Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs

by: Wendell05/14/2014

Product seems to be well put together. However, there were a lot of extra screws that didn't seem to have a place to go and were not on the parts list. Also, a little larger drawing on the assembly sheet would help also. I had parts that were not on the assembly sheet but I was finally able to determine where they went (clips that held the name plate on). Also even though I had plenty of extra screws in varying lengths I seemed to be short a couple of lock washers and nuts. These are items that can be easily bought locally, it's just an extra trip to the hardware store. Otherwise, a good product and I would recommend it to others. 130581

Excellent roof storage solution, always check roof loading specs of your particular vehicle and roof racks cross bars which ARE REQUIRED to install the cargo basket. Assembly may require some "elbow grease" but ensures a quality end product. I did experience a decrease by about 5 mpg in my fuel efficiency on the highway, BUT, my roof rack cross bars are about 5 or 6 inches off the roof. Fuel efficiency would increase the lower the Cross bars top surface are to the vehicles roof surface in turn bring the cargo baskets final mounted position more flush with the vehicle. 391910

It's what I expected well built good looking. Only thing wrong is a clamp for the wind shield was the wrong size received four small and two large should be three of each. Happy and all is good.Thank you Mark. 130901

Very impressive for the money. I compared the fit, finish and metal quality with products at twice the price; this product was much better product for the price and quality alone. 237688

I am a new customer and must say that I will continue to be one. etrailer's ease of website ordering, fast turnaround, courteous emails and excellent order tracking made for a fantastic experience. The Curt Cargo basket is well made and easy to assemble. Compared to the price of other baskets, this one is a great deal! Thanks etrailer. I look forward to purchasing from you in the future. 47795

Basket on my 2011 Ford Ranger with Yakima roof rails. 54281

The truck in this photos did have the half-door that opens. If you have the extended cab that does not have the rear doors, then a Q Stretch Kit can be added to the rest of the kit to achieve the proper bar spread and add move the rear anchor port forward to the door. Check the link below to the roof rack fits for a 2011 Ranger.

Product recieved as stated. Mounted on 2009 Mini Cooper Clubman with Mini base system. Very satisfied with this basket. Looks real good on car. A little noise traveling on a windy day but nothing that is all that bothersome. 125584

Its still a bad ass roof rack for the price. I beat the crap out of it and it does fine. No damaged parts or dents yet! One year strong and no problems .at all.

Basket works great on my old Accord. The air dam on the front looks funny but really helps cut down on the wind noise. Seems strong enough to hold my rear and the price was decent. Not a bad buy at all 310513

This thing works like a boss. I tie all sorts of crap to it and go flying down the road. Still worth every penny.

I ordered a Thule roof rack fit kit, Aeroblade along w/ a Curt roof rack for my 2005 Ford Focus. We were a family of 5; and now we are 4, we had always traveled in our larger Toyota 4-Runner, which had enough room for everyone and their luggage. Now that we sold the 4-Runner and have only the smaller gas saver, it presented a problem for travel. I ordered the roof rack for our trip to Gatlinburg, TN. It worked fantastic. The shipping was fast and made it to us in time for us to install it. We were able to install it in about 20 minutes after watching the installation videos on etrailer.com. It was able to accommodate all 4 of our large suitcases and freed up leg room to provide a more comfortable trip. The Aeroblades were very quite. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this to anyone who asks. 333720

Fast delivery, at a good price. As you can see in the photos the rack fits like it was make for the Jeep Liberty. 54316

Yakima makes light brackets that will attach to their baskets and allow you to add lights. The brackets are sold in pairs as part Y07075. With those brackets you can mount off-road lights of your choice. I have added some links to off-road and driving lights. State laws can vary on the use of these lights and covering them when on public roadways, so be sure to check that before using the lights.

I would not do more than one layer of boxes. Without the siderails of the basket, it would be very easy for boxes to shift. Height and wind would certainly become an issue then as well. You may be better off looking at a hitch mounted cargo carrier if you need to move a lot of boxes or even a small trailer depending on how much you need to move.

