Specs:
The stylish Thule Trail roof cargo basket has space for your sports equipment or camping gear and built-in T-slots for carrying a bike or watersport carrier. And the integrated, adjustable anchor loops provide spots to tie down your gear.
The sleek, aerodynamic Trail is constructed of anodized aluminum. The front of the basket serves as a fairing that not only looks stylish but helps deflect air and reduce wind noise. The Trail's cargo area is made up of flat planks that make it easy to load and arrange your gear.
This carrier has T-slots built into the tops of the front and rear rails so that you can attach channel-mounted carriers and accessories. This allows you to transport your bike or boat on top of your luggage and sports gear. These slots come with Thule WindDiffuser strips. You can cut these strips and place them in the slots around your mounted accessories. And when no accessories are mounted, these strips help keep dirt out of the channels and help reduce wind noise and drag.
The Trail has 8 built-in tie-down anchors - 4 per side. You can adjust the position of these anchors and loop a cargo strap or bungee cord through them and around your cargo. Or throw a cargo net over your gear and hook the net to the anchors and to the bottom of the carrier.
This basket mounts onto square and round crossbars with included U-bolts. T-slot hardware is also included for installing the basket directly into the top channels of Thule AeroBlade and Xsporter crossbars. You can add One-Key System locks (sold separately) to secure the basket to your roof rack.

Have this on a 2016 Subaru Outback mounted to the OEM roof cross bars. Installation was easy EXCEPT that its mounting hardware for the crossbars is just powder-coated metal. Using that I would have metal on metal with eventual vibration, scratiching, corrosion, etc. I had to improvise some rubber mounting strips/pads from tarp tie-downs. Thule should spend the few cents to provide something similar. But those have worked great and the rack has stayed on rock solid over a year. It looks great on the Outback. Downright stylish. Definitely happy I spent the $$ to get this vs a black steel basket as it stays on full time. ALso hasn't aged at all. Doesn't interfere with the antenna or liftgate. ZERO wind noise. OK, occasionally you get a bit of sound in a strong cross wind. But that mostly reminds me that it otherwise is totally silent. I have used it a LOT. I throw three Plano foot-locker sized bins up there to haul family camping and trip stuff. Easy to tie stuff down. Sturdy. Keeps things securely. And not much if any wind noise loaded even with all that boxy stuff on the roof. It has been a great solution to needing more space. As a final bonus, you always know which blue subaru is yours in a parking lot. :-) I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone looking for a "permanent" roof rack. Looks good, works great. 927427
The product is well designed for camping and traveling. 831367
I was worried this box would be to large but it looks & fits great on my 2018 Highlander. The installation went pretty good (missing installation instruction but got them from Thule's website). The platform seems really sturdy. I used the spacers provided went mounting to my roof rack. I currently hear no rattling riding around town 35-50 mph. There is quite a bit of noise if open my sunroof but with it closed I do not hear it at all. I am about to take it on the interstate & I purchased to large interstate Thule bag with it. I still have about 10" after installing the roof bag in my basket... This is done on purpose as to have room for more gear. I will update this review once I have it loaded down & return from my trip to the mountains of NC. The only con (minus 1 star) is the plastic trim on the corners of the box has gaps. It should only be an appearance issue that I plan to fix using JB weld but I feel they should of designed screws to hold the corners tightly together. 617167
Great Product , easy to install 528479
Excellent product. Took both of us 1 hour to assemble it but you can see the quality of materials. Minimal impact on fuel mileage and hardly notice the noise it creates when driving. I would recommend to get a cargo bag for rain and to maximize aerodynamics. It first perfectly on my 2015 Toyota 4 Runner. 396841
Easy to assemble and install. Highest quality as always from Thule. Watch video on product page for more install info. Be aware that interior measurements are decently smaller than overall size measurements. Check specs in description. Definitely recommend this basket. Fits great with 58 inch Thule rail bars on 2017 Odyssey. 382704
