Cargo Carriers & Storage Accessories

The type of cargo carrier you choose will be based on your needs and if it’s compatible with your vehicle, so consider the size, your vehicle’s hatch clearance, and fitment. Review your owner’s manual for the recommended maximum load for your vehicle. Most cargo boxes have a weight capacity of about 150 to 165 lbs., but always check the manufacturer’s manual for the exact weight limits.

If you’re transporting small and light cargo, opt for a roof bag. It’s easy to store between uses and it's ideal for occasional use. Roof baskets are good for carrying camping equipment that can easily be secured with tie-downs. For hauling larger items, go for a car roof box. They are waterproof and offer locking capabilities to ensure your cargo is safe and secure. For more information on choosing the right cargo box for your vehicle, see our guide on How To Choose A Rooftop Cargo Carrier.

What accessories are sold separately from cargo carriers?

All rooftop cargo carriers require a roof rack with cross bars installed on your vehicle. Other accessories you may need for your cargo carriers are cargo nets, tie-downs, and bungee cords.
