Love it! It's big enough to fit a bike carrier and a cargo bag on top of my MINI. Easy to assemble and install, solid construction. Great value for your money. If I have a gripe it's that the wind fairing on the front is VERY thin/fragile. I caught it with my bike tire when loading one day and the corner snapped right off like nothing. It's only about $XXX for the replacement.1258402
The fairing is replaceable with part # RR68TB Replacement Wind Deflector Fairing for Rhino-Rack Steel Cargo Basket $19.64.

This rack is sturdy and it was easy to install by myself. I like the mounting hardware and everything is snug. Finish is powder-coat and seems very durable.1063477
Still going strong and looking good! My vehicle is always parked outside in the elements, and the rack is taking it like a pro.

The Rhino-rack is great! The directions were simple and the parts fit together well. It was an excellent addition to our Subaru Ascent. There were concerns over this interfering with our sunroof; however, we were able to adjust it so that both, the sunroof and the rack work perfectly. It does add a small amount of wind noise, but that was expected.1290220
Works well but after a year the basket is starting to show surface rust. We’re in New England on the coast so perhaps salt are is an issue in the long term.

I recommend using a rust resistant paint to touch up the affected areas.
Just got this today, so this is my initial impression. Build quality seems great. The instructions were a bit ambiguous but I figured it all out. I consider myself quite handy, so I was slightly surprised at the lack of detail & guidance in the picture only assembly instructions (Which bolt is pictured? Where do I use this washer? Is this oriented correctly?). One thing I like about this is the infinite flexibility of the mounting points. It can accommodate a wide range of cross bar spacing. That makes it a breeze to switch between the stock bars on my 2018 Outback and my teardrop trailer, which has wide (39") and fixed spacing between my older Thule square cross bars. The lowish profile makes me think it won't impact my gas mileage much when empty. The price can't be beat for the extra large size. Others seemed way smaller for the same price point. Doesn't require some "extra" spacer for more length. Very happy thus far. I'll update after more use.1050166
It is a mixed bag. I'll start with it did NOT fit on a my 2021 4runner with factory rails and crossbars. But the rack is not going back, I'll buy new rails and try it out.
The assembly went smooth enough, though the rubber sleeves between the two pieces are difficult to maneuver and I actually have a partial tear in one. Also, I was missing one rubber spacer and one nut to attach the fairing. I got a nut from [home improvement store] and will have to go back for the rubber spacer. That is kind of a big deal but not a killer.
The killer is 1) the bottom of the mounting hardware will not fit under the crossbar without rubbing the roof. At some points it won't fit at all. 2) When resting on the crossbars (which have an arc to them, the center bars running front to back on the basket rest touching the bar which prevent the mounting rails (the double rails on the left and right of the basket running from front to back) cannot rack the mounting hardware. 3) even if they did reach, the basket touches the factory rail covers.
There are two possible solutions: 1) find hardware that has a smaller bottom plate (or break out the dremel) and create some shims above the mount to reach the basket and lift it off of the rail covers. or 2) get new crossbars that are a little higher and flatter.
The problem with option 1 is I don't know how reliable that would be and how good it would look. The problem with option 2 is the cost of the basket (~$[XX]) plus new crossbars ($[XX]-[XX]) I could have ordered a complete new rack system like Victory, Prinsu or LFD.1016403
Super happy with this basket. I was going back and forth between this and the smaller Rhino-Rack, I was worried this would look ridiculously large on my 2016 Kia Sorento. Turns out it's perfect, I think the smaller one would be silly small. Assembly and mounting was easy on the factory crossbars. Purchased a RRLB500 Rhino-Rack bag to go with it.
TIPS: It took me a minute to remember the front and rear crossbars are different widths. At first this was causing me to struggle to eyeball the centering of the basket. I ended up measuring from the bracket to a well-defined spot on the crossbar. My Vehicle was 3 5/8" Front, 2 3/4" Rear. I made a template from a clean piece of cardboard (from the box) and noted the measurements. The template was a good place to note the allen screw head size of 5/32. I used a drill with a 5/32 allen bit to snug the screws, then hand tightened them. I'll keep the template someplace logical, then next time I mount the rack it should go real quick and easy. Sorry for the lame garage photos.1082834
I’ve got to say I really like this basket, quality is great and the size is perfect for what I need. Fits well on my 2021 RAV4 hybrid with factory roof rack. Unlike others, I found the assembly from box to mounted on the roof only took about 25 mins and was very simple.
Only complaint is with etrailer itself as when I ordered the rack it was in stock and was scheduled to ship in 3 days, however, it took almost two full weeks to even ship. When I called customer service I was told it was in stock but they were having difficulty locating part of my order and I didn’t receive my order for two and a half weeks. Not a huge deal but also not what I was expecting.1290964

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
Works just as I planned. Made a couple of trips to the airport to pick up several guests and the luggage rack performed as expected. Very happy with this product. Well done!

