Hey Denny, Yakima cargo boxes like the part # Y63QD, # Y73QD, # Y93QD, and # Y43QD don't have stated weight capacities which means as long as you stay under the weight capacity of the vehicle's roof rack you'll be fine. Worth mentioning is that Yakima roof racks are rated for 165 lbs so if you wanted a hard number I would go with that.

Hey Denny, how did things go with the Yakima Skybox on your roof rack? Did the 165‑lb limit give you enough capacity for your gear? Your update could make it easier for the next person choosing a roof box setup.
