Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2006 Lexus ES330

Expert Reply:

The roof rack that I recommend for your 2006 Lexus ES330 is the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack which consists of parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK099 . The aluminum Aero load bars will reduce wind noise and drag while maintaining a weight capacity of 165 lbs.

Keep in mind, the weight capacity of your roof may be different from the weight capacity of the roof rack. I recommend either checking your owners manual or contacting your local Lexus dealer to determine the weight capacity of your roof before loading any cargo.

We have cargo boxes and a basket that will fit on your ES330 with the Rhino Rack roof rack. For a basket, you can use the Thule M.O.A.B basket, # TH690XT. For a cargo box, you can use any Thule cargo box that suits your needs. The Sidekick Cargo Box, # TH682, is a smaller cargo box with 8 cu ft of storage. If you want a larger cargo box, you may want to take a look at the Force XL Cargo Box, # TH625. This cargo box has 17 cu ft of storage and it measures 84 inches long x 34-1/2 inches wide x 17 inches tall.

I have attached a link to all of the Thule cargo boxes for you to check out. I have also attached video demonstrations of the Rhino Rack roof rack and of the cargo boxes that I recommended.
