Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of taking up space in your car with camping gear, sports equipment, and other items when driving to your destination? Turn to this SportRack A90275 rooftop cargo carrier, which offers 18 cubic feet of space--plenty of room for luggage, tents, golf bags, boots, and other gear. The rear-opening cargo carrier mounts to any rooftop crossbar, and includes a U-bolt mounting bracket for easy attachment. The ABS single-shell construction, meanwhile, is durable and long lasting, helping it hold up to bumps in the road, swipes from branches, and general tough handling. The A90275 carrier--which includes a single lock mechanism in the rear--measures 38 by 19 by 63 inches (W x H x D) and offers a maximum load of 110 pounds.

 


Customer Reviews

So far a fantastic deal5
Was very easy to mount on the Sequoia, and feels pretty sturdy (and watertight). Absolutely no wind noise or rattling could be heard inside the vehicle at 75 MPH. I bought it because the width and height makes it better for carrying family stuff than comparable size Thule or Yakima boxes, though it's not long enough for skis. Low price is a huge bonus. I also like that it opens from the back instead of the side, since on my tall vehicle the easiest way to reach the box is standing on the rear bumper. I looked at the big name boxes, and I can't see how they are worth 2.5x as much.

**UPDATE** Have now taken on a few long trips. It did not seem to affect gas mileage at all, and stayed dry inside through 300 miles of downpour. I have to take it off to fit in the garage, which would be true of any box, but I can get it on or off in less than 10 minutes. I fit 2 carry-on suitcases, 4 sleeping bags, a stroller, a full-frame baby backpack, and a small baby bouncer seat inside.

Nice product. Recommended.5
Got this delivered via ABF Freight in about 1 week after ordering. Used Amazon prime so shipping was free, not sure how much it would have been otherwise.
