Load up for a weekend adventure with this economical, roof-mounted Yakima RocketBox Pro cargo box. This box offers 12 cubic feet of exterior storage space for your luggage, sports equipment or other gear.
This cargo carrier installs in minutes with an easy-to-use clamp system. The clamps slide along tracks inside the box to accommodate your vehicle's crossbar spread. The jaws tighten onto your crossbars with hand knobs and are secured in place with the turn of a dial.
This box interferes less with your rear hatch than standard boxes. The rear mounting clamps can be positioned close to the rear of the box, enabling you to mount the box toward the front of your vehicle.
To ensure the security of your gear, the cargo box has two keyed locks - one per side - with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores. These lock cores can be swapped out to make all your Yakima locks keyed alike. Large push buttons on the locking mechanisms make it easy to lock and unlock the box.
The cargo box lid opens from either the driver's side or the passenger's side for maximum accessibility and convenience.
The interior of the cargo box includes four anchor points so that you can tie down your gear. The anchor points are built into the sliding mounting clamps that attach to your roof-rack crossbars, allowing you to reposition them to accommodate your cargo.

Today well be reviewing the Yakima RocketBox Pro12 Rooftop Cargo Box, part number y07191. Now with the RocketBox already assembled, well start up our review by installing it onto the vehicle. To assist us in our review today, we will be using the HitchMate Adjustable Tire Step, part number he4040. Set the RocketBox onto the vehicles cross bars and open up the lid. Well first loosen up the black circle knob on the inside of the lid to slide and adjust the arms to fit on the cross bars. This also allows you to position the rear clamps so that the box sits far enough up that it wont interfere with your hatch.
Once weve spaced out the brackets on the underside of the RocketBox, well unscrew the red T-handle to loosen up the jaws. Well do this for all four of the red handles and all four of the black knobs to loosen up the jaws to fit the jaws around the cross bars. Well then first tighten on the black knob to secure the jaws in position, and then turn the red T-handle to tighten down the jaws to secure the carrier to the vehicle. This economically priced roof-mounted cargo box provides storage for your gear. Its short and wide design is weather safe and perfect for vehicles with short roof lines.
The box opens from either side to allow you to access cargo from either side of the vehicle. It used key locks with Yakimas same key system course on both sides of the box, and the SKS course can be changed out to make all of your Yakima locks key alike. The aerodynamic shape reduces wind noise and drag, and the style lines are designed to match the look of smaller vehicles. There are four tie-down points inside the box that allow you to secure your gear with minimal movement. Its constructed of ABS plastic and has as sleek, sophisticated look that will compliment any vehicle.
It carries twelve cubic feet of storage, weighs thirty pounds, and comes with a limited warrantee. Now that weve gone over some features and specs, of the Yakima RocketBox Pro12, well load up some gear and show you how it looks driving down the road. And that completes todays review of the Yakima RocketBox Pro12 Rooftop Cargo Box, part number yo7191.

Not quite as rigid and sturdy as I was hoping for but still a great item. 45840
Great Product. Ordering was easy and shipping was very fast. Thanks. 83111
Dylan - 06/27/2014The lock on one side is a little stiff - almost feels like I might break the key trying to open or close that side. Otherwise it seems OK. Will be using it for a long trip this weekend. 79112
Product was shipped immediately and arrived in pristine condition. etrailer has been a pleasure to work with. 52647
Haven't gotten the chance to use it yet so I'm holding off on the excellent rating, but it was easy to put together, and the hinges and clamping device are much higher quality than I expected. I needed it to fit 3 sets of golf clubs and it fits them perfectly - with no room to spare though. With it's low profile I was able to drive into the garage with it on the roof. I have a Mazda Cx7 - it allows sky light to operate and doesn't come close to the antenna in the back - actually, had I known it would fit so well, I would have gotten a bigger box. I like that it opens at both sides. I'm looking forward to using it for our 2 week trip in June. 38692
My roof top cargo box arrived in great shape and earlier than I expected. Assembly went pretty smooth but I prefer some text along with the pictures. The box is now on my van, packed and ready for the trip back to Ohio. I gave it a test run at 75 MPH and had no problems. I like the either side opening feature. It should work out just fine. 36874
Got delivered extremely fast and in mint condition! 34379
Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
Nice product. It attached to the factory crossbars on my 2008 Rav4 without a problem. 49991
I could not find any fit information from Yakima about 2011 Kia Sedona with factory crossbars. If your Sedona has factory cross bars, you can use the Thule Pulse L, part TH614.

Patrick B - 12/23/2013Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
Received the Yakima Rocket Box to transport 5 pairs of skis and poles for a day trip at a nearby ski resort. Originally purchaed a Thule 4-ski rack but needed a more versatile carrier so chose the Yakima Rocket Box. It fits all of our skis and poles with room to spare. Setup was a breeze and unlike my older Thule Evolution cargo box, it use built in crossbar clamps rather than U-brackets on Thule. Overall a nice purchase but only reaso. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to wind noise; I was expecting less. But, I think price was fair with a $75 rebate from Yakima. 32592
Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans. 607599

Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the Yakima box on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone. My gas mileage does go down a bit as expected, about 3 mpg. 634360

Great roof rack. Use nearly every weekend. Sturdy. 607720
Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
I have had an Rocketbox on my Jeep for at least 15 years with no problems other than normal aging on the mounts. I got a newer Jeep (13') where the rack sits back farther and the old box blocked the tailgate from lifting fully. This box is offset so it doesn't do that and so fulfills that part of the need. As other reviews will say this box is a lot flimsier than the previous types but it still secures as needed. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn't open very wide because it is made to open on either side and the hinge system prohibits it. My bags that I can easily throw in my other box I have to press and squeeze to fit through the opening and that is a bit of a hassle. Other than that I am happy with it. 595438

Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
This first rocket box I purchased from etrailer had a manufacturing defect. Etrailer propmtly replaced it and it has worked perfectly ever since. This is a great box because it can hold all of our alpine and cross country skis without any problem. Highly recommended. 332231
Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
The cargo box arrived in less than a week-- it went together without need for any tools--everything fit together perfectly-- and it installed easily on the factory racks on my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and rides solidly at 70 mph with minimal wind noise 71812
Review from a similar Yakima RocketBox Pro in Roof Box
set up was a snap , installation was easily done by myself. loaded 90% of my camping gear into it. small amount of wind noise but it hung on and never moved. we literally got it installed it packed it and went camping and for two days it rained. the unit is not meant to be water proof but there was no water in the unit. We absolutely love this unit the key and button design works very well from both sides which if you have a tall vehicle and cant reach over, makes getting to everything very easy. On our Kia Rondo this unit is a winner. 49857
