Rhino Rack Roof Basket Review - 2021 Toyota 4Runner

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack rooftop cargo basket, here on our 2021 Toyota 4Runner. Now a cargo basket is really nice. It's gonna allow you to carry a variety of different items on your roof. Unlike a cargo box, which is enclosed, you can fit some of your more oversized items in here that might otherwise be too tall or too wide for a box. You don't have that same sort of height restriction.



Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2021 Toyota 4Runner

Hey, everybody, I'm Bobby. And today at etrailer.com, we're taking a look at our Yakima OffGrid Cargo Basket on our 2021 Toyota 4Runner. The thing to keep in mind with the 4Runner here, as you can see, these raised rails are actually pretty backset on the vehicle, The thing to keep in mind, especially you're adding that extension onto the cargo room roof rack as well, is that this door does swing up a little bit here, so be mindful of the space. If I do a quick measurement here, looks like about 17 inches or so to the back of that cargo basket. That can get a little troublesome especially you add any long items, so just keep that in mind. And right away, as you can see here, this cargo basket is gonna give us a lot of room.

What our customers are saying:

"I received my cargo carrier today. I ordered the 52018 and I just put it together and put it on my 1996 Land Rover Discovery. I must say, the fit and finish is AWESOME! I slid it into the trailer hitch receiver and then stood on the center beam and the carrier acted as if I weren't there. I can now take my family of five to Florida in our new Land Rover and carry all of our luggage and SCUBA gear. Thanks for the great product at a great price and with great service."
