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.

Great product. Easily puts together and I was able to install on our 2016 Toyota Highlander OEM roof rails with no problems. The mounting brackets slide to make for a easy fit. Have taken it on two long road trips with zero issues last summer one to the montains and one to the beach. Was able to fit our jogging stroller on in the basket. Had some heavy rain on one trip and seen no signs of water getting into the rails as that was a concern of mine when researching the different racks. The high sides allowed for easy tie downs for the weather bag we put the stroller in. Seemed to add a little road noise with nothing in it but that is to be expected when hauling things on the roof but the wind deflector seemed to keep the noise down. Easy to put on and off with a single person able to lift it. Great product, great fit for the car. Plan on using it for some more upcoming trips.

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.

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...

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.

The Yakima OffGrid medium rack arrived yesterday at about 10:30 a.m. It was fully unpacked/assembled/installed by about 11:45. etrailer did a fine job of communicating/pricing/delivering and supporting this good product. I've been using Yakima products (and others) for biking, paddling, fishing etc. for about 45 years. This rack is a serious solution to a variety of uses of a roof rack. I will be able to use it on various vehicles and for a number of applications (sports, chores,travel etc.) It has more flexibility than most racks and I can't imagine a more durable, quality design. My particular needs, being in my "Dotage", are met by the ability to remove the cross bars and fairing for an open platform, or keep them on and custom fit to a spare tire, or bike rack, kayak rack etc. The attaching mechanisms drew my attention. I put this on the car with solo and with caution using a protective mat. It is very manageable and easy to fit. These mechanisms for tightening down on the crossbars bring the added value (and cost) to folks like me that don't want to spend a lot of time and effort installing a rooftop rack. I wanted secure, solid attachment with simplicity. The OffGrid delivers! No pain killers needed after the install! This "Medium" OffGrid is more than adequate for my initial uses. The internal and external dimensions are pretty much ideal for this 2017 Sienna. A full size spare tire will fit just right. A nice fit for a canoe as well. I admit to scouring the internet and considering dozens of products from baskets to platforms and this OffGrid showed a lot of promise. Its versatility and ruggedness competes with the best designs at about half the price of many. My thoughts included the extension bracket, but the medium OffGrid really does meet most of my expectations and needs for various applications. Now, to the matter of noise. There is wind noise. However, for me, it simply blends into the symphony of white noise that comes with highway travel (and the ringing in my ears) :)......Of all the racks, bikes, canoes,kayaks ladders, lumber, etc., etc. that I have carried on car tops, the wind sounds of this carrier are negligible. The fairing is a nice, well thought out feature that works well. So, my five star rating is for both the product and the vendor. Once again "eTrailer" has proven themselves to be one of the best sources of such products nationwide. Their product information efforts are an industry leader and they deserve credit for providing extremely helpful product reviews and explanations. That's what got me to choose them on this purchase. Those of us well into our "Dotage" appreciate learning all we can!

Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.

Love it! It's big enough to fit a bike carrier and a cargo bag on top of my MINI. Easy to assemble and install, solid construction. Great value for your money. If I have a gripe it's that the wind fairing on the front is VERY thin/fragile. I caught it with my bike tire when loading one day and the corner snapped right off like nothing. It's only about $XXX for the replacement.

I love the rack and the extended length is great on my Sequoia. I am disappointed with the finish on it as the connector plates are already showing signs of rust….. I like it enough that I’m going to repaint it with something more suited to our climate…

The rack and extension arrived in sturdy boxes, well packed and no damage in shipping. The parts fit together easily. The welds left something to be desired, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. As a precaution against corrosion,I got some plasti-dip, which is a rubberized vinyl sealant and sealed all the places where moisture could get into the various tubes of the rack. I was satisfied with the quality of the powder coating on all the parts. The mounting system to the roof rack is interesting and appears well-designed. The assembly and installation instructions are OK, but could have been written better. For example, there is an extra tightening knob for the U-bolts, but no description if it is there as a spare.

This is a great product. As described, easy to assemble, light weight. I needed a solution to carry my spare tire for my 2020 Forrest River NOBO 16.2. The NOBO line comes with Rhino tracks to put accessories on them. The camper has the tire mounted on the bumper, but I needed space for a bike rack. I ordered Aero Bars and mounts from etrailer, and this basket as well as the tie down. Worked Great!!!

