Expert Reply:

To carry the Thule Canyon XT Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT on your 2005 Dodge Caravan you will just need a roof rack (if you don't already have one). The Thule basket is compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.

Should you have the factory installed tracks that front to back I recommend the Yakima roof rack which consists of their JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 4 # Y00224.

For a 2005 Caravan that has the factory installed rails that run front to back I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Roof Rack which consists of Vortex Crossbars, part # RRVA126S-2 for Silver or part # RRVA126B-2 for Black, and the SX Series Legs # RRSX100.
