This sturdy cargo basket lets you transport gear on your vehicle's roof. The tubular steel basket has a built-in fairing to reduce drag and wind noise. Universal mounting hardware fits most crossbar spreads and configurations.

Specs:
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 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.
The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.
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.
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.
To increase the basket's cargo carrying capacity, install the Thule Canyon XT basket extension (TH8591XT - sold separately). This 20" extension allows you to carry extra-long gear on your vehicle's roof.

Easily assembled in about 20 minutes. Sturdy construction and should last a lifetime. Lillian W. was very helpful and courteous through the process.
Product arrived super quick and was very easy to install.
Excellent quality and looks great!
Takes a little time to assemble and install but the end product is worth it. Now i am worthy to go camping and carry all my stuff with me!
Love this basket. Sturdy, easy to install, super functional. Would never have another car without it.
All items were delivered quickly and as ordered. I would definitely order from etrailer again.
Excellente product, utilized to travel on a Chevy Taho. Great capacity, easy to assemble and installation. Practical no noise during travel.
As advertised, fast shipping, easy to install, quality product.
This was so easy to put together. It fits great on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. I plan on loading all the camping gear in it when we go on vacation. The folks at ETrailer.com have been great inn keeping me up to date on the status of my order.
Use this for camping and going to the beach. Works perfectly and holds a lot more than the fancy luggage carriers and costs a lot less. Just buy a waterproof zip up cargo carrier to put everything in and strap it down.
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.
Joy T was amazing to work with and extremely helpful with my order It’s nice actually being able to talk to an American! Product arrived on time and install was a breeze and looks great! Can’t wait to use it! Thank you etrailer for putting your customers first!
a beautiful addition to a beautiful car, "naked" roof rails (glass roof with no rails present). basket, both e-trailer supplied and a Yakima tire mount with locked large turnbuckle makes a perfect urban road runner MadMAX badboy
I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.
We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.

Still in great shape. No rust. No rattles. Great cargo rack
Ordered the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket from etrailer. It came within days of oredering and is as advertised. Ordering from etrailer was an excellent experience. They followed kept me informed of the status as we went along and sent me warranty information after receipt George and Carol were great to work with. PS - the installation was a breeze and we used it to haul roof top items on our camping trip last weekend. Thank You - I will certainly not hesitate to order from etrailer again!!
Basket attaches with a small flimsy plastic piece. Poor design choice and I don’t trust it. It should have a proper metal bracket for a solid connection to the roof like any other roof accessory that I have seen. Not safe and I’ll likely get rid of this. $5[XXX] waste
The Canyon XT installed with ease & also provides multiple mounting brackets for attaching to crossbars.
It will definitely give us more interior room or additional cargo capacity!
I highly suggest reading the directions a few times before you start & during assembly. Some parts are in the same bag for a step while other steps need parts from different bags.
Depending on your vehicle, all parts may not be used. So make sure the parts you have left over are the right ones!
Received and installed just in time for a family trip to a cabin. This rack was perfect for storing coolers and bags to free up space in the back of the car. The only difficult step in the installation was getting it as close to centered as possible on the roof rails.
Love my new Thule canyon xt roof cargo basket!! Fits on my 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade, it was easy to assemble!! Shipping was awesome came in quicker then I expected!!
Very happy with product and time frame of delivery and the tracking info is always a great asset. Easy to assemble. My only problem was i needed help getting in on the roof of the truck. Also liked the how to and information about the product videos . Thank you . Next item is the cargo bag. :)

I think some spike lug nuts would make a nice touch.
