Question:

Will the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket mount to the side rails of a 2017 Ford Explorer with the T-Brackets or are crossbars required?

asked by: Wes S

Expert Reply:

The Thule # TH859XT-8591XT Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket is designed to attach to crossbars.

I'd recommend a Rhino-Rack crossbar setup, which is assembled using the following parts:

• Rhino-Rack 54 inch aero crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2
• RCH Roof Rack Legs, part # RRRCH4
• RCP Fit Kit for Roof Fixed Mounting Points, part # RRRCP45-BK

With the rack in place, the basket will bolt to the rack. I've linked to an install video showing the basket being installed on a 2018 Ford Explorer.