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.com168699
I don't often do reviews. This time, I'm making an exception. First, the product is awesome - really well designed, really sturdy and easy to assemble and install. Everything I wanted.
Second, I can't tell you how impressed I am with etrailer.com. Solid site, good information, fast shipping, good communication, in general a really well run company.1277278

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
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
I use the cargo basket mainly for or annual beach trip. My previous basket was smaller and it was difficult to pack all our gear safely. I was able to fit everything we need into the Rhino-Rack (5 chairs 2 umbrellas and a small table), without having to hang anything over the top rail. It was easy for my wife and I to lift it onto our crossbars and the attachment system is very secure.
There is some wind noise at highway speeds but I couldn't feel any real drag. I'll be curious to see its affect on milage, but I doubt it will be any worse than my previous basket because it has a lower profile.1078284

Hey! So I actually recieved this product and it was damaged during shipping. I will attach images below but I was hoping to see if there was some kind of compensation that can be made due to the damages seeing as this is the second time I've ordered a roof rack that was damaged. The product is still usable but one of the bars in warped and dinged so I will have to fix that and seal the metal to prevent rust. Please let me know if anything can be done in this situation.1189522

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
etrailer ordering and delivery was excellent. The X-Tray rack is very sturdy construction and is just what I was looking for. The size is perfect for the top of my pickup topper.1274675

This 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
This is the perfect cargo basket. Looks good, well-made and easy to assemble and install.1285798

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
Item is excellent and high quality and durable, easy to assemble. Over all this cool looking roof basket looks good on my 2002 Chevy Silverado . Thank you for this awesome product and yes Crystal K customer service representative etrailer is very knowledgeable and professional.541564
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
Excellent rack...easy to assemble and mount. High quality. Looks good. Love that (unlike most racks) the floor rails run along the length of the vehicle. That makes the positioning of the mounting clamps infinitely adjustable instead of step-wise jumping from bar-to-bar for those with floor rails that go the other direction. This made it possible to mount on my fixed-spacing roof rails. I just bought a second, smaller one, for my tow vehicle!296395
I got my rhino rack and basket installed on my rocky ridge conversion silverado the day I received it. This rack/ basket puts the final touch on my truck for the apperance I was looking for.Thanks for a great product and for excellent customer service. I will definitely use etrailer in the future. 114157
Based on the dimensions you gave me the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 would be your best choice. This basket can fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide and are between 24 and 44 inches apart.
Your spread of 38.5 inches would work well, and based on the difference between the center to center dimension you gave me and the inside to inside dimension you listed your bars should be 2-1/2 inches wide. Check out the review video I attached.
The part # RMCB would... view full answer...
I attached a picture of the larger Rhino Rack Cargo Basket part # RMCB02 installed on a customer of ours 2013 Outback which is very similar to your 2015. You can see that it fits the roof actually really well. It wouldn't look oversized at all on your 2015.
The smaller # RMCB will be about 10 inches shorter and 7 inches narrower and would also work well. view full answer...
Since your crossbar spread is wider than what the # RMCB can fit you will need to get the # RMCB02 instead since it can fit crossbar spreads of 25-44 inches and would work great on yours.
This basket will also fit the dimensions of your crossbars as well. Check out the review video I attached for more info. view full answer...
I checked out the two part numbers you mentioned and they appear to be rebranded Rhino Rack roof cargo trays. So the smaller size is our part number # RMCB and the larger size is the # RMCB02. The # RMCB measures 47 by 35 inches and the larger # RMCB02 measures 57 by 42 inches. view full answer...
While you didn't specify, I do assume you have the factory roof rack on your 2020 Toyota RAV4, and yes, there is a Rhino-Rack roof basket that fits, but it depends on the rails your crossbars are attached to.
If your '20 RAV4 has crossbars attached to your raised side rails (which are rails with space underneath them) on your roof, then you can use the Rhino-Rack basket you asked about:
- Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide # RMCB
If your '20 RAV4 has crossbars... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack cargo basket, # RMCB02, will fit on crossbars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-1/4 inches tall. And the crossbar spread needs to be 25 to 44 inches center to center between the bars. You will need to measure the crossbars on your 2008 Jeep Commander to determine fit.
If you do not have a roof rack on your Jeep then you can add one. I have included a link to the roof rack main page for your vehicle. Since there are so many possible roof configurations you will need to... view full answer...
The Rhino Rack Xtray Cargo Basket part # RMCB02 that you referenced will fit over Yakima Core Bars. This basket fits crossbar dimensions that are up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/4" tall and crossbar spread: 25-1/2" - 43" view full answer...
Yes, the Rhino Rack Cargo Basket part # RMCB02 will fit the crossbars of your 2015 Toyota 4Runner and will work well.
If when your sunroof is open it does not come up higher than the top of the crossbars of your roof rack it would not interfere with the cargo basket. Most of the time people with sunroofs keep them closed with roof accessories since they create quite a bit of wind noise. view full answer...
For the Rhino-Rack cargo basket # RMCB02, the internal length is 53 inches. The width is 37-7/16 inches at the narrowest point. And the height is just under 5 inches. I have included a link to a video review of this basket for you. view full answer...
The mounting hardware for the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 can slide front to back. What you can do is place the rear mounting hardware as far back on the basket as it can go which will keep the basket as far forward on the bars as it can go. That will allow you to open the rear hatch on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee without making contact with the basket!
You have selected the perfect basket for this situation; nice work! view full answer...
The MySky roof of your 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk is basically a sunroof that has removable panels almost like a T-Top. It wouldn't interfere with a roof rack or cargo basket, but you should note that you'll most likely experience quite a bit of wind noise.
The Rhino Rack cargo basket part # RMCB02 would fit the bars you have installed and would work well. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 is compatible with crossbar spreads of 25-1/2" - 43". This measurement is taken by measuring the middle of one crossbar to the middle of the other crossbar.
Even though the crossbars on your 2017 Toyota Highlander measure 30-1/2" from very front to very back it should still fit (which you can verify by measuring again). view full answer...
It looks like the part # RMCB02 would fit just fine on the factory crossbars of your 2017 Toyota 4Runner but you need to measure the width of the bars first. If they are less than 3-1/2 inches in width this will fit and work well. view full answer...
Yes, the Rhino Rack Roof Basket part # RMCB02 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2017 Toyota Highlander. view full answer...
Most likely yes, but you will need take a couple measurements of the roof rack on your 2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5.
This basket will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/4" tall and are spaced 25-1/2" - 43" apart. If your roof rack is compatible with those dimensions this would fit and work well. view full answer...
While we have not had the opportunity to test fit this on a 2013 Toyota Tacoma DCSB (Double Cab Short Bed) with a factory roof rack, I can tell you how to measure to see if this Rhino Rack Basket # RMCB02 will fit.
The first thing I would check is the spread of your crossbars. The Rhino Rack roof basket has one of the best designs to accommodate center to center lengths anywhere from 25-1/2 - 43 inches of spread. The next thing you will want to confirm is the crossbar dimension itself.... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 will work well for your 2008 Honda Element. Rhino-Rack has verified that this cargo basket will fit on crossbar spreads between 25-1/2 and 43 inches. The overhang on your 28 inch spread will not be a problem.

