Thule Rapid Crossroad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The seller was great to order from- they called to confirm that I had ordered the correct cross bar size for my vehicle. The package was delivered a few days later, and is exactly what I requested. My only complaint regarding the cross bars is the wind noise that is created that can be heard when my sun roof is open (this is not anything that the seller is responsible for). Otherwise, I am very happy with my purchase. Keep up the good work guys!

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The box works great for us. It is easy to install (even on a SUV) because it is leight weight, and once you have installed your crossbars at the right distance it takes less than one minute to fasten. No wind noices on the highway, no shaking or wobbeling, and we only lost 1 mile per gallon on gas. It is very spacious, and even large suitcases and a stroller and bassinet easily fit in there. I would definitely recommend this box.

Family camping trips can be a little cramped, as even the smallest tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks take up a ton of space in the car--and that doesn't account for the coolers, camping chairs, canopies, and family dog. Enter the Yakima SkyBox 21 rooftop cargo box, which stores a ton of your gear in a single, out-of-the-way location. Designed to fit crossbar spreads as short as 24 inches, the SkyBox 21 includes quick-installation mounting hardware that accommodates round, square, and most factory crossbars. More importantly, the SkyBox 21 offers 21 cubic feet of storage space, so you don't have to cram everything in the trunk or back seat.
Thanks to the drag-minimizing aerodynamic shape, the cargo box won't dramatically boost your gas consumption on long road trips. Other details include a dual opening system that unlatches on both sides for maximum convenience; an extra-stiff lid that vibrates less than other cargo boxes and is easier to open and shut with one hand; an integrated track system for such accessories as a cargo net or base pad; a new lid shape that's easier to grip; an improved security latch that keeps your stuff safe; and a black matte anti-scratch finish. Also equipped with SKS locks, the SkyBox 21 measures 92 by 18 by 36 inches (W x H x D).

Thule 665C Transporter Combination Hitch Mount 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This did what I need it to on a 2000+ trip through the mountains. It was solid but did often scrape on driveway entrances/exits. I agree with another reviewer who thought it sat back too far. Also, it doesn't accomodate a hitch lock. Pretty odd; I guess I don't have that much faith in my fellow man. I ended up getting the thickest elongated padlock I could find and used it as my hitch lock. I had no problems. It's a little awkward to fit in but still doable by one person. It's a very good product

Thule 669ES Mountaineer ES Rooftop Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recommend this product for anyone who needs extra room while traveling and do not want to spend a lot for the extra room. We have a Volvo XC90, however, when we travel with our pet (lab) it allows him to have room in the back and keep all of our belonging clean, dry, and without dog hair. We traveled more than 2000 miles without any problems.

Thule 689USXT Spirit 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just purchased this for my 2007 Honda CRV to give us extra storage now that we have a dog and baby. Installs in 10 minutes with no extra tools - super easy. Fits tons of gear, including a stroller and several duffel bags. Opens easily from either side. The low profile cuts down on wind resistance and lets you get into some (although not all) parking garages. Sleek design and silver color look great too. My only complaint is that my back hatch will not open fully with the cargo box on, even though the Thule Web site says that this box is compatible with my 2007 CRV. Opens wide enough to let the dog in, though, so it's not a big deal.

Yakima Rocketbox 11 Roof Top Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a subie like the pix and liked the look. I thought it would fit, but it's too long. I can only open the back 2/3 of the way. But no worries, it's not like I keep it on there all the time. It was nice to put all the beach stuff up there, and easy to wash out at home. While driving, no noise, no wobble. Didn't notice any impact to MPG. Box was easy to set up, worked well. Totally happy with buy, Yakima is worth it!

Yakima Skybox Lopro 16 Roof Top Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just purchased one of these over the weekend and completely fell in love with it on the first trip to Lake Tahoe. I originally wanted to go with the Skybox 16. My friend had one installed on his Audi A3. When I purchased my BMWX3 I knew I would have garage clearance issues if I went with a cargo box. I was tired of putting wet and dirty snowboard equipment in my trunk space and knew I had to get a cargo box to enjoy my weekends away. Low and behold, Yakima releases this extra low wonder. I snagged the last one at my local rack store. I did hesitate with the price at first. However, being able to park in your garage with the roof car box is priceless. This box is the widest box Yakima offers, so don't expect to install anything else on top unless you have some really long cross bars. Also this box is really quiet on the wind noise. I have experienced many different setups for roof top cargos, and by far this is one of the quietest without the need of any modifications (fairings/strings/bungie/etc).

Yakima SkyBox 12 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent box, opens smoothly with one hand, easy to install and remove. I opened other boxes at REI including other Yakima's and they required two hands to open and felt flimsy. This one installs in under a minute with no tools. One time adjustment to roof rack by screwing in or out the handles to adjust the pressure of the feet that attach to the roof rack, flip the four handles down and the box is locked. Next time is just a flip of the handles for on or off. I couldn't tell it was on the roof of my HHR at 75mph on the interstate. I found myself looking for a shadow to verify. There was no noticeable drag so I don't expect a big change in fuel economy even with my little four cylinder.

Thule Bags Nomad Cargo Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I expected much better quality from Thule. As used according to the manufacturers recomendations, this bag did not even last one trip from New York to Chicago without it's interior lining cracking and completely flaking off. In addition, the back of the bag ripped creating two large holes in the fabric and the zipper attachments became loose and proceeded to pound at the roof of my car. The contents shifted continually during travel making for a loud noise that's not unlike a pouring rain hitting the top of the car. This becomes a terrible distraction while driving. All in all I had a very bad experience with this product and would not reccomend it. Opt for one of the solid constuction type carriers, they cost much more, but are worth every penny. In the end I thought I was saving money with this product but wound up having to purchase a Sears X-Cargo container to replace it for my return trip back.