This is a great basket! It's very light and durable. I can pick it up easily in one hand even though it's pretty big. I have this basket on my 2011 Yaris and it holds 3 duffel bags full of clothes, a folding vacuum, highchair, 2 camping chairs, a longboard, skateboard, a four foot folding table, and another smaller folding table. I've had a few instances where the basket slipped sideways but that was because of extremely hazards roads in Kings Conservation Area in California and getting ran over by half of a tree tumbling down the road and over top of my car in a down burst from a monsoon in Phoenix. This basket has seen about 8,000 miles through 24 states in the last year and I intend for it to see at least a dozen more this year.

I just installed this basket with the extender. I am totally pleased with it's quality and easy of assembly. I did ask etrailer about the fit for a 93 Wrangler with a Smittybilt rack (pics included). I was told that the rack without the extender would not fit so I ordered the package. They were correct, it had to have the extender but not for the reason they told me. the spacing between the rails for the rack were OK but the middle rail on the rack placed the brackets for the basket directly over the cloth top frame and they rubbed, which would have worn the top. I am glad I ordered the extender. One thing: I tried to order the light bracket kit but it was OOS so they told me they would not send anything until those were in. I needed the basket now and did not want to wait for the entire order(and pay interest on my credit card). I cancelled the order and then did reorder just the basket and extender later. Now I will have to pay shipping on the light brackets. In all-I love that basket-it looks great, the fit and finish is perfect and it's strong beyond expectations.

