The Thule Canyon XT cargo basket allows you to easily transport a wide range of gear on your vehicle's roof. It maximizes your vehicle's cargo carrying capacity and keeps dirty and damp gear outside of the vehicle. A built-in fairing reduces drag and wind noise, and the mounting hardware is adjustable to accommodate different crossbar spreads. The included 20" extension piece allows you to adjust the basket length as needed.


Aerodynamic, Low-Profile Design

Thule Canyon with Extension and Fairing

The low-profile Canyon XT is wedge-shaped and aerodynamic. A wind fairing attaches to the front of the basket to help redirect air up and over the basket. This helps to reduce drag and wind noise. And the side walls are tapered for easy loading.


Easy Installation

Installed Thule Canyon with Extension

The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.


Adjustable Mounting Hardware

You can position the hardware anywhere along the bottom of the basket to match your crossbar spread. The hardware easily clamps to basket's bottom rails.


U-Bolts & Hand KnobsInstalled U-Bolts

To install the basket, simply align the included U-bolts under your crossbars and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware. The system includes 3 sets of U-bolts to accommodate most crossbar sizes.


You can also mount the basket directly into your crossbar's top channels using the included T-bolts. Just slide the T-bolts into the crossbar top channels and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware.


Removable Extension

Thule Canyon Basket with Extension

This basket comes with an extension that allows you to customize the length of the basket depending on your needs.


Thule Canyon Basket with Extension

You can bolt all 3 pieces together to create a long basket to carry kayak paddles and other long cargo. To install the extension, loosen the bolts on the bottom of the basket with the included Allen wrench and remove the front of the basket. Slide the ends of the extension into the bars of the basket and re-secure the front of the basket to the extension.


Thule Canyon Basket without Extension

Or simply bolt the front and rear pieces together leaving out the 20" extension to create a standard size basket for bags, camping gear, and other compact cargo.

  • Using Kayak Carrier Along With Thule Canyopn Rooftop cargo Basket TH859XT
    Thule does not offer any kayak carrier accessory that can be fitted to their Canyon rooftop cargo basket # TH859XT. I called my most well-seasoned Thule contact and she confirmed no such product is on the drawing board for the future. In truth, even if such an item was available, it might not be your best option. Since kayak weights vary from the low 30s for smaller sit-on types up to the 140s for well-equipped fishing kayaks the vehicle roof capacity can come into play. The Canyon basket...

  • Will the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket Fit My Factory Crossbars on My 2017 Mazda CX-5?
    Yes, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT will fit the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mazda CX-5. In addition, your vehicle will also be able to fit the Thule Canyon XT with the 20-inch extension piece. For the basket with the expansion piece, I recommend the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT-8591XT.

  • Quiet Roof Rack for 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend Edition
    Hey Chester! Have you tried the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack with JetStream Crossbars # Y42GD yet? When it comes to noise reduction these are as good as it gets. There will always be some level of noise with the addition of a roof rack but these keep it to a minimum. If you want to add locks you will also need the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204. The rack is pretty easy to install so if you still think it is too much you can always take it off when you don't need it. Another...

  • Is there a Front Hitch for the 2021 Grand Cherokee? How Can I Transport My Luggage?
    Hello Keith, I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately, there isn’t a front hitch available for the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. To help transport your luggage, have you considered a roof rack system? I’ve attached a picture showing the different roof styles for reference. If your vehicle has a naked roof, the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # TH29FA would be the right fit. For flush-mounted rails, you would also use # TH36TG. From there, you...

  • Can Thule Canyon Roof Cargo Basket Fit 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    I checked with Thule and the Canyon Cargo Basket part # TH859XT-8591XT that you referenced can fit your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL but you'll have to have the Thule roof rack part numbers # TH712500 and # TH65BJ installed to give the basket something to attach to.

  • Can Fairing on Thule MOAB Cargo Basket Be Replaced
    The Thule MOAB was discontinued back in 2014 and while some parts are still available for replacement, unfortunately the fairing is not one of those parts. We carry a variety of fairings you can add to a roof rack system but they won't fit directly to the basket. If you really like the design of the MOAB then I recommend checking out the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT as an alternative to replace your current roof basket. The Canyon XT is also available in a larger version as part # TH859XT-8591XT...

  • Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with Thule XT Roof Cargo Basket
    The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT can use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...

  • Thule Roof Basket And Cargo Bag For 2024 Subaru Outback XT
    Hello Lynette, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to outfit your 2024 Subaru Outback XT with a Thule roof basket and cargo bag. The best way to do this while keeping everything up off the sunroof is to install a roof rack with crossbars, like the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack # TH54GG. This will attach to the factory rails on your Subaru, and it gives you two 43" long aero crossbars for attaching a cargo basket. For a Thule basket you can then use the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT...

  • Largest Cargo Basket to go on The Roof of a 2007 Honda Element
    Thanks for your question, Daniel! After doing some research on your Element, your crossbar spread is 30". Most baskets are adjustable and have a range of spreads like part # Y07080 can fit on crossbar spreads between 30" - 38" and is 52" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall. The biggest basket we have that can mount on the 30" crossbar spread is part # TH859XT-8591XT which is 69" long x 40" wide x 6" tall with the extension it comes with and will work with your spread with or without the extension....