Yes, the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 that you referenced would work well on your 2014 Toyota Tacoma that has crossbars that are 43 inches apart on center are 2-1/2 inches in diameter.

As long as the factory crossbars on your 2014 Toyota 4Runner are smaller than 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/4" tall and the spread between the two is 25-1/2" - 43" this cargo basket # RMCB02 would work well for you.

Here's how you'll be able to know if the Rhino Rack roof basket will fit the factory crossbars of your 2011 Toyota Sienna. You'll need to measure your roof rack and if the bars are less than 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-1/4 inch tall and between 25-1/2 and 43 inches apart this will fit them well. view full answer...
I measured one of the mounting brackets for the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket, part # RMCB02, and they are 1-1/4 inches tall at their thickest point. This leaves you a small, but manageable, amount of room underneath your roof rails to properly mount the basket to your 2015 Toyota Tacoma.
The mounting brackets screw in from the top, so it will be fairly easy to install because you don't have to mess with under the basket wing nuts or anything to install. view full answer...
The Rhino Rack roof basket part # RMCB02 will add 5-7/8 inches to the roof of your vehicle. You'll have to check the dimensions of your factory roof rack to determine if this will fit since Rhino Rack does not test fit the basket on every vehicle. This basket can fit crossbars that measure less than 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/4" tall and are between 25-1/2 inches and 43 inches apart on center. view full answer...
Yes, the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2017 Honda CR-V!
I attached a review video for more info on it as well. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide # RMCB02 will fit your 2021 Toyota Tacoma without an issue and should not scratch your roof. The only part of this system that sits under your crossbars is the brackets that clamp around the crossbars; I just confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the bottom side of the brackets measure only 1/2" thick, so as long as you have 1/2" clearance between your roof rack and roof then you will be fine.
A really nice feature is the front... view full answer...
