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 included 20" extension piece allows you to adjust the basket length as needed.
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.
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.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket, with extension. It's part number TH859XT-8591XP. This Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket is larger than most, allowing you to maximize your vehicle's carrying capacity. You can keep larger bulky items from taking up too much space inside your vehicle or keep dirty or damp here from soiling the inside. Other similar roof baskets have a boxier design. The tapered edges are going to make unloading and loading easy. It's going to work with your round, square, arrow, elliptical, and most factory roof rack systems.
Most other roof baskets only clamp to your vehicle's roof rack system. Not only can you do that with the Thule Canyon, but you can also use your roof rack's T-slot if it has one. This roof basket's faring and low profile design help minimize drag and wind noise when heading down the road. It's made out of a steady, tubular steel construction with a black powder coat finish so it's going to resist rust and corrosion. It's dimensions are 69 inches long, 40 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. You can remove the center extension and reduce it's overall length by 20 inches.
It has a weight capacity of 150 pounds though you'll want to be sure and check with your vehicle's owner's manual to see if your roof can carry that much. The Thule Canyon XT features a limited lifetime warranty. It's very easy to get installed. Let's go ahead and show you that now. I've already got my mounting plates installed on my basket here. I've got it measured out to match the distance of my cross bars.
You'll also need to be sure you have a minimum distance of 20 inches. Go ahead and load it up. Then we'll center it up. Now when positioning it on your roof rack system, you'll want to be sure to leave just enough room so you can open up your rear hatch. Now we can grab our U bolts.
They come in 3 different sizes, depending on your cross bar's thickness. We're going to use the medium one here so we'll go underneath our cross bar, come up through the mounting plate. Then we'll take 2 flat washers, place those over top and then 2 thumb screws. Get those started. Once you've got them tightened down evenly, we can go ahead and repeat the same process with the other 3 sides. Now we can put on our cover. We need to be sure that the side with the hole here matches up with the mounting plate portion here so we'll line it up, make sure it goes in the hole, and then we're going to bring it around and push it in place. Then we can lock it up. Now you do have the option to remove the plastic lock and put in the Thule locking core. You can pick up 4 of those with part number TH544. Now if you want to and your cross bars are T-slot compatible, you can use the included T-bolts instead of the clamps. There's just a hole here in the center of the mounting plate that you would use and then one of the thumb screws. With everything tightened down and secured, let's go ahead and load up some cargo and then we're ready to hit the road. That's going to complete our look at the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket with extension, part number TH859XT-8591XT.

Review from a similar Thule 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

Review from a similar Thule Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Purchased this rack and the THULE wind screen shown in picture above is PLASTIC. Would not be a big deal except for when installed it was bent due to the location of the attach points. LOOKED LIKE CRAP. Called to discuss and got the "pass the buck" from etrailer "not our issue-way its made". We took it off but had to put it back on due to a ridiculous amount of wind noise. Poor product. Poor service. Never used again and hitting the trash. Big regret. 592831

Put the rack on yesterday and so far so good. The test will be a 900-mile trip to Wisconsin over several days. Overall, very satisfied with this rack. 199389
This rack has been great. Used is a bunch of times for stuff that was too awkward for the car, or where there was no room.

Review from a similar Thule Canyon XT in Roof Basket
The product it’s self is great. It’s a Thule product so you know what you’re getting when you order it. Very stylish and the coating on the basket seems like it will hold up. This is something that is not meant to be taken on and off regularly. It does take some time to install the basket. I did it myself in about an hour. I do feel like the plastic wind shield on it could have had a better set up. Doesn’t look to strong but time will tell etrailer customer service also gets 5 stars I ordered this on sale on Black Friday. The item took about 2 weeks to ship but once it did it only took 2 days to arrive. I recieved several emails updating me on my order status which was great comminitication. It seems that basket was delayed due to supplies from Thule because other retailers stopped taking orders on it. Overall the basket looks great on my Subaru Crosstrek and is what I expected from the product. 460734

Review from a similar Thule Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Products arrived in good condition as expected. Customer service was outstanding! George and Julie kept in constant communication with me regarding one item that was delayed. I asked them if they could sent the rest of the order and it arrived promptly, along with the part that I wasn't expecting until the end of the month. Outstanding!! Being in a field myself that cultivates good customer service these two representatives really took ownership of my order/case and saw it through to the end. Thank you! 498132

Review from a similar Thule Canyon XT in Roof Basket
I bought this rack because of the look of it. I liked the lines, and the tapered walls. It looks great on my grand Cherokee. It is easy to take on and off once you learn how. Kat from e-trailer helped out a lot, letting me know the status until it arrived. GREAT customer service, and awesome product. Thanks Kat, and thanks e-trailer!!! 215472
