket part # C18115-117 does require crossbars so for your 2008 Chevy Suburban you'd need to install a set like with the Inno square bar rack part numbers # INB137 and # INFR which is confirmed as a fit for your factory raised rails.
view full answer... - While we don't have the exact specs of the height and width of your 2008 Chevy Suburban, the Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide x 7" Deep # 288-09200 can fit pretty large crossbars. However, in order to confirm for sure, I recommend measuring your factory crossbars. If you crossbars do not exceed 2" tall x 4-3/4" wide, the # 288-09200 definitely fits.
As far as the mounting brackets, the basket comes with a plastic spacer on the top side to serve as an...
view full answer... - The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Cargo Basket # SPS5084-1101 is the largest basket we have at this time. It's 84 inches long and 50 inches wide.
The unique thing about this basket is it fits onto raised side rails like on your 2008 Chevrolet Suburban so you won't need any additional parts.
view full answer... - I checked with Surco and they list Safari Rack # SPS5084-1101 as the proper fit for your 2007 Chevy Suburban. This version comes with adapters to attach the basket to the factory side rails on your Suburban. Side rails run front to back. The basket does not attach to crossbars that run side to side.
As for the different sizes available with the correct adapters the 50 inch width will be needed for a proper fit but there is # SPS5060-1101 at 60 inches long.
Another option...
view full answer... - For the largest roof cargo basket that is designed to fit raised factory rails on your 2005 Chevy Suburban, I recommend the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails - 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-1101. The Surco Safari comes with a 250 pound maximum weight capacity and comes with the ability to add a ground kit # SP1114 for additional surface area. If you need straps for your cargo, I recommend the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors - 1"...
view full answer... - Surco recommends the 50 inch by 84 inch Safari basket with adapter for factory side rails # SPS5084-1101 for your 2003 Chevy Suburban. You can use a shorter length such as # SPS5060-1101 as long as the width is 50 inches.
There are various accessories for these baskets. For a light mounting bracket use # SPLT100 (for 1 light; light not included). For an ax or shovel carrier use # SPAX100. For a hi-lift jack carrier use # SP1108. And for a spare tire carrier use # SPST100.
view full answer... - I checked with Surco and for your 2001 Chevy Suburban with raised roof rails the # SPS5084 is a fit and the correct floor kit for this carrier is part # SP1114 that you mentioned.
view full answer... - The Yakima Locking Mount Brackets with SKS Cores # Y07064 is not a universal-fit item but is designed specifically for Yakima's LoadWarrior and MegaWarrior cargo baskets.
Instead, you need the Thule lock, # TH450400 designed specifically for the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT. It will secure a cover over the hardware that secures the basket to the crossbars so the basket cannot be removed.
view full answer... - The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138-08 can have floodlights connected directly to the basket. The method of installation is key to the warranty. If you utilize mounts that connect to the bars you will not void any warranty, but if there is drilling or altering the basket in any way, then the warranty would be void.
For example, you may want to use brackets like the Yakima SnapAround Mounting Brackets # Y8810135.
view full answer... - On the Curt roof mount cargo basket # C18115 you could use 2 extensions, # C18117. This would make the basket 83-1/2 inches long. Because of the length I strongly reocmmend adding a third roof rack bar for extra support. Even if you used some foam blocks or something similar, extra support is likely going to be needed.

What our customers are saying:
"this is great. my power scooter fits right on and it has freed me up to be able to go places by myself. I just put the scooter up the ramp, strap it in place, and I am off to the store! This was hassle free shopping and it was delivered in a timely manner. My husband a few bolts and I was good to go. Thanks a million and I will be sending my friends your way."