Thule Roof Basket Review - 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
Adam: Hi everyone, Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Canyon XT Roof-mounted Cargo Basket on our 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. This is going to be a great addition to your Subaru, to just clean up a lot of your luggage that you may have inside your cab here, and just leave more room for all of your passengers, and you as well.It is going to be able to work with a lot of different sized bars. We are going to have a fairly easy and tool-free install to get this mounted onto your bars. And we are going to have little guards here that are going to go over those knobs, just slide it out like so. And you're just going to be able to just tighten those down by hand so you don't need a tool to get this installed or to remove it from your roof rack system.And as you can see here, these are just simple twists to lock it into place, but we do have locking cores available here at etrailer.com.
Subaru Crosstrek Cargo Carriers Questions
- Yes, the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Roof Rack by Rhino Rack will fit your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. This rack consists of:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2
- Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX100
This roof rack would allow you to use the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT you were looking at.
view full answer... - Roof top cargo baskets are not an item that is fit-guided for specific vehicles because they are designed to be pretty universal to adapt to different styles of cross bars. That being said, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT would be the most appropriate size to avoid interference with your hatchback.
The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT measures 49" long, I have included a picture of this rack on a Subaru Crosstrek so you can get an idea of how close...
view full answer... - Yes, the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 12 cu ft - 47" x 37-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB350 would be a great fit for the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT. The Rhino-Rack Bag has slightly smaller dimensions than the Thule Cargo Basket so they would work well together. This bag is waterproof like you wanted and includes 6 integrated tie-down straps to be secured to the cargo basket; this is the cargo bag I recommend for your application...
view full answer... - The Inno # IN569 Shaper 100 roof basket is only compatible with square profile crossbars that measure no more than 1-1/4 inches wide by 7/8 inches tall, so unfortunately it won't work with your existing roof rack.
This being said, I do have a similarly-sized Inno roof platform that would work for you. The Inno # INA510 Roof Deck 39-1/2 x 43-1/4 is compatible with round, square or elliptical crossbars, so it'll work just fine with the crossbars on your Crosstrek, as long as...
view full answer... - Yes. The Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide x 7" Deep - 150 lbs # 288-09200 is designed to fit on aftermarket and most factory roof racks. The Subaru factory bars are a fairly standard size that are designed to fit virtually anything you can throw at them, so as long as they're not over 2" tall x 4-3/4" wide this basket will fit.
If you have bars that are larger than 2" tall x 4-3/4" wide please let me know and I can look for an alternate solution.
view full answer... - I have a recommendation, but the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT is not my first choice for carrying lumber mainly because of the wind fairing and the size. While the basket can be expanded to 70" long with the extension piece # TH8591XT, that is still not long enough for your lumber, and you'd have to load it at an angle, because of the lip where the wind fairing is at the front.
To carry lumber I prefer the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070-74. This rack has a...
view full answer... - Yes. The Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 is confirmed by Yakima as a fit on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid as long as you have between 24" and 32" spread between the front and back crossbars. This basket will fit on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.
Additionally, the other option you mentioned, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs Item # TH859XT-8591XT would work for your vehicle, but might present issues in allowing...
view full answer... - For your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior, part # Y07070.
It's compatible with most factory and aftermarket roof racks, so whichever you have on your Crosstrek, this will most likely work. Its inner dimensions are 38-1/2" long x 38-1/2" wide and it has a weight capacity of 140 pounds, so you'll be able to carry quite a bit in it.
I've linked to a video review of this basket below.
view full answer... - The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 53" Long x 49" Wide part # Y07139 will work out perfectly with the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs part # RRRS381 and with the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack part # JA7954 which is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.
view full answer... - Luckily the Yakima RailBar Crossbars part # Y00448-0449 has the appropriate tracks on the top of the rails and is just wide enough to accommodate the attachment points of the Inno Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket part # INXA568. The edges of it are going to be about even with the outside of your crossbars and will look really nice.
view full answer... - In order to use the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT on the roof of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek I recommend using the Thule Square Load Bar System which is composed of part # TH712400 and part # TH710401 if you have the raised factory side rails.
Unfortunately, we have not yet installed Thule basket on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek so I would not be able to confirm whether or not it would interfere with the factory antenna though experience would leave me to believe...
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT will fit your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7502B-TH7503B. In order to lock the basket to your AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack you will also need the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450400 but they are not required.
I have attached a review video of this basket installed on a Crosstrek with similar roof rack for you as well.
view full answer... - We do have a cargo bag that will fit nicely inside the Thule Canyon Roof Basket # TH859XT-8591XT.
The best of these is the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S50 because it gives you the optimal amount of cargo carrying capacity and because it is waterproof which is going to keep all of your gear dry as a bone.
The etrailer Roof Cargo Basket measures just over 31 inches wide on the inside, and the Rightline Cargo Bag is 30 inches wide, so it optimizes how...
view full answer... - Yes, the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 will fit the OEM crossbars of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.
view full answer... - Yes, we currently have one type of cargo basket that attaches directly to the raised side rails on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. For this, you will want to use the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket part # SPS4550-1101.
This basket has a 250 lb capacity (check vehicle) and is made of durable 3/4" square tubing right here in the U.S.A. There are also tons of accessories that are designed for this basket such as the Ax and Shovel Carrier part # SPAX100, Spare Tire Carrier...
view full answer... - The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT comes with U-bolts, but if you are looking for replacements, the correct size for mounting to the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars is the Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Canyon and Thule Trail Roof Cargo Basket - 50 mm x 90 mm # TH84FW.
view full answer... - I have a great solution that will give you both a roof cargo box and awning to fit the factory roof rack of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek but we don't have anything that will attach to a Thule Canyon XT.
You can use the Rhino Rack Sunseeker Awning part # RR32133 but you'll have to install a Pioneer Platform tray on the bars of your vehicle. So you'll need the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform - Universal Mount - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF to attach to your crossbars and then attach...
view full answer... - The Inno Shaper cargo baskets can either attach to the top channel of a crossbar or by clamping around a square bar. We have great cargo baskets that do fit the bars of your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek but none from Inno.
Instead I would recommend the Yakima OffGrid roof basket part # Y07138 which is a confirmed fit will work great. The dimensions are pretty similar at 44 inch by 40 inch, it has a fairing to keep down wind noise, and has crossbars built into it for if you ever wanted...
view full answer... - When installing the Yakima Boa Roof Mount Bike Rack, # Y02065, the tube sleeve is used between the front plastic fork mount and around the bar that the mount connects.
Due to the size of the Yakima LoadWarrior's, # Y07070, crossbar the sleeve is needed to ensure the mount will remain tight after installation.
view full answer... - Because we have several good options, finding the best roof basket for your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek is mostly about finding the right item with the right fit that serves your needs.
The Curt Roof Basket, Item # C18115, you referenced is a solid cargo carrier that includes a fairing which reduces wind noise and drag. It is easy to install, clamps on to roof-rack bars, and works with most factory and aftermarket roof racks. It is 41-1/2 inches long x 37 inches wide x 4 inches...

What our customers are saying:
"The hitch and the carrier came in much earlier than expected. The cargo carrier assembled in a few minutes. The hitch went on like a glove. I was very satisfied with it's quality. My salesperson was very helpful and made sure that I had the right things. Overall, I was very pleased."
