  • Great Cargo Box for our 2200 mile Adventure Great Cargo Box for our 2200 mile Adventure
We bought this to use on my 2017 Subaru Outback for our 2200 mile, 4 day road trip when we recently moved from CA to IL. It was easy to install, and fit on the crossbars perfectly. It was fairly lightweight too. I drove with it on my car for about 3 weeks while it was empty, prior to our trip, even though I know I wasn't supposed to, and it was fine (all local roads, no highways though). It held all 3 of our suitcases plus some pillows and blankets. It was a huge help for storage during the drive since my car was packed, as I had two 30 inch pet cages in the back with our 4 cats in them. We moved in December, so we were bound to encounter some sort of weather, and boy did we! On day 3 of our drive we were headed into a huge snow storm that spanned about 600 miles, which was to be our whole trip for that day. We wound up going north and out of our way to avoid driving in the snow storm all day, but we still drove in it for about 6 hours. It held up great, and the inside stayed dry even though the outside did get a good amount of snow and ice on it. There were a few hours where the roads made the drive really bumpy due to all of the ice and snow covering the ground, and it didn't budge or loosen up at all (we checked to ensure it was still secure every night when we stopped at our hotels). I was averaging driving about 65 - 74 mph during the entire trip, and it didn't seem to be a problem. My husband was driving his car behind me the whole time, and he said when I went over about 75 mph he noticed that it would shake and bounce around more, so I tried to stay below that (but honestly I went up to 80 mph at times when passing a truck for example). I noticed that on the 2 lane highways whenever a semi truck would pass me going the opposite way, my whole car would shake and I was really worried that the lock would break or that the cargo box would go flying off my car, but it held up great and did it's job. I would often slide the cover for my sun roof open so that I could check on it and see the bottom of the cargo box from through the glass, and I noticed that it would bounce slightly as I was driving from the wind but again I was going about 70 mph most of the time so that was expected, and it didn't cause any problems. I did not notice any wind noise at all, however I did get about 5 mph less average gas mileage than usual. It was very sturdy and got us and all of our stuff to our destination. I am happy to have it now for any future road trips, and would definitely recommend it as an inexpensive, sturdy cargo box. ... show more

  • Trunk Space? Never Heard of Her 😏 — This Box Hauls EVERYTHING
I didn’t realize how chaotic my packing game was until I slapped the SportRack Vista XL on my roof and suddenly became that organized road trip person. You know, the one who isn’t playing trunk Tetris while everyone else is waiting? Yeah. That’s me now. First off—this thing is BIG. Like, “why did I ever struggle fitting luggage before?” big. We loaded it up with suitcases, random camping gear, and the usual “just in case” items, and it still had room to spare. If you’re the over-packer of the group (no judgment), this is your new best friend. No fabric, no zippers to worry about.. The rear-opening design is a low-key genius move. No more awkward traffic-side balancing acts trying not to get clipped by a car while grabbing your stuff. You load and unload from the safer side, and honestly, once you experience that, there’s no going back. Installation? Way easier than expected. I was mentally preparing for a full DIY meltdown, but it mounted up without drama. It’s sturdy, stays put, and doesn’t sound like a haunted suitcase flapping around on the highway. And let’s talk durability—it handled highway speeds, wind, and a questionable rainstorm like a champ. Everything inside stayed dry and secure. No soggy clothes, no shifting chaos. Just… calm, organized travel energy. A couple things to keep it real: It’s not feather-light, so you might want a second set of hands to get it on your roof. It’s not the fanciest-looking box out there—but it’s practical, and honestly, it grows on you. Bottom line: if you need extra space and want to stop cramming your life into your backseat like a packing gremlin, this cargo box delivers. It’s reliable, roomy, and makes road trips feel way less stressful. 10/10 would absolutely overpack again. 🚗💨 ... show more

  • Great assist! (Note the lift direction) Great assist! (Note the lift direction)
I was able to fit four full-sized cots, mats, a tent, and plenty of sheets and blankets in this cargo bin. It was great—easy to install on my 2015 Pathfinder- and just as easy to take down after the trip. It stayed secure during a two-hour highway drive and back with no issues. Notes: The bin opens back to front, which can make accessing the cargo lock a little tricky (a stool or bucket helps). However, this design actually makes installation and removal of the bin easier, and it allows loading supplies from either side, which was very convenient. The locking latch and hinges don’t feel the most durable. That said, the latch stayed secure for our entire trip, and since we only plan to use this once or twice a year, it is fine for us. If you plan to use a cargo bin frequently, you might want to consider investing in a higher-end model. But for casual users who want something spacious, easy to install, and reasonably priced, the SportsRack XL is an excellent option. ... show more