The Curt cargo basket seem , good , for the price . Easy to put together all hardware seems good . Only concern is the threaded clamps seems a bit weak and not rust proof . Wish they had an option to purchase better quality clamps . 170727

Just wanted to provide some feedback on the installation of the Rhino rack rack and the Curt basket for my 2013 honda fit. 1) the roof rack went together easily- clear instructions, all the correct parts etc. All Good 2) the basket is another story. Poor instructions at best! Poor hardware! 3) Roof rack spacing instructions tell you to place the bars 16.92" apart ( 700mm-270mm=430mm ) For the basket clamps to line up with the rack bars, the rear bar needs to move approximately 2" in order for the clamps to seat correctly on the rack bars. Basket instructions indicate the centers of the clamps must be 15, 22, or 29 inches apart for correct alignment. I realize that the basket is a universal design, but the hardware just sucks! It would be nice if your company offered a mounting kit for this that worked better. Great service fast delivery all in all. 508624

Overall quality is nice and very sturdy even when loaded and on the trails. Inexpensive way to transform the look of your vehicle while adding extra and/or muddy storage convenience. Minor wind noise running 70 on the interstate but expected that prior to purchase. 236214

Thule aeroblade w/ Curt rack. Used this Christmas for a family trip to Gatlinburg, TN and through the Smokey Mountains. It worked great to get all our gear there and back! Thanks for getting it to us on time. 410432

What etrailer does is make it as easy as possible to do it yourself. Between the written instructions and the videos on how to install you are covered. Remember that you do have to have tools and it is not always as easy as it shows on the video. There recommendations are spot on and their individual responses to questions are good. They could improve on several areas. Most people do not have the flexible sewing like tape measure. For putting on roof racks it is essential. Also you will need to lube the bolts for the roof racks or they will seize up while putting on the lock nuts. The packaging for the trailer hitches is sub par. One hitch arrived damaged and the next one also was sticking through the box but mostly undamaged. I imagine it is to keep the shipping costs down. Customer service has also been good. I Ordered a hitch, roof rack and basket and am satisfied. 336843

Thank you etrailer my car looks great I spent 4 hours to ensemble this cross bar and the bask rack but finally I made it now I have more cargo space in my car I really recommend etrailer good quality items and good service thanks again 512687

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. 86978

Jamie, thanks for replying to David's question. David, this Curt Cargo Carrier works on most aftermarket roof racks, and fits crossbars up to 3 inches wide, and 1-5/8 inches tall. This should work well on your existing Yakima roof rack. The top bars on this Curt cargo basket are indeed round, and are a little smaller than 1 inch. I measured one from our warehouse, and it was 0.88 of an inch which is about 7/8 of an inch.

The Curt roof basket is very sturdy and looks good on my 2015 Honda CRV. I chose the smaller basket which has about 10.6 square feet. It secures everything that I need to put in it and I like the higher sides. It took about an hour to assemble. Attaching it to my roof crossbars was puzzling at first but after consulting an etrailer expert the rest went well. I wish both roof crossbars on my Honda Fit inside the bottom of the roof basket. Thanks to expert advice I was able to figure out how attach it to my crossbars and it is very secure. The basket is going to free up a lot of interior cargo space. 540446

Product is fine however the UPS shipping was not great. Paid for 3 day shipping but it took 8 days to receive. Not good service in my opinion. 540043

I haven't used this yet, but I assembled it and installed it. It appears to be fairly sturdy, and the mounts don't look like they will do any major damage. One thing I am not too happy about are the nuts that clamp the "U" Bolts to the crossbars. The "U" Bolts have a great deal of very fine thread that you have to go through to get them tight. When you finally get them tight, the end of the bolt comes up above the grate that your luggage will be tied down to (at least on the 2015 Subaru Forester). Obviously this will damage whatever you plan to put there. I plan to cut them off so they don't poke through. 579602

by: Theodore04/23/2018

Bolts are too long, so they MAY damage cargo in basket. Manufacturer expects these to be "cut off", but provide no tooling or instructions to do so. 499617

Theodore, thank you for your review. This basket is a universal fit that uses u-bolts. The roof basket is designed to fit a wide variety of bars. Depending on the bars, the u-bolts may have excess thread sticking out from the knobs on the inside of the basket. If you are using cargo that you do not want scratched or a cargo bag you may want to cut the bolts down. You can cut the bolts down using an angle grinder with a cutting wheel.

Great product but horrible packaging! Bars were very scuffed up from shipping. Maybe some bubble wrap or styrofoam should be used and that would alleviate the problems. 433987

Fast shipment and it was easy for me to install. If a 50 year old female can do it, anyone can do it! I wish I bought the extension piece. Needed more room to pack up stuff! Highly recommend buying this product. Love it! 428872

by: Ernie V08/31/2017

Nice looking carrier and holds a good amount of cargo. It would be nice to have a better mounting system that does not interfere with the bottom of the carrier. Overall, it fit our needs well. 427102

Outstanding! Ordered hitch and wiring harness at 3pm on a Friday. 3-5 day shipping. At 2pm the next day, UPS dropped them off. Parts were perfect and the install was so easy my 5 year old did it in his pajamas. I wish I could attach a video. I took a time lapse 425781
