Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide - 165 lbs
I purchased the Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar systems for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk with factory raised rails and panoramic roof. The crossbar systems are well away from the panoramic sunroof and poise no issues or touching with the sunroof opening or closing. When the sunroof opens, it drops down and slides back, again never touching any part of the Vortex SX rails or feet. Then I added Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket/XTray Large measuring 57" Long x 42" Wide. Both were easy to install, very stylish, and practical. I did a lot research for cross rails and cargo basket and I am very pleased with Rhino Rack Vortex SX crossbar and the Rhino-Rack Roof Cargo Basket from eTrailer.com
It is a mixed bag. I'll start with it did NOT fit on a my 2021 4runner with factory rails and crossbars. But the rack is not going back, I'll buy new rails and try it out. The assembly went smooth enough, though the rubber sleeves between the two pieces are difficult to maneuver and I actually have a partial tear in one. Also, I was missing one rubber spacer and one nut to attach the fairing. I got a nut from [home improvement store] and will have to go back for the rubber spacer. That is kind of a big deal but not a killer. The killer is 1) the bottom of the mounting hardware will not fit under the crossbar without rubbing the roof. At some points it won't fit at all. 2) When resting on the crossbars (which have an arc to them, the center bars running front to back on the basket rest touching the bar which prevent the mounting rails (the double rails on the left and right of the basket running from front to back) cannot rack the mounting hardware. 3) even if they did reach, the basket touches the factory rail covers. There are two possible solutions: 1) find hardware that has a smaller bottom plate (or break out the dremel) and create some shims above the mount to reach the basket and lift it off of the rail covers. or 2) get new crossbars that are a little higher and flatter. The problem with option 1 is I don't know how reliable that would be and how good it would look. The problem with option 2 is the cost of the basket (~$[XX]) plus new crossbars ($[XX]-[XX]) I could have ordered a complete new rack system like Victory, Prinsu or LFD.

Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 52" Long x 48" Wide
The MegaWarrior is a great Roof Rack. The only thing I didn’t like was the fit to the roof rails. My rails that I purchased from you are shaped like aircraft wings and the basket clamps seem to be designed for round rails. However I was able to complete the attachment and the rack remained secure for a 2,000 mile trip.
Took a few months to get because covid-19 slowed production but worth the wait. It's awsome

Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs
I am very pleased with the quality for the price.Just the right size for my 2017 Chevy Trax.the "U" bolts that are used to clamp the basket to the roof cross bars were a bit long so I cut them shorter & installed rubber caps on top of each stud. This keeps the studs from damaging items in the bssket.See pictures.
The reason I bought this basket is due to gas prices. I have a 4X4 suburban I use for camping and hunting but it takes a small loan to fill up the tank. Actually this basket cost less than it does to fill it up. So my thought was if i can get all my gear on my daily driver then i could save some money and maybe even sale the burb. So i gave it a shot last weekend. The rack was easy to put together. I had it out of the box and on the roof in under 30 minutes. As you can see in the pic, i have a rather large ice chest, chain saw, 6 man tent, gas stove and my chair on the roof. My camping destination was about 3 hours away. First was a hour of highway driving at speeds around 70. No issues there. Then 2 hours of windy back roads. No issues there either. The basket made it possible for me and my two kids to load up in the car and head to the hills for three days. The plus for me was it only takes 50$ to fill up the car. :-) I had the max weight in this basket with no issues. I'm very happy with this basket.

Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs
Greetings, I am giving these items 3? Because I was offered alternative products that did not fit together. Originally, I intended to purchase a roof rack cargo basket type and a spare tire holder from Yakima manufacturer that go well together, but one of them wasn’t in stock. So, after 3 weeks waiting time, I was offered alternative items via etrailer website, and I accepted them…after all, they are the experts. I got the recommended items through UPS, then I assembled them by myself. The roof rack cargo basket fit well on my car, but the spare tire holder was not compatible with the roof rack cargo basket. They couldn’t be assembled together. I submitted my claim to return the spare tire holder. Now, I have not achieved my goal to carry my spare tire. Understanding the needs and expectations of your customers is critical to maximize customer satisfaction. I am sure both products are good, but they are not compatible together, even though they were manufactured by the same company. Distributors should know better! I returned one item and I hope to be refunded.
It was a breeze to install on my 2018 Ford Explorer. Two reasons why I bought this. #1 the price for the size of the rack #2 The ability to adjust the universal mounting brackets from front to back or length wise. I had tried another brand rack but the mounting brackets were from side to side and did not line up with my fixed cross bars. I used silicone to seal all the connection points. I have not seen any rust as of yet. I like it so much that I might sell this one locally and upgrade to next size up.I've had compliments on the appearance also. with the plus up sized tires and the rack. It has given the Explorer a sportier look. I definitely would recommend this rack to anyone.

Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 58" Long x 23" Wide - 165 lbs
This is the perfect rack for the 2021-2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness! Very Well Made! Perfect size without the extension, allowing the trunk to be opened without obstruction! My only grievance is the knobs used to “lock” it down. I understand the reasoning of being able to have a tool-less removal, but I think most would prefer to have a bit more security INCLUDED, where the knob system can be used as a “key” then removed leaving just a three sided nut or something unusual that most folks don’t have in their toolkit. As it stands now, anyone can just see the knobs and figure out they can just unscrew and steal your set-up (see supportive pictures). My advice: Be prepared to take the $75 plunge and buy ONE SET of locking brackets. MY thoughts: you can probably get away with one set of two brackets to lock it down. I put mine diagonally, one in front and one in the rear to HELP protect the whole setup. Just my 2 cents! With all that said, this is NO FAULT OF ETRAILER. They provided EXCELLENT Customer service and I received ALL THREE ITEMS ON THE SAME DAY (within 3 days of order) AND IN PERFECT CONDITION! A+++
Great service fast shipping very easy at etrailer product was exceptional. Easy install with quality products

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
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.
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!

Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide
Well done Yakima and etrailer. Great product and great service. The product is well made (in Taiwan....not China) and the parts and instruction video made it relatively" easy to install. Two people helps to install it more readily. The wind diffuser in the front greatly reduces wind noise. All in all very happy and glad I bought through etrailer. Service was excellent and delivery prompt.
I am very happy with both the initial quality of the Load Warrior and how nice the eTrailer people are to deal with... The product seems well thought out and there are a bunch of accessories to mount most anything...
Flint Hill Goods Roof Cargo Basket Review - 2021 Ford F-150
How's it going everybody Today we are going to be taking a look at the Flint Hill Goods Cargo Basket and how it fits on our 2021 Ford F-150. Typically, this might sit on the roof, but in our case we have it on the bed rack system that we have installed on our F-150, just 'cause that's gonna make our items much easier to get to and we can still use our bed while getting this up on top and increasing the storage space overall of our vehicle. So let's take a closer look. Our basket is gonna be made out of durable black powder coated steel. The whole construction is going to be that material, so it's gonna hold up really well against rust and corrosion, and all of these points, including the top and bottom rails as well as the rails that go through are gonna be points where we can strap things down to, which I definitely recommend. And we have strap kits here available at etrailer.

The basket's going to be made of black powder coated steel, so it's gonna be durable, rust and corrosion resistant. And that means that top and bottom rails, all these side rails, and the rails that run through to support our items are also gonna be able to be used as tie down points.

Yakima Roof Basket Review - 2009 Ford F-150
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby. And today we're taking a look at the Yakima OffGrid Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket here on our 2009 Ford F-150. Now obviously this isn't on our roof, it's on the bed of our truck, and how we're doing that is gonna be a little special something called this RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover with the T-slot track on the sides. So this guy is amazing, however, it's not what we're showcasing off here today. This is just simply what's allowing us to use our OffGrid, of course, giving us a nice little crossbar system to go ahead and run across and actually go ahead and clamp this on the bed of our truck. What's great about this, you're getting that tonneau cover, right, but you're also getting this maximum space here.
Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket Review - 2009 Ford F-150
Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby. And today we're taking a look at the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof-Mounted Cargo Basket here of course, in the bed of our 2009 Ford F-150. Now while this is a roof-mounted cargo basket, you guys probably noticed we have it here in the bed today. That doesn't mean you can't throw it up on your cab. However, you are gonna need a different mounting system. So you can see here today, we don't have any rail systems.
What our customers are saying:
"The trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier is an outstanding accessory. It allowed us to bring so much more on vacation. The side rails made securing things really easy and the auxiliary taillight kit plugged right into my plug. The service was so great that I just ordered a trailer hitch cover for the winter. Thanks!"
