We do have a large selection of roof cargo baskets that will work great with the factory roof rack on your 2018 Chevy Suburban.
A lot of what goes into selecting the right roof basket for you will depend on exactly what and how much of it you are intending to load into the unit. With that being said I really like the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. This is a really sturdy basket that features a couple of sleek design choices that contribute both to its function and its appearance on top of the roof of your vehicle.
The Canyon XT # TH859XT features tapered side walls make for a really streamlined look but they also allow for easier loading since you don't have to reach over high walls. The fairing and low-profile wedge shape also help to reduce drag and wind noise while again providing the look of a basket that came with the vehicle right from the factory. It has a weight capacity of 150 pounds and measures 49 inches long, 40 inches wide, and 6 inches tall.
I have attached a short video demonstration on the basket that you can also check out.
To secure your cargo to the basket the Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps # TH523 will work well.
