You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) #Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar…
Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out. I can definitely recommend some parts, but we will be cutting it very close on the clearance between your roof and the garage. The roof rack itself will clear fine, but the ski carrier is the part that will be…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hi Elliott! The Inno Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket - Channel Mount - Aluminum - 46-1/2" x 32-1/2" #INXA568 will definitely fit on your 2016 Honda CR-V. It fits a crossbar spread of 20" to 35", so with you having 31", you are…
I sure can Kathy. To add a set of crossbars to the rails on your 2024 Ford expedition Limited, I recommend the Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack for Raised Rails item #TH32ZA in black or item #TH22ZA in silver. These flush crossbars will attach directly…
Hi Carlos, thanks for reaching out. For the 2025 BMW X5 50e Hybrid with the M Sport package, the Stealth Hitch #SH25VR is the best choice. It comes with the hitch, rack receiver, and towing kit. It keeps the look of the vehicle clean, works perfectly…
The Inno Shadow 15 NBRA1170CA and Inno Wedge 660 #INBRM660BK are functionally almost exactly the same, as you noted; with a weight capacity of 110 lbs, 11 cubic feet of cargo space, dual side-opening lids and Memory Mount hardware. However, there are…
Hey Randy, so this is a great question but like basically all roof top cargo boxes the Benton Shellraiser #B44FR isn't considered waterproof as that would mean it would have to keep all water out if it was submerged. It's going to do a great…
Hey Tommy, thanks for reaching out! The Benton ShellRaiser #B44FR and Thule Sidekick #TH78GC have the same interior space, but that's about all they have in common. The ShellRaiser is actually a better design due to it having dual-side access a…
Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out! Here are the internal dimensions for those cargo boxes you asked about, as well as a snapshot of the whole file that Yakima has on their website (and a link to it!) concerning box sizing: - Yakima CBX LG #Y63QD -…
The Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box #Y07336 has a Black Carbonite finish and is an older model of SkyBox while the Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box #Y45AV has a Black Nano-Texture and features a more modern style that matches better with…
Hi Robert; I don't have the instructions for the #IN94FR available but I reached out to Inno to see if they can send me the file. Their website wasn't much help either since they have "Not Available" listed under the installation…
Maximize Your Adventure with Extra Large Roof Boxes
Extra large capacity roof boxes are perfect for those who need to maximize storage space for long trips or family vacations. They offer ample room for gear, ensuring a comfortable ride by freeing up interior space. Despite their size, many models are designed to minimize wind noise and maintain fuel efficiency.
Extra large roof boxes can slightly alter vehicle handling due to added weight and height. However, most are aerodynamically designed to minimize wind resistance and noise. It's important to ensure proper installation and weight distribution to maintain stability, especially at highway speeds.
Yes, due to their size and weight, installing an extra large roof box typically requires two people. This ensures safe and secure mounting, preventing damage to the vehicle or the box. Some models offer user-friendly features to simplify the process, but assistance is generally recommended.
Dual-side opening roof boxes provide convenient access from either side of the vehicle, making loading and unloading easier, especially in tight spaces. This feature enhances usability and efficiency, allowing you to quickly reach your gear without having to reposition the vehicle.
Extra large roof boxes are designed to withstand various weather conditions. They typically feature weather-resistant materials and secure locking systems to keep contents dry and safe. Proper sealing and durable construction ensure that your gear remains protected during rain or snow.
When selecting an extra large roof box, consider your vehicle's roof rack compatibility, the box's weight capacity, and ease of installation. Also, think about access features like dual-side opening and how the box's dimensions will affect vehicle clearance and handling.
