Question:
I have a 2016 Audi Q5 with of course, flush rails. In your opinion, what would be a better cargo carrier....the Rhino Rack RRRMFZ66 or the Malone Cargo 16? Also, which roof rack would you recommend for the one you recommend? I really appreciate your help...what a great website!

Expert Reply:
When comparing the Malone and Rhino-Rack cargo boxes I recommend Rhino-Rack. Malone is more of an entry-level product line while Rhino-Rack is more of the mid-tier brand and quality - so while they both might be priced around the same and have similar features, I can guarantee the Rhino-Rack is built better.
I then recommend pairing this with the Inno roof rack system for the flush rails on your 2016 Audi Q5 because they have great quality at a mid-tier price-point as well. This means for your setup you need the following parts:
- Rhino-Rack MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box # RRRMFZ66
- 54" Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB138-2
- Inno Through Feet # INXS450
- Inno Fit Kit # INTR138
