Will Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Roof Mount Cargo Box # Y07192 Fit a 2011 Toyota Highlander

Question:

Will the Yakima RocketBox Part #Y07192 Fit on top of my 2011 Toyota Highlander Limited vehicle? Is there a weight limit for this item? If the height is 16, is the suitcase height limit 15? Is there a better fitting cargo box? Thanks,

Yes, the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Black Cargo Box, # Y07192, will fit a 2011 Toyota Highlander as long as it has factory crossbars that run side to side on the roof of the vehicle. The box itself weighs 38 pounds. You will need to consult your owners manual for the capacity of the roof and the roof rack and go by the lowest rated part in the system.

There also may be a sticker on the rack that states its capacity. To calculate the the box capacity, take the weight rating of the roof or rack, whichever is lower, then subtract 38 pounds. My contact at Yakima stated that the inside dimensions of the box are 73 inches by 32 inches by 15 inches. The maximum height of an item in the box would have to be 14 inches or less.

The RocketBox is a popular item because of its compact design and would be a good choice for your Highlander. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for reference.
