  • Will the Thule XT Roof Basket Extension Work for a Honda Roof Basket?
  • I confirmed with my contact with Thule that the Extension Piece for Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH8591XT will fit your Honda roof basket if it is the identical model to the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. My contact confirmed that Thule has made baskets for Honda in the past. If you can provide me with the model number of your Honda Roof Rack, I would be happy to provide you with a more confident answer.

  • Roof Mount Cargo Basket Options for a 2007 Subaru Impreza Without Crossbars
  • I may have a solution for you, but most roof mount cargo baskets, including the Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, use crossbars as the attachment point on a vehicle roof. The only roof baskets that we carry that do not require crossbars are the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 rooftop cargo baskets like part # SPS4550-1101. These baskets come with integrated crossbars and the feet clamp around raised roof side rails. The basket I referenced measures 50 inches long x 45 inches wide. You will want to...

  • Will the Extension for Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Fit Other Roof Baskets
  • The Extension for Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18117 as the title states is for the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115. Therefore, I cannot confirm it will work with your Haul Master Roof Mounted Cargo Basket. I would be happy to try this out for you but we don't carry Haul Master products either. The best option we can offer you if you need more space is to sell your Haul Master Roof Mounted Cargo Basket and then obtain the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115-117...

  • Recommended Roof Basket For A 2021 Toyota Tacoma With An OEM Roof Rack
  • With an OEM roof rack on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma, you will have a lot of options for a basket. According to Toyota, the OEM crossbars are about 44" apart. So a larger basket like the Curt # C18115-117 will fit very nicely. This will fit a crossbar spread between 22" and 50". Generally the prices for the Curt baskets are appealing as well. We do offer baskets on lots of other sizes. With the 44" crossbar spread, you are limited to the larger sized baskets. It really comes down to what all...

  • Best Locking Roof Mounted Cargo Baskets
  • I do have similar roof mounted cargo baskets that can be locked to the vehicle's roof rack but the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115-117 does not have this feature because it is more of any entry level, economy roof basket. If you must have one that can be locked to the vehicle's roof rack then I recommend taking a look at the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT-8591XT with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450400 or the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack...

  • Roof Rack and Roof Basket Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Prius V
  • In order to carry a roof basket on your 2013 Toyota Prius V, you will need to start with a roof rack.

Then for a roof basket you could use the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket, # RMCB.

  • Replacement Roof Cargo Basket For Highland Basket
  • Thank you for the photo of your Highland roof cargo basket, as well as the dimensions you provided; unfortunately the extender you mentioned will not fit as it does not have the correct dimensions. Extenders are specific fits to cargo baskets, so there isn't an additional extender available for your Highland. To get the length you need, the best option really is a new cargo basket. Thankfully, you can get a really nice basket with the longer length you need with an option from Yakima: -...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Aluminum Cargo Basket for 2013 Kia Rio 5 Door
  • For your 2013 Kia Rio 5 door, to add a roof basket you will first need to add a roof rack. I recommend the Inno Aero Roof Rack # INXB100-108, # INXS200, and # INK608 which is a custom fit for your vehicle to mount to a naked roof (no side rails). The rails will be 27-1/2 inches on center. I've attached the installation details to assist. Then for an aluminum roof basket, we have the following options: Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 44" Long x 39" Wide x 7" Deep # 288-09200 Thule...

  • Can a Roof Mounted Basket Support a Roof Top Tent
  • As long as the weight of the tent is within the 150 pound capacity of the Thule basket, # TH859XT, and the weight is evenly distributed I don't see why it couldn't support a roof top tent. The roof rack and vehicle roof will also need to be rated high enough for the roof top tent. Rhino-Rack baskets # RMCB and # RMCB02 are rated for 165 pounds but again you are limited to the lowest rated component whether it be the vehicle roof, the roof rack, or the basket.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendation for 2006 Toyota Tacoma with Naked Roof
  • To install a cargo basket on the roof of your 2006 Toyota Tacoma will first require you to install a roof rack as there aren't any baskets that can attach to a totally naked roof. For that we have the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK174 that would work well. With that installed you could then use the Rhino Rack roof basket part # RMCB which would be a great choice. This basket measures 47 by 35 inches and would be a great option.

