Leader AccessoriesRoof Rack Cargo Basket with 150LB Capacity Car Top Luggage Carrier 64"x 39"x 4" Fit for SUV Truck Cars

Fully recommend this product. Well designed, easy install. No wind noise up to 70 mph with windows up no music. Net works excellent. Have not used waterproof bag, but it looks like loading it could be a pesky job even though it seems like quality material. Rack with the middle insert rides great on my 23 Imprezza. But lining the front faring angle with the windshield puts the tail end past the hatchback hinge so the hatchback hits the rack when open. We were gentle with opening the hatchback so no damage, but I'm going to pad it somehow for protection. Gas mileage appears to be taking about a 10% hit from 32 to 29 mpg carrying a tarped bicycle on its side in aerodynamic position based on 600 mile trip over a cascade pass. Estimate only because lots of variables play in. Well worth the increase on a trip basis, but I'm taking it off when not in use. I'm going to try to make a hanging garage shelf out of it when not in use to make storage a plus instead of a negative.

This isn’t comparable to a high end cargo basket like Thule or Rhino Racks, but it got the job done. The assembly was quick and easy, if I had to guess, it took me roughly an hour or so to put it together and install it on the roof of my Subaru Forester (with the help of my father in law, brother, and nephew). The fabrication is pretty flimsy but it was good enough to hold light weight items like coolers and luggage that we needed to make space for on our camping trip. I wouldn’t suggest placing anything heavier than about 90lbs on it. The clamps on it shook loose after driving the interstate, but as long as it’s weighted down that should prevent it from moving or going anywhere. I don’t plan on making it a permanent fixture so I didn’t use any locktight or anything. The clamps are held together with screws that have plastic bearings over them so the best you can do is hand tighten them as hard as you can with three fingers and hope for the best. Overall because of the price to quality ratio I give it 4 stars.

Excellent quality especially for the price. Assembled fairly easy but it was slightly askew which took a little finagling to get together. Still fairly easy though. I don’t like that the clamps that go on the crossbars have no padding. It is hard plastic on the top and a metal bar at the bottom. I went to Home Depot and got some rubber liner stuff that is designed to go on a pickup truck between the bed and a camper shell. It cost like $10 for a big roll. It’s not super adhesive or thick but suited my needs well and I have lots left over if the pieces I used get messed up. For the metal bar I bought some clear plastic tubing and slit it down one side to wrap the metal bar with. It doesn’t offer a lot of protection but is better than metal on metal. As for the rest of the basket, it’s great. It’s nice and big and easy to install. I accidentally spray painted the big obnoxious “ROOF RACK” logo and installed the wind breaker backwards so you can’t see it at all. It’s a shame people won’t be able to see “ROOF RACK” when looking at my roof rack, but that should be easily avoidable as long as you don’t make my mistakes. We just drove like 150 miles with it loaded up and it was solid. Definitely recommend.

The rack itself is very sturdy, good-looking, and well designed for its price point.Assembly went more smoothly than expected, despite some grumblings about the instructions.I’ve used this basket on both a 2023 Mercedes GLB and a 2023 Ford Edge. The hardware fits decently well on the rack, though it’s about half an inch away from perfect spacing on each bar.Paired with a roof bag, it’s a game changer. Easy to take on and off, and it won’t give your car an identity crisis—it’s fairly lightweight.Assembly ChallengesWhile the main assembly and extension were straightforward, the side flares caused a bit of drama. Some of them had scratches out of the box (probably from their wild party in the warehouse).Aligning the holes for screws felt like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. QA missed a beat here.The U-bolts should’ve been slightly longer.All in all it is a good sturdy unit.

This worked perfectly for my Toyota Tacoma - here is the Rack system I used (also from Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L2TCNP4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Contrary to what others say, this fits the Tacoma with both the extended and short format. With the extended format, it does cover the Satellite Radio antenna, but, surprisingly, I got XM just fine for nearly my entire trip, even with the thing fully loaded as shown. I did not think the XM radio would work, especially when fully loaded.With this rack installed and loaded as shown, I drove 2200 miles (Austin->Telluride->Austin) including some hard-core off-roading in the San Juan mountains and had not a single problem. Everything - the rack, the cargo bag and the net - worked perfectly. It is quite loud, but that is a small detail for me. Definitely worth the money. We did get rained on during our trip home, and the cargo bag worked great - all of the things we wanted to keep dry were in there, and nothing got wet. It holds more than I thought it would.

Easy to attach to roof rails, sturdy and doesn’t make a loud sound
