If I purchase a Rhino Rack roof top bag, do I also need to purchase a roof rack / basket like it shows in the video?

The Rhino Rack roof cargo bag part # RRLB500 does require a basket to attach to like the Rhino Rack you see in the video which is part # RMCB.

Another option is a cargo bag that does not require a basket like the Rightline Gear Sport 3 # RL100S30 which actually can fit on a totally naked roof.

I attached a review video for all three parts mentioned as well.

If you wanted to go the basket route you'd need a roof rack installed as well like the Malone part # MPG215 for versions of the vehicle that have raised side rails.
