A built-in fairing reduces drag and wind noise, and the mounting hardware is adjustable to accommodate different crossbar spreads.


Aerodynamic, Low-Profile Design

Thule Canyon and Fairing

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

Installed Thule Canyon

The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.


Adjustable Mounting Hardware

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.


U-Bolts & Hand KnobsInstalled U-Bolts

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.


Optional 20" Extension

To increase the basket's cargo carrying capacity, install the Thule Canyon XT basket extension (TH8591XT - sold separately). This 20" extension allows you to carry extra-long gear on your vehicle's roof.

Takes a little time to assemble and install but the end product is worth it. Now i am worthy to go camping and carry all my stuff with me!



by:

Love this basket. Sturdy, easy to install, super functional. Would never have another car without it.

All items were delivered quickly and as ordered. I would definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

Excellente product, utilized to travel on a Chevy Taho. Great capacity, easy to assemble and installation. Practical no noise during travel.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

As advertised, fast shipping, easy to install, quality product.



by:

Fit my OEM Hyundai Palisade crossbars p erfectly.



by:

I’ve got several 1400+ mile trips with this on both a 2017 4Runner and a 2023 Kia Sportage. The basket is well made, easy to install, very solid and so far rust free.



by:

I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.



by:

Excellent! Only issue regarding shipping box a bit battered - but product packed well. Also, hardware missing ie a single washer, which was replaced with one of my own.



by:

Third order from ETRAILER, still as good as ever. The THULE cargo basket arrived in a fair amount of time, assembly and installation was straight forward and less complicated than I thought it would be.



by:

The cargo basket was a given as a gift. The recipient is delighted.



by:

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.

Still in great shape. No rust. No rattles. Great cargo rack

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!!



by:

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!



by:

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..........



by:

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.



by:

Love my new Thule canyon xt roof cargo basket!! Fits on my 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade, it was easy to assemble!! Shipping was awesome came in quicker then I expected!!

  • What Parts Are Needed to Mount Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket
    In regards to the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT, there's a number of different parts which attach the tray to the crossbars. I have attached a photo below with a full list of these. If you can let me know exactly what you need, I'd be glad to see if we carry them but I have also attached for you below some of the parts from this list. Unfortunately, I have no way to know what you have vs. what you don't have so I'll need for you to tell me exactly what you're missing...

  • Roof Cargo Basket Availability that Can Have a Bike Rack Mounted to It
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt basket you mentioned does not have the ability to install a bike rack on it. The Thule Canyon XT basket part # TH859XT does have the ability for a bike rack to be installed on it though. For a fork mount you could use the part # Y02115 or for a wheel mount you could then use the # TH598004 . I attached review videos for all three items for you to check out as well.

  • Using Kayak Carrier Along With Thule Canyopn Rooftop cargo Basket TH859XT
    Thule does not offer any kayak carrier accessory that can be fitted to their Canyon rooftop cargo basket # TH859XT. I called my most well-seasoned Thule contact and she confirmed no such product is on the drawing board for the future. In truth, even if such an item was available, it might not be your best option. Since kayak weights vary from the low 30s for smaller sit-on types up to the 140s for well-equipped fishing kayaks the vehicle roof capacity can come into play. The Canyon basket...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport for Cargo Basket
    For a locking roof rack that fits your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport that has a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK398 would work great. Then for a basket the Thule Canyon XT part # TH859XT would be a great option as well. It measures 49" by 40" by 6".

  • Recommended Roof Top Cargo Basket and Cargo Bag Combination for a 2017 Honda Pilot
    If you are just looking for a rooftop cargo bag then you actually have quite a few more options. The only time that you are restricted to a bag that sits on your crossbars is if you have a window on your roof like a sun or moon roof. In that case I recommend putting the cargo bag in a cargo basket on the OEM crossbars of your 2017 Honda Pilot. If you are needing a cargo basket then I recommend going with the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT. This is confirmed to fit your Honda...

  • Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with Thule XT Roof Cargo Basket
    The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT can use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...

  • Will the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT fit a 2010 Dodge Nitro
    The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT that you referenced must have crossbars installed on your 2010 Dodge Nitro, for the rack to work. If you have crossbars, check if they are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart. If they are, you are in business and this rack will work. For a similar cargo basket that has been confirmed to fit your bars check out the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070.

  • Is Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Compatible With Yakima Round Cross Bars
    The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, part # TH859XT, will fit Yakima round cross bars. You will need to make sure to move your crossbars to have proper spacing for the roof rack to mount as specified in the instructions. Thule specifies that the cross bars be spaced between 20 inches and 37 inches apart when measured center to center. I have linked a video overview of part # TH859XT and instructions below.

  • Fitting and Accessorizing a Roof Basket for a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
    There's a few things to consider for the fit to your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, but its fairly easy to make sure you have a good fit. The roof crossbars are the primary fit factor. A little research shows that the Trailhawk is about 70 inches wide, so the Rola Roof Basket, part # TH859XT will come across as a little small, but you can verify the specific width of your roof (Which is what will create the illusion) by measuring the distance between your roof rails.

  • Can the Thule Cantilever Be Added to TracRac And Used to Carry a Cargo Basket
    I spoke with my contact over at Thule and they say that using a cargo basket with the Thule Cantilever # TH24002XT and Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-780 is not typically something that they've seen and have not tested this application use on this product. Just because they haven't seen it, doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it was noted that the Cantilever bar was not designed to carry an extremely heavy load-it was simply designed to help spread out the weight on longer loads.

  • Yakima Baseline or Skyline Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5 for Fixed Point Roof
    The difference between the Yakima Baseline towers and Skyline towers is the style of roof they are intended which in your case indicates how it would install. The Baseline kits are designed for naked roof and will use the door clamps. The Skyline kits are designed for use on vehicles with factory fixed mounting points. Since this is the route you mentioned preferring on your 2016 Mazda CX-5 it would be your best option. That means you'll want the Yakima Skyline Aero Bar kit part numbers...

  • Can Fairing on Thule MOAB Cargo Basket Be Replaced
    The Thule MOAB was discontinued back in 2014 and while some parts are still available for replacement, unfortunately the fairing is not one of those parts. We carry a variety of fairings you can add to a roof rack system but they won't fit directly to the basket. If you really like the design of the MOAB then I recommend checking out the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT as an alternative to replace your current roof basket.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Kia Optima 2006.5
    My personal favorites are racks that use the aero style crossbars. Not only do these bars look great but since they are also aerodynamic, the amount of wind noise that you experience is greatly reduced. In order to install this style of rack on your 2006.5 Kia Optima, you will need Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR33SR as a custom fit.

  • Required Crossbar Spread Of Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket
    The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT requires a cross bar spread between 20" - 37" to install the basket on your roof rack. To determine your cross bar spread you want to measure from the center of one bar to the center of the other bar. As long as the cross bar spread is between 20" and 37" you can install the basket.

  • Will the Sunroof Support a Fully Loaded Thule Cargo Bag
    Vehicle manufacturers do not recommend placing any cargo directly on sunroofs. The glass was not designed to support additional weight. A better option for you would be to add crossbars to your factory side rails and use a roof basket and a cargo bag or a roof mounted cargo box. This would keep the load off of the sunroof and allow you to carry more weight. Based on your photo, it appears that you have a GMC Acadia. There are different roof rack options depending on the year of your...