  • Recommended Crossbars For RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover On 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed
    For the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-80481 on your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 I recommend adding the Thule crossbars. For this you will need the Bars # TH713700, Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT3101. This will allow you to use the Thule ProRide Bike Rack # TH598004 or Thule Canyon Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT mounted in the channels on the crossbars. I prefer the ProRide as it clamps to the bikes frame and does not require removal of the front wheel. The Canyon cargo basket is 40"...

  • How Do You Transport a Spare Tire on the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket?
    If you plan to mount a tire on your Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT or the TH859XT-8591XT, it is safer to put the tire on its side in the basket (as opposed to being right-side-up with the tire treads meeting the bottom of the basket). If you need attachment straps to keep your spare tire secure on the Canyon XT, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # EM34409.

  • Net for Thule TH859XT-8591XT Canyon XT with the Extension
    The Curt Stretchable Cargo Net, part # C18201 with an unstretched dimension of 38 x 65 would fit the 69 x 40 Thule # TH859XT-8591XT Canyon Cargo Basket with Extension absolutely perfectly. I've linked to a product video featuring the Thule Canyon XT cargo basket.

  • Will Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack Fit on 2003 Subaru Forester X with Rola Roof Cargo Basket
    Yes, the 46" Long Inno Square Crossbars # INB117 are compatible with both your Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT and your 2003 Subaru Forester X. Since your Forester has the flush mounted rails you need the Inno Feet # INTR and the Fit Kit # INTR104 to utilize the square crossbars. I have attached a photo of this same kit along with the 31" Inno Fairing for Roof Racks # INA260 on a 2008 Subaru Forester a customer sent in that you can check out.

  • Can I Use the Gladiator Utility Cargo Nets for My Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket?
    Yes! You can definitely use the Gladiator Utility Cargo Nets for your Thule Canyon XT baskets whether you have the # TH859XT or the larger # TH859XT-8591XT. For proper sizing, I reached out to my tech at Gladiator, and he said that if you plan on not using a lot of cargo with the smaller # TH859XT, the correct net size you need is the # GC77FR. Although, for the larger # TH859XT-8591XT or if you are planning to carry tall cargo on the # TH859XT, I recommend going with the larger 4' 9"...

  • Is Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket a Quieter Option For Roof Basket
    While there is always going to be some noise with a rooftop basket as you know, a quieter option is indeed the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT-8591XT. The reason for that is its more aerodynamic front than other baskets. Most - including your 14'er - have a more vertical front end, so even with a wind fairing attached, there is going to be more noise. The Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT has a more sloped, aero-shaped front end than other baskets, so even...

  • Cargo Net Recommendation for Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket

  • Comparing the Yakima LoadWarrior and Thule Canyon XT Roof Baskets for a 2017 Toyota 4Runner
    The real difference in which to get between the Yakima LoadWarrior with Extension, part # Y07070-74 and the Thule Canyon XT, part # TH859XT-8591XT will be between what kind of load bars you have equipped to the 2017 Toyota 4Runner and how its planned to be used. Additionally, if you have any other Thule or Yakima accessories should be a part of the decision. If you have Yakima's round bars or the 4 Runner factory bars, the LoadWarrior will be easier to install onto these and the LoadWarrior...

  • How is the Thule Canyon XT Measured
    The 49" length of the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT is measured as the overall length of the cargo basket. The front edge of the basket where the fairing sits does tilt inward and limit what you can put in that space, but not as much as you'd think. The fairing on the Canyon is roughly 5" tall, and you'll have roughly the front 4" long by 3" tall of the basket with the fairing hanging over. You can also get the longer Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT to give yourself 20" extra length on your...

  • Cargo Net and Tie Down Straps for Securing Cargo in Thule Rooftop Cargo basket # TH859XT-8591XT
    The Thule rooftop cargo basket # TH859XT-8591XT can use Cargo Net # CS54FR but please do keep in mind that the size and shape of the loaded items can affect your best choice of net or tie-down straps. It really comes down to the specific size, shape and weight of the items you'll place in the basket. You may prefer to use some tie-down straps like 4-piece set # ETBMB-05852 or # EM34420 if the items are large enough to catch a lot of wind. At highway speeds solidly securing the items is...

  • Can Awning be Installed on Thule Canyon Roof Basket
    We have some awnings that can mount to crossbars and wraparound the back of the vehicle, like the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning # RR33100, but none of the awnings that I have seen will attached to the smaller bars that you have on the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT. If you can let me know what crossbar system you have I can recommend a specific awning. The Batwing that I mentioned above is a great option if your crossbars have the T-Slot on the top.

  • What are the Useable Interior Dimensions for the Thule Canyon Roof Mount Cargo Basket
    I went out to our demo area and measured the interior of the Thule Canyon XT roof basket # TH859XT. The interior, bottom of the carrier is approximately 39 inches long by 36 inches wide. But the model that has the extension, # TH859XT-8591XT, would work well since it is longer by 20 inches. I have included a link to a video review of this model for you.
