This extra-large, heavy-duty steel cargo basket is great for transporting gear safely and securely on your roof rack. It attaches to most crossbars with universal mounting hardware, and it includes a fairing to reduce drag and wind noise.

Today on our 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Basket, part number RMCB02. This is 57 inches long by 42 inches wide by 5 7/8 inches tall, with interior dimensions of 53 inches by 39 1/4 inches on the inside. This does have a 165 pounds of carrying capacity, although you want to double-check with your vehicle's manufacturer's manual to make sure they can withstand that kind of weight up on the top. The mounting kit, here at the roof rack, they fit a wide variety of bars, anything from arrow, elliptical, round, square, or even some factory crossbars. This will not work, though, with the Rhino Rack heavy duty bars. It simply just wraps around here. It has this nice padded bottom, here, so your roof rack won't get scratched up once it gets installed. Then we have this plate and 2 screws up at the top, and that secures it to your roof rack. This is going to be great for storing your camping, your sporting goods gear or your luggage or anything wet to keep it out of the vehicle and make more space for you and your family as you travel.
One of the best parts about it is it has no clearance issues between the hatch and the basket itself, and you don't have to remove the antenna, as well. There you have it for the Rhino Rack Rooftop Cargo Basket, part number RMCB02, on our 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek.

I've had this rack for a year now. For the most part I am very pleased - very sturdy and I do a lot of high speed driving on interstates. However, recently the wind deflector has started to rattle a bit more - probably just needs to be tightened. Also, perhaps a bigger issue, recently orange liquid has started to leak from two screws on either side of the lower front crossbar. This is rusty water leaking from inside the frame meaning the frame has been filling and holding rainwater probably since I bought the unit. The rust has now stained the outside of the frame in the vicinity of the screws and is a bit unsightly. Otherwise, this is a great product. 647278
Really like this rack. Very easy to assemble and mount to my car. This is the only one that has adjustable mounts that run vertically. This made mounting it to my 2018 Explorer very easy as the cross bars are fixed position at 39". 635399
One year and counting for our awesome Rhino Rack. Not too hard to assemble onto the car. Once done, you can forget about it except to enjoy. It's sturdy, very attractive on our Subaru and the quality still shows after a year. We would absolutely buy this again! 450859
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. 516282
Thomas - 06/04/2019This review is about the install as I have not put the rack to its full use yet. I will update it after I finish installing the radar and weather instruments and have used it through storm season. I can say that this basket is very strongly constructed look like it will be very stable. The actual attachment of the basket to the rails was something of an issue as my rails sit about 7' off the ground and the bottom brackets for the attachment assemblies just did not want to go together very well. However, in the end we got them all installed (with the help of my daughter) and everything seems to be very solidly attached. 641562
Functioned very well over a 29 day, 11,700 mile road trip. A lot of miles along very rough Alaska highways. Top quality construction, but light weight. 608719
I purchased the Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar systems for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk with factory raised rails and panoramic roof. The crossbar systems are well away from the panoramic sunroof and poise no issues or touching with the sunroof opening or closing. When the sunroof opens, it drops down and slides back, again never touching any part of the Vortex SX rails or feet. Then I added Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket/XTray Large measuring 57" Long x 42" Wide. Both were easy to install, very stylish, and practical. I did a lot research for cross rails and cargo basket and I am very pleased with Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar and the Rhino-Rack Roof Cargo Basket from eTrailer.com 168699

Thanks 530048
This roof basket is very well constructed and it looks awesome on my 2004 z71 Tahoe. I would recommend it over any other roof basket. Only took me 20 minutes to put together and install. 222489
Blayze P - 08/27/2016So far so good - haven't loaded it up yet but seems like it will be perfect for hauling all my gear to the beach and beyond. Install was straightforward and I didn't notice any wind noise or vibration on my commute in. I had gone back and forth on a number of different lengths and models (including the KUAT) because I wanted a rack that didn't look too squatty or disproportionate on my Pathfinder. I think this wound up being the perfect size. 653023
Easy to install, mostly cross bar attac hment. 477817
Item came within a week. Quality is excellent and very durable, the powder-coat finish is topnotch, my son scratch it with a metal philip screw, and it was still black under the outter coating. Easy to assemble and install, if you follow the instruction manual properly. The only tricky part was the rubber sleeve that goes between the bars of the rack when assembling, and measurements when putting it on top of your vehicle. I installed this today all by myself, it wasnt easy but totally do-able just one person. The cargo basket had few minor (like 3) scuffs and dents, but none are noticeable. I am not worried about it too much, I worked at a warehouse and items will get minor unnoticeable dents and scuffs here and there due to movement of the item to differnet storages. It happens to all the products in the world. Over all I am very and over satisfied with this item, I bought it during sale for [$$$.$$]! I have a jeep renegade 2016, and I bought the Large size. Dont get the small one, itll look weird on your renegade. 353678
I am extremely happy with the Rhino-Rack that we got from you. It was very easy to install and I was able to get it done in just a couple of hours. It arrived in just a few days all the way to Hawaii. Very impressed with the whole process. I would highly recommended this product and will be shopping for more things for our car with etrailer. Tim C. thank you for your excellent service. 598003
Extraordinarily heavy rack and that's not good. The weight limit for my Thule Aero Blades is 165 lbs but weight limit for my Jeep is 150lbs. This product weighs 46Lbs. So I only get just over 100lbs of capacity. Also seems to reduce mpg by 10% when empty...that's $4.00 a fill to carry this thing around with nothing in it. Should have a quick release and a safety strap of some sort so it can be easily removed when not necessary. 730940

1. Terrible Instructions. 2. Good Customer Service with etrailer. 3. Build Quality looks to be there. 4. Not sure product is worth the price? 607306
Easy to assemble and works great. The rack is very solid. 591148
Good product. I have it on my RV tow vehicle and use it for extra “stuff” that we take with us. 584700
Installation of the Rhino Rack was straightforward with the detailed instructions. The online installation videos and product overview were very helpful in making the purchase and in giving me the comfort level knowing I could install the rack on my own. We're extremely pleased with the unique and rugged look of the Rhino Rack compared to others on the market. The customer service and ordering process were excellent. 553486
