XCAR Roof Rack Basket with Extension, 64" x 39" Rooftop Cargo Carrier

This roof rack is the best you can get at this price point! Very Sturdy, not too heavy to lift up on roof rack, The largest size fits well on top of my Mazda CX-50, and makes the car look awesome! So handy to have extra space for cargo, especially for camping.

I haven't used the rack yet, so this is only an assembly and fit review. Overall, this is a great rack and good value for money. It assembles about as easily as I would expect. A couple screw threads were not well aligned, so it took some finagling to align the pieces. It fits the Subaru Outback 2018 fixed spacing front-to-back crossbars at 30". If you're rails can't be spaced at one of the distances below, then it won't work for your vehicle. The front-to-back crossbar mount, center-to-center spacing options for the full, extended rack assembly are: 29.75", 33.25", 36.75", 40.5", 44" (tolerance of about +/- 0.5". For example, 29.25" to 30.25") The attachment to and removal from the vehicle is great. I was able to take it on and off in less than 5 minutes on my own. I'm a male, 5'6" and not that strong The threads for the attachment to the vehicle are a tad long even though the thumb screws help protect them from full exposure. I may cut them to be a bit shorter or put a rubber cap over the top of the threads when in use. Otherwise, it's like to rip the fabric of luggage. I expect there will be rust points on the rack since most racks of this style will have them. I intend to only keep it on when I need it and be sure it dries if it gets wet. I may spray it down with an additional rust prevention coating in the areas where rust typically occurs (welds, openings, assembly areas, screws, and nicked areas from use). Get out there and have a great adventure!

The not so great up front. If the cross bars on your vehicle are not adjustable you may have some issues. The cross bars on my 2019 Toyota Highlander are fixed and measure about 25" apart. Where the brackets are in the pictures are the only sections that line up properly. Each of the big gaps are about 5.5" and don't accept the brackets. For me this means the last section of the rack will be unsupported. I plan to put all my heavier stuff up front, we'll see how that goes. I was looking for a roof rack that was a little bigger than the typical 30x40" racks. It went together very easy and the three sections feel very secure together. The bracket is hard plastic so I plan on putting some foam between that and my cross bars before cranking them down. It will only be used occasionally, taken off and stored between trip. Not sure how it will hold up being out in the elements long term. As a budget-priced rack (compared to Rhino and Thule at least). It should be a good option. After I've taken it out a few times I'll update my review.

This is exactly what I was (you are) looking for. Seems to be a solid cargo basket, except for the space between the metal extension and the front and back sections. I wouldn’t put any weight directly in the gap. The directions are very simple to follow, but I did use my own Allen tool since this came with a cheap Allen that stripped on the first bolt. Mind the 150 pound weight capacity of this cheaper version. If your car has factory installed roof mounts be aware that it probably isn’t far enough apart to give you the most perfect support. But it fit onto my RAV4 adventure almost perfectly. It looks great and Instead of buying one with a logo on it, I’ll be buying a sticker to put on the front that fits my style. I’ve attached some pictures for you to feel a little more comfortable about it. The most negative feedback I could give, is that it makes a ton of wind noise if you plan on keeping it on your daily driver. NOTE: For the wind deflector, make sure that you put the clips on the right side, and in the right direction. There are three for the bottom which are a larger diameter, and three for the top which are a smaller diameter. The directions don’t specify this and if you start screwing in you’ll have to take it all apart to fix it. To that point, make sure that the side of the clips with the holes are on the backside to hold the nut in place while you tighten the wind deflector down. See photos.

I bought this in the middle of summer for a road trip from coastal California to Austin Texas and back, with detours through parts of New Mexico and back into Arizona. I have not taken it off since. Assembly was very easy to do by myself on an elevated workbench and the install was easy as well. I coupled this with a L51” x W41” x H18” rooftop carrier bag. The rack took 2 suitcases, and XXL dog crate and several other bags (within the carrier bag) with no issues for a 3200+ mile road trip and is still solid as ever. It has since been used on several camping and family trips and has found a permanent place on the roof, I originally intended to use it only when necessary but it has a great look in addition to its utility. I would definitely recommend this as an inexpensive and solid option to the name brands.

What a great roof cage for this price point. Assembly was pretty easy and the instructions were great. I put on a bronco sport and love the look. Not a super tall cage but perfect additional storage. Did not notice any noise from this rack and didn’t seem to affect gas mileage. Overall extremely happy with this cage.

I got this for my 2018 Subaru Outback. When it arrived I was afraid that it would be too big, but it fit just fine without any issues. I originally wanted it to carry a full size tire. I've tried it and it works fine! I'm about to move so I will be putting luggage and boxes up there for now. I didn't rate it really high because I haven't put it to the test. All the hardware came and it was really easy to assemble and install. It took me 20 to 30 minutes. It's been more than a month and the rack has held up great. I recently moved and put two coffee tables on the rack and everything went well. I then tried three bar stools to it and had no issues. I've been through several car washes also. No evidence of rusting or issues going through the wash itself. I threw a full size tire on it and again no issues. Overall pretty happy with the rack's performance.

We got this basket because with 4 kids, including 16 month old twins in monstrous car seats, we had very little cargo space left in our minivan. It was not particularly difficult to put together, but did take more than two hands. The directions while not particularly wordy, are sufficient to get the job done. It does take at least two people to get the fully assembled rack up on top of the car without tearing everything up. We have a minivan, so we did use the extension pieces. Attaching the basket to the cross bars wasn't difficult, but did require some measuring and planning. NOTE that you WILL need crossbars of some sort for your vehicle - this item is NOT supposed to sit directly on the roof of your car! I would suggest getting a bungee cargo net, or a rooftop bag to go in the basket. Overall, the basket has worked well for us and enabled us to do take enough luggage to go on a longer trip than we would have been able to otherwise. We are pleased with this purchase.

Used it to go camping twice and for other various in City needs. Easy to put together and has held on great. There are a few rust spots that popped up at the joints but it’s gone through a lot of heavy rain this summer. Would recommend
