Roof Box Recommendation for a 2017 Toyota Prius  

Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/05/2025

Question:

I have a 2017 Prius 2 and have OEM Toyota crossbars installed. Would Benton Shellriser fits for installation? I am also considering Thule Sidekick. What is your recommendation considering quality, durability, and price between the two roof cargo boxes? Thank you.

Hey V, thanks for reaching out!

The Benton ShellRaiser Roof Cargo Box # B44FR is better than the Thule Sidekick TH78GC, but neither of them will be able to fit the spacing of the crossbars on your 2017 Toyota Prius - they are just slightly too small to fit.

Instead, I recommend the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box # IN86FR which is a little larger than the 2 you're looking at and can fit the wider crossbar spread.

The pricing of all these boxes can be found on their product pages.

Hey V, how did the Inno Ridge cargo box work out with the crossbars on your Prius? Your feedback could really help others comparing these roof boxes for similar setups.