  • Great product - tons of space, no regrets Great product - tons of space, no regrets
If you're on the fence about getting this or going with a much pricier brand, don't hesitate, get this one. I scoured reviews online for this company and went back and forth about this vs. the big-brand roof storage companies that were easily $100-$500 more. We've only done one trip with it but i have zero regrets about this purchase. Delivery was quick and easy. The item isn't that heavy but it is so big it is awkward. We used it on my 2019 VW Atlas, with another amazon non-brand cross bars purchase to attach to the factory raised roof rails. Fit perfectly on my SUV, i bought this after reading other reviews about what it can hold etc. it was quick to install, just awkward to hoist onto a tall SUV, but easy with 2 people (we are both tall). It easily fit 2 adult 156-160cm snowboards, 2 kids boards, 4 pairs of boots (2 in boot boxes, for size reference) 2 helmets and some towels. Just an FYI - if your car is tall and you're not, it'll be hard for you to lock and unlock or you'll need a step stool. I'm 6' and I could NOT reach to unlock it from the top of my Atlas but my 6'4" husband could just barely. When your back hatch is closed it is hard/awkward/maybe not possible to stand on the back of the car so height came to our advantage. Loading is fine from the passenger doors. I've rarely ever had stuff on the roof of any car so I mostly just flashback to a sketchy surfboard experience, but this trip was FLAWLESS. Barely even any noise, definitely the noise was only noticeable when listening for it. It didn't interfere with kids sleeping, conversation, or my sanity. The lock seems small/ possibly easy to break into, i have no clue if it is or isn't, it isn't heavy duty feeling, but I'm not planning to leave stuff in the rack on the roof besides when driving. ... show more

  • Large but not too big, waterproof, carrier that made the family road-trip a breeze. Large but not too big, waterproof, carrier that made the family road-trip a breeze.
I purchased this for a last minute family road-trip to the beach with the dog. It was NOT hard to mount on our Subaru Forester. We bought BougeRV roof rack cross bars to mount it to. The carrier did NOT require ANY tools to mount it on the roof rack. Just a steady set of hands. If you have 2 people mounting the carrier, it makes it twice as fast. The storage capacity is great! I was able to get the dog's 6 sided pen and 4 medium sized soft carry-on type luggage bags in there along with two medium sized dog beds. It gave us ample room in the car for extra storage and leg space. My Beau did most of the driving at speeds of 65 to 75 miles an hour. There was little to no wind resistance and little to no noise at that speed. In fact the only time we realy noticed the carrier was across bridges where there were heavy crosswind gusts of more than 50 miles per hour. It also rained on our way to the beach. No issues there, everything stayed dry. :-) All and all, I feel like it was a solid purchase for the price. I can see us using this for years to come. Oh, the only real CON that I can recall with this carrier is the hinges that hold the carrier lid up. If you don't pull the carrier lid up equally on both sides, it has a tendency to cause the lid to open lopsided. It's not a serious issue, it's just slightly inconvenient. To remedy the situation you just pop the other side up. The nice thing is the hinges hold the lid up from the sides far enough that you can access the carrier from the back or either side of the vehicle. ... show more

  • Good Size, Good Price, Durable, Waterproof - but not the best mounting hardware.
While this product is not perfect, I give it 5 stars in the context of the fact that it is half the cost of what you'd pay for a similar cargo box in a big-box store. In addition, this particular model has more usable dimensions than most. I got this to mount on my 2012 Honda Pilot as we were running short on storage space when going camping with the family etc... and it fits perfectly - as in it does not obstruct the sun roof nor interfere with the rear door when raised. This cargo box is wider than most which makes it very useful - i.e. you can fit more suitcases and stuff of that nature than you could with the long skinny types that seem like they're meant more for ski trips. My wife took this thing half way across the country in several rain storms and water was not an issue. It was also loaded to max weight capacity and seemed to handle it fine. So the PROs: Durable Water Proof Good size The only negative (and please excuse my lack of experience with car roof-top cargo boxes) but mounting it and unmounting it is kind of a pain. Maybe they're all like this. Wish there was some sort of quick-latch system, although I realize that would pose a security problem with thieves. To partially alleviate this annoyance, I permanently adhered the mounting plates (both inside and out) with weather strip adhesive so I didn't have to deal with a bunch of loose parts every time I took it on and off my car. I did quite a bit of research to figure out what kind of glue to use - be sure to use a urethane based adhesive that allows some flexibility. I wouldn't use epoxy or construction adhesive. The ideal would be windshield adhesive, but it is quite expensive. Second best was weather stripping addhesive by 3m which is what I used and it has held up really well. Obviously, don't permanently glue the bracket plates until you line it up to your roof rails and mark all the correct positions. Also don't do this if you plan to use it on multiple vehicles of differing sizes. Be sure to do the proper preparation of sanding and alcohol cleansing After that I Plastidipped the mounting plates and brackets for added grip and protection. Worked great and made it easier to mount and unmount. Overall a great product (and a good deal when compared to competition.) ... show more