  • Best Cargo Basket for Rola Roof Rack on 2011 Kia Soul
  • We do have cargo carriers that fit the Rola Roof Rack 59842 but the Curt Cargo basket does not fit. The Curt cargo basket only fits bars up to 3 inches wide and the Aero bars of the Rola rack are 3 1/8 inches wide. Please keep in mind the Rola roof rack part # 59842 fits a 2011 Kia Soul with a naked roof. The best cargo basket option for the Rola Roof Rack is Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 62" Long x 39" Wide Item # Y07070-74 because it fits the Aero Bars of the...

  • Attaching Accessories To A Roof Top Basket
  • Unfortunately the design of the Tyger roof baskets will not allow any accessories to be attached to the basket. A basket that would be able to handle accessories attached to the rack would be the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide, part # Y07138. It comes with two adjustable accessory bars that can be used to separate your load or attach a bike rack to the basket. This basket is 44" long x 40" wide x 7" tall with a weight limit of 165lbs. It can attach to aftermarket...

  • Recommendation for a Roof Cargo Basket on a 2011 Toyota Tacoma with Factory Roof Rack and Crossbars
  • I can help you get a roof basket that will be compatible with your factory roof crossbars. It is important to choose a roof cargo basket that will be able to adjust to your factory roof rack. The way that the Rola basket # 59504 clamps are attached to the rack restrict it to certain crossbar measurements and it will not accommodate your 34 inch spread. I do have a few recommendations that will fit your needs. Rhino Rack offers a Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02, very close to the dimensions...

  • Roof Cargo Basket for a 2014 Honda Ridgeline with Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack
  • For your 2014 Honda Ridgeline with Thule AeroBlade roof rack you have a number of options. The Thule AeroBlade uses Aero bars which is a popular style of roof rack which means there are a number or products that are compatible with them. Personally I like the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138. This cargo basket is compatible with your AeroBlade roof rack and provides what I feel like is a more aesthetically pleasing appearance than other cargo baskets. Some other features of this...

  • Recommended Roof Basket for 2010 Subaru Forester with Roof Rack
  • The Inno Aero Roof Rack # INXB130-138 (Crosbars), # INXS250 (Feet) & INK393 (Fit Kit) on a 2010 Subaru Forester with a naked roof has a crossbar spread of 28", and there is a great option for a roof basket that will work for you with this rack.

This basket will fit your crossbar spread and is is 44" long x 39-1/8" wide x 6-1/4" tall which gives you plenty of room to add cargo.

  • Thule Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2006 Jeep Commander with Thule Aeroblade Rack

  • Will Thule TH859XT Cargo Basket Interfere with Roof Mounted Antenna on Roof of 2011 Kia Soul
  • Regarding the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT and your antenna: Generally speaking, the roof mounted antennas are typically angled rearward, which coupled with the fact that the bottom of the basket would sit about a 1/2 inch above the top of your crossbars would usually prevent the antenna from getting in the way of a basket or roof cargo box. Since the basket is a total of 49 inches long, my best advice for you would be to hold a measuring tape at 49 inches up to the roof, centered on the...

  • Does Roof Basket Have an Extension?
  • There are similar baskets with extensions available, but none that will work with the Reese or Rola Roof Cargo Basket . Instead, I recommend checking out the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115 and adding Extension # C18117. This is a 21" extension which will make the Curt basket a total of 61-1/2" long x 37" wide x 4" deep. The Curt basket will fit on most roof racks so long as the bars are spaced 15", 22", or 29" apart on center and have dimensions of up to 3" wide x 1-5/8" tall.
