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

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. 661396

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. 520010

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Perfect fit. Looks very slim and low enough to clear my garage door. Always love Thule products. Make the vehicle looks more rugged with its new curves.1295070
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. 808213
Still in great shape. No rust. No rattles. Great cargo rack

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
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!1074288
Just finished installing my roof basket this morning. No problems doing it by myself. Good, solid product!
Thanks to the team at etrailer for exceptional service, and especially to Michael B. for his help with changing my shipment from my home address to my work address!1081941
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!!906635
I still love it!! 1 minor thing though...the plastic piece creates a lot of wind noise. Other than that, its an awesome product. I also bought an extension which made it look so much better.

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Others stated directions were hard to follow but my husband had it installed on my 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon in less than an hour by himself the only thing I helped with was lifting it up and off the roof of the car. I chose Thule because they stand behind their product. Thule is the best cargo roof basket available on the market and they back it up with a Lifetime Warranty! I have not had any cargo in it yet but have had it up to 75 miles an hour with no wind drag empty. There is a speed rating on this basket of 80 miles an hour so I wonder if the wind complaint reviewers are driving in excess of 80 miles an hour. No matter what vehicle you put it on it has a nice, sleek, sturdy appearance. From what I have researched the less expensive roof cargo baskets only have up to a 2 year warranty and are plagued by rust issues.1126982

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
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.593914
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. :) 818688
The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket was a great addition to our Jeep Grand Cherokee. Works great with a rooftop bag to haul additional gear on long trips.1222433

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Basket is sturdy and wasn't bad to install. I've used it several times and it's great to have with a new car because stuff I don't want in car goes up there. I ride bikes and basket is great for weekend bike trips for extra space as well as whatever I need to haul and construction makes it easy to hook load straps and secure load. Basket does make some noise but it's worth it. Overall great purchase that I plan to get lots of use out of.730853

Working well used this basket on bunch of mtb camping trips. Holds gear Im using Thule bag with it works very well keeps things dry and secure. Highly recommend these products.
Works good, nice and sturdy. Make sure you check the nuts on the deflector shield every once and a while. I had one come off.1271175

Great kit! The previous hardware was rotten. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 star is bc I believe this kit should come with the new bolts. Other than that, installed in 20 minutes.1170706

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
I’d been looking at this product for a while. No oversize shipping fee. Fairly straightforward directions— IKEA experience a plus. Looks great on the Outback. Feels solid, and is ready to go. 804245
Great product and absolutely awesome service. I originally order the Thule Canyon XT basket from a VERY well know online entity. I wasn't able to get a ship date (they said a would be notified via email when a firm date had been established. After two days of waiting for the message, I cancelled the order and checked etrailer.com. They had the same Thule basket at the same price, so I ordered it. It wasn't 10 minutes later that I received an email thanking me for the order and further stating that the product had shipped!!!!!! A UPS tracking number came early the next day!!!! Great product, great price and great service!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks - etrailer..........919010
The Thule Cargo Basket part # TH859XT with the extension part # TH8591XT will fit your 2014 Jeep Cherokee with factory crossbars. I attached a review video that shows the basket being used on a 2014 Cherokee just like yours. The extension section would work just fine and realistically would just make the basket 20 inches longer. The total length would be 69 inches so you can measure that length on your roof. You can also buy these two together as part # TH859XT-8591XT. view full answer...
The Thule Roof Top Basket Cargo Carrier Extension, # TH8591XT, is an add on to the Thule Canyon XT Roof Top Basket Cargo Carrier, # TH859XT. If your 2008 Hummer H3 has a factory roof rack and you have the Canyon XT Roof Top Basket, the extension will work on your vehicle. If you do not have a cargo basket yet, you can purchase the Canyon XT cargo basket with the extension with part # TH859XT-8591XT.
I also recommend consulting the vehicle owners manual to determine the weight capacity... view full answer...
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... view full answer...

The Thule Canyon XT with extension, part # TH859XT-8591XT can fit the 2017 Honda CR-V's OEM kit, but you'll have to do a few things to make it work.
The roof basket will extend over the top of the sun roof, making it mostly unusable while the basket is installed on the roof. Second, you'll need to move the bars forward if able to better support the weight of the basket. view full answer...
The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT referenced in your question is designed to fit factory crossbars like what you have on your 2005 Toyota Sienna. This basket will mount to the crossbars on your Sienna without issue and you won't need any additional parts to do this. It works with a crossbar spread (distance between front and rear crossbars, on center) of 20 to 37 inches without the extension or 20 to 57 inches when using the extension. It looks like the crossbars on... view full answer...
With the extension included with the Thule Canyon Roof Cargo Basket on part # TH859XT-8591XT, the overall dimension of the basket is 69 inches long x 40 inches wide x 6 inches tall.
You would need a minimum of 20 inches between the crossbars to mount the basket, so that would leave approximately 24 inches or so of basket from the center of the rear crossbar to the back edge of the basket. You can measure from the center of your rear crossbar to the hatch when it is open to determine if... view full answer...
From what I'm seeing it looks like the OEM crossbars on your 2022 Honda Pilot sit a little higher than the

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. view full answer...
The Thule Canyon XT roof basket part # TH859XT that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Subaru. It will fit crossbar spreads that are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart.
Some carriers do not have an open range of spread for crossbars. Some have a few set positions that are only conducive to adjustable bars.
The Thule extended carrier can be purchased two ways. You can order the main rack # TH859XT and the extension #TH8591XT, or you can order them together as one... view full answer...
The Thule Canyon cargo basket # TH859XT and extension # TH8591XT fit on crossbars that are spaced apart between 20" and 37". This crossbar spread is measured from center to center. The Thule Canyon with extension # TH8591XT is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and can be bought separately or together in part # TH859XT-8591XT. view full answer...
We do have a bike rack that can mount to the bars your basket is on, but there is no bike rack that will mount to your Thule Canyon XT Basket # TH859XT-8591XT. The Thule UpRide # TH599000 will work great! Since the Thule Canyon XT is 40" wide and the UpRide is 13" wide, if you had bars 53" or wider you could carry a basket and bike wherever you need to go! Just be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of your roof rack.
I have included a video to learn more about the Thule UpRide. view full answer...

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. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
As long as the crossbars on your 2005 Infiniti QX56 are situated or can be adjusted so that they're between 20 inches and 57 inches apart, the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT roof cargo basket would be an outstanding choice. The basket is a very popular choice. If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video featuring the Thule roof cargo basket. view full answer...
The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT will be a nice fit on your 2017 VW Passat. That doesn't mean you can't use the Thule Canyon XT with extension # TH859XT-8591XT, but it will give you an overhang which is only an appearance issue not a function issue.
The extension does not fit directly in the middle, but is actually toward the front so when added is well supported by the crossbars. I've attached a photo to assist.

The Thule Cargo Net part # TH692 would fit on the Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket part # TH859XT-8591XT that you are interested in and would work well. Using this with straps like you already have would be ideal for carrying cargo on the basket. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Good question, but the mounting brackets must attach to the front and rear section - and not the extension - of the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT.
I verified this with Thule, and the reason is this allows for the most secure attachment to your vehicle's crossbars, with the most balanced distribution of the basket's weight. view full answer...
