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…
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…
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…