  • Didn't experience what everyone else has so far. Didn't experience what everyone else has so far.
I bought this topper because of the extremely good reviews. But I was unfortunately disappointed. First of all the topper did not fit my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. In the defense of SportRack this was mostly problem with the car. There were only 3 settings that I could set my racks to on the roof and the closest together I could get them was still not close enough. So leaving in 3 days I did not have time to find and order another one so drilled new holes in the topper to make it fit. Take that for what you will. If you want to say that all of the problems following were because of that then so be it but I fail to see how that has any affect on what happened next. At that point I was still happy with the purchase. Installation was very easy. I left it on the roof for about a week to just test it out before hitting the road for a 2500 mile road trip. No issues driving around town. When I went to load that thing the night before is when I started getting frustrated. The lock didn't unlock very easily and required me to pull back on the plastic to get it to release. I also had to leave the keys in which weighed it down. This really exacerbated the extremely weak support arms. They would not stay up for the life of me. Anytime I would bump the box the weak sides would give and the support arms would drop the lid. Very frustrating. I also did not like the rear load that everyone is raving about. There is no way to reach the front of the topper and therefore you have to get a step ladder and move it to the side to move items up front. Then you have to move the step ladder to the other side to get the items up in the front on the other side. I had to get to step ladders and leave them on each side. I was constantly going up one ladder then the other. Not fun. The opening of the topper is not conducive to fitting 18 inch tall items. I was trying to fit a 15 inch tall tub and I had to slide it in sideways and even then it barely fit. Again the sides gave way as I was trying to squeeze it in. I was careful not to over pack the topper and the one heavy container (35 to 40 LBs) I put up there I put directly on one of the racks. I loaded lifevest, foldable chairs and some towels in trash bags. I used the stickers to cover the remaining holes. Once loaded and closed I thought that it might work. The next day we departed on our trek from Texas to Minnesota. Anyone that has driven this knows there's long sections across flat plains with wind and 80 MPH sections of I29. Before we could even get to Oklahoma my parents who were driving in a different car called and said something was getting sucked out of the topper. So I pulled over and one of the trash bags had gotten sucked thru the opening. Can't be very water tight if that's happening. I removed the trash bag and we continued on our way. But as we approached interstate highway speeds (75-80 MPH) again I was called by my parents stating the topper top was separating from the bottom. Using my mirror you can see the picture my wife snapped of what it looked like. Top should be completely covering the bottom and instead there is a 1 inch gap. That's not very water tight either. So I stopped and put 2 bungee cords over the top. Pretty raggety if you ask me even for the "cheap" cost of $300. I'm glad I did because 100 miles later it poured and I mean poured. My items did stay dry as far as I know but I did not unpack them until a day later when we arrived in Minn. That was not even the worst of my problems. The most frustrating one (and the only problem one can debate may have been caused by the misfit of the topper) was that when I got to interstate speeds and a little gust of wind would kick up the topper would begin to bounce. Anyone that knows anything about aerodynamics knows that the shape of this thing is similar to a wing. So the topper would lift slightly and when the gust hit it and a I'd hit a bump it would just start banging on the top of the car. When I would slow down there would be no problem. But do you understand how frustrating it is to take a 2500 mile trip with a 10 month old and a four year old and have to drive 15+ MPH under the posted speed limit? If you don't I'll tell you....IT BLOWS. My 10 month old puked all over before we even go to the highway. We had to change him 5 times the first day of driving. I'm not talking diapers, I'm talking outfits because he soiled them thru. I did not need this added distraction. I was constantly watching in the mirror to see just how fast I could get to before it started flapping around. Luckily the hardware held and I didn't push it too hard so it made the trip both ways. There were definitely bugs all over inside the topper and the little stickers to cover the holes didn't last. Lastly, and not the toppers fault but on the way home a hotel we stopped at had only a parking garage...Good luck parking there with this thing on top. Pros: It is big, It does lock, Was easy to install, and priced cheaper then Thule or others. Cons: Needed bungees to make it water tight, Could not be driven at normal highway speeds, was a bitch to load and unload, poor support arms and barely functional lock...You get what you paid for. I probably will sell this thing and get a Thule or one of the bags that just sit inside the rack. I saw some of the Thule's that people had were bouncing around too. Anything shaped like that that allows air to get under it could have those issues at some point. But at least they could go the speed limit. ... show more

  • Excellent budget choice for road trippers
Bought this box (XL) for 3000 mile road trip. It did exceptionally well and survived extreme rain, extreme heat and wind under full load conditions. Definitely would recommend. A piece of advice (not this box specific, but in general) - have a ladder handy because loading and unloading this on an SUV is challenging. Pros: - size - we were able to fit 2 full suitcases, 1 carry-on and a bunch of sleeping bags, smaller bags etc - durability (survived 3000 mile road trip going from southern US to the lakes and back). We went through a couple of very heavy storms - the box did great, no leakage inside) - aerodynamic - only minor effect on our MPG Cons - these are not really cons, but more of concerns that we had before the trip, however the box survived well despite them - Installation was ok, but our crossbars were too wide for it so I had to drill additional holes for the brackets. - only one lock in the back of the box, I wish it had additional clamps or straps. I've seen people on the road wrapping this exact box with a strap. Although we didn't need this on our trip, I will incorporate this for future. - feels a little flimsy, but again it didn't affect the performance. Getting large suitcases out of it was tricky as resting them on the side of the box bent it a little. ... show more