Thule Mountaineer ES Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had no concept of how long this box was when I bought it. To give you an idea of how large this box is, it is as long as a twin bed and almost as wide. My roommate thought it was some sort of coffin when she saw it sitting on my bed. I bought this box because it was on sale and I was looking for a cargo box to carry skis/poles/boots or paintball equipment. This was overkill for what I needed. (Though probably still the cheapest option at the time.)
Anywho, I own a 2002 Volvo V70XC and this box, though large, works fine. There is a slight overhang in the front to compensate for the clearance for the rear hatch, but nothing that compromises visibility. The only thing that is not so great is that it does not have any sort of quick release clamp system. It has the usual bolt/plate/nut getup. However, my boyfriend and I still installed it with minimal stress in 45 minutes. Our strategy was to pull the cross bars off of the car, attach them to the box (hand tight) and then lift the whole business onto the factory rails and adjust from there. It worked out great. No tools are needed for the installation aside from what they ship with the box.
I would recommend this box for anyone who needs to double their car capacity (by volume), but not for the average camper/skiier. It is a huuuuuuge box, and probably not worth the hassle if all you're packing is a few pairs of skis or some sleeping bags and a tent.

Thule 604 Ascent 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just used this carrier on a 1600-mile round trip from northern Illinois to North Carolina (on a 2005 Astro Van). On the return trip (September 14), we went through extreme hurricane force winds (aftermath from Hurricane Ike) of 75 MPH from all directions in Louisville, KY. The wind downed trees on the interstate, but the carrier held firmly and no rain entered despite an incredible amount of buffeting due to the winds. I was concerned that the sideways and up-and-down effects of severe buffeting might loosen the grips on the crossbar, but the grips were as tight when I arrived home as they were when I left home. I saw two top carriers that had separated from their vehicles and had been run over on I-65...that's how bad the wind was.
When I first got it it fit up well, but one of the saddles that sits on the cross rail broke. I called Thule customer service and they were very nice. They immediately sent four new saddles and said that I must have received one of their earlier units that had substandard saddles. They apparently discovered this recently and were very accommodating. I appreciate their fine customer service, although I am glad I had time to get the saddles before my trip. Suggest that you make certain that you have the most recent saddles.
Shipping service and tracking through Amazon was great, and the price was the best I could find!Thule 604 Ascent 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black)

Thule Ascent 1100 Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Installation on factory roof rack is very user friendly; dial type clamps are easy to position correctly and hold very securely. Box is very stable even at highway speeds--no vibration or rattling and relatively minor wind noise. Dials for clamps infringe a bit on interior box space but convenience of the clamps makes the tradeoff worthwhile. Will hold 3 to 4 pr of alpine skis comfortably.

Thule Ascent 1500 Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Thule Rooftop Cargo Box after seeing them on so many vehicles on my travels across the U.S.. The 603 Ascent 1500 was selected as the size and shape fit my camping needs to a "T". Once I received it and opened the box I was skeptical as it is very light, but feeling confident with the numbers of them in use, I mounted it to my 2001 Subaru Outback. Wow! Easy and Quick! No brainer there! Then it was off to Washington State an over 2100 mile trip.
Well, I am back and only have enthusiastic phrase for this fabulous cargo box! High winds at 75 mph and rain didn't phase it one bit! As far as my gas mileage, I really think it increased! I get 25 mpg normally and I averaged just over 24 mpg! That includes going through the Rockies several times and the high wind on the nose driving! I don't believe I did that well without it. This is a Great Product and I am sure you will be pleased as well! Purchase it, you won't regret it! Amazon gave great service and shipping!

Perrycraft Roof Rack for 2001 - 2006 Ford Escape Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this roof rack set for a 2006 Ford Escape. I just want to point out that this is a generic roof rack and although it will fit a 2006 Ford Escape, it is not made for a Ford Escape or any particular type of vehicle for that matter. In addition, the description and the documentation included state that it is an easy installation. I don't not consider drilling holes in the top of my vehicle easy. These do not fit on the Ford OEM pre-installed rails on the Escape. I will say the product seemed to be sturdy enough to warrant a 3 star which I consider average, but I would not recommend it unless you are comfortable drilling holes in the roof of your vehicle.

Inno Stream Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this carrier for an Audi A4. The other sleek looking carriers were way too long. We used this on a road trip up and down the east coast. It held up very well and came home in perfect condition. Don't plan to pack large suitcases in it as the depth is shallow. It was perfect for smaller bags, duffles, boots, etc.

Yakima SkyBox Pro 18 Rooftop Cargo Box (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)the skybox arrived quickly and was installed in less than 5mn. It's amazing how much stuff can be put in it. It is robust, silent (even at 70+ mph), and I didn't feel any drag or loss of stability with transverse winds. I really like the net and carpet that came with it as they are really useful to maintain kids toys in place, or my climbing gear.
I would recommend it again and again!

Thule Ascent 1700 Cargo Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well worth it for the extra space or skis and boards. Out-of-the box had it on my Nissan Pathfinder in 5 minutes, great latching design. My guess is that it will fit almost all autos with cross bar roof racks. Loads of space, does seem a but long, the 1600 is a bit shorter and might look more proportional to my Pathifinder, this 1700 is probably best for the Tahoes, Escalades, and Yukons out there. In any case, awesome product, and Amazon has the best price and arrived (via some shipping company, not UPS) in about three days, pretty fast. No shipping issues for me.
