Question:

Will Rhino Rack Euro 2500 be compatible with Thule Cargo Box Force

asked by: Mike

Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack 2500-Series roof racks can include either square Euro crossbars, their Vortex Aero bars or their heavy-duty rectangular bars. The Euro square bars and the Vortex Aero bars both are fully compatible with the Thule Force XT Cargo Box # TH6356B. The heavy-duty cross bars # RB1250 are not.

The Thule Force XT requires that the spread between the crossbars be at least 23-5/8-inches. As long as the rack has this minimum spread and uses one of the two compatible bar types it will work fine. I have linked a video to illustrate the features of this quality USA-made cargo box.

If the vehicle is fairly tall you might consider using a tire step like # HE4040 to give you easier access to the box for loading and unloading. The Topline step comes fully assembled and simply slips over a rear tire to give you a height advantage; it folds for easy storage inside the vehicle.
