Rhino Rack Roof Basket Review - 2018 Hyundai Tucson

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson we're going to be test fitting the Rhino Rack roof mounted steel cargo basket, part number RMCB.The Rhino Rack rooftop cargo basket enables to carry your luggage, your sporting goods equipment or your camping gear on the roof of your vehicle and freeing up space inside your Tucson. There's plenty of space to store your gear and the straps do not come with this, although you can purchase them on etrailer.com.With everything installed, we're not going to have an issue of clearance between our hatch and the cargo basket. As you can see here, there's plenty of space.The overall dimensions of the rack are going to be 47 and 3/16 inches long by 35 and 3/8 inches wide by 5 and 1/2 inches deep, and has a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights and go by the lower number.The cargo basket has a nice aerodynamic shape to it, plus it has this fairing at the front and that's going to help cut down that noise while you drive. However, when you have a fully loaded cargo basket it more than likely will make some noise while you travel.Right now we have it installed on aero bars but this will also work on square or round elliptical and most factory roof racks. This does have padding at the bottom where it makes contact with the roof rack so it won't get scratched up or anything like that. It's a very simple installation where you have two screws on either side that tighten down and grip it around the roof rack itself.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof basket, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
