Roof Rack and Surf/Snow Board Carriers for 2015 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with Raised Roof Side Rails

We have many roof rack options for your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with factory roof side rails that can be seen on the included link. These include racks from brands like Rhino-Rack, Thule and Yakima (among others) and also racks with round, square or aerodynamic crossbars in a range of lengths.

In terms of best overall value and capability I really like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero racks. These are similar to Thule AeroBlade racks in that they greatly reduce wind noise as compared to the basic round and square bar racks. Please note that since you have options with varying bar lengths you can choose a rack whose bars extend out past the rack feet or a rack like the Rhino-Rack # JA7972 which uses shorter 31-inch bars that terminate in the feet. This style of rack tends to provide a more OEM-like appearance but naturally it does slightly limit the width of the items that you can load.

I suggest you check out the linked articles on roof racks and snow sport/water sport carriers since these will help you consider the best options for your particular boards.

For a surfboard carrier I like the Rhino-Rack pads # RRRWP05 which include tie-down straps. For the snow board I recommend their locking carrier # RR573. Both of these carriers work perfectly with Aero bars or any other type.

If you are unsure which way to go or if you have more questions please do not hesitate to contact me via email. Thank you for coming us here at etrailer.com.
