What Rooftop Cargo Box do You Recommend for My Rhino-Rack Crossbars on My 2005 Dodge Dakota?

I have a great cargo box solution for you. I looked up your recent order with us (thanks so much!) and discovered that you have the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-490B. With the aero-styled crossbars on this system, unoftunately you will not be able to use the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carier - 9 cu Feet # TRX44FR. This is because the mounting clamps on the Trunx are not big enough to grasp the 1-1/2 height of the aero bars.

A great alternative is the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - 8 cu Feet # TH78GC or the larger SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - 18 cu Feet # SR7018. Both of these roof boxes come with an aerodynamic design to reduce wind resistance and saving gas mileage. Also, the Thule Sidekick has a maximum weight capacity of 75 pounds, and the SkyLine XL has a maximum weight capacity of 100 pounds. As with all cargo carriers, I recommend confirming with your vehicle's user's manual to confirm your roof can hold that much weight.
