Question:

Will this rack fit on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk with the rhino rack stealth crossbars? I have been getting conflicting reports from rhino rack and was hoping someone maybe a definitive answer. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket part # RRRMCB03 will require about 1" from the top of the roof to the bottom of the crossbar in order to work with the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack like part # JA7972 on your 2017 Jeep Cherokee.

If you don't have this much space you can either change out the crossbars with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100 or choose a different cargo basket, the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket part # SPS4550-1101 which attaches directly to the raised side rails. The Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack is best used with track mounted accessories which is not an option for a cargo basket.
