Review: 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.
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit a 2013 Outback? Do I need any other hardware that is not included to attach it to the 2013 Outback?**
A: It should fit. I used it on a 2010 Tucson. You shouldn't need anything else to mount it. Comes with everything and love that it opens from the back, not on the side. You'll love it. Little expensive, but we'll worth it. Just need to make sure you have cross bars. Danny

**Q: Will it fit a Subaru CrossTrek?**
A: It DOES NOT fit the Subaru Crosstrek (2015) w/ OME Subaru aero bars. The U bolt is too short and the holes are drilled too wide. Will need to drill new holes, get longer u bolt, or buy new crossbars.

**Q: I have a 2015 Subaru Outback. I'm hearing about this cargo box making excessive noise on Subarus. Does anyone have anything more on this topic?**
A: I just ran 5,000 miles with this box on top of a 2015 Outback. Had no problems with annoying sounds from it, even in winds and 70+ mph freeway speeds. There is a slight whooshing sound that I only heard when I specifically listened for it.

**Q: i have a 27 1/2 inch load bar distance, will the rack tie down on my rack? The description says minimum loadbars spread of 23 3/4", what is the max ?**
A: Hi Christine, Yes, it will work with your bar spread. The maximum bar spread for this box is 29 3/4". Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable Car roof box
*by A***C on December 20, 2025*

My husband and I mounted this thing for a trip that we are going to take. The next day, we went to a doctor's appointment in east LA, and entered a parking structure with extremely low clearance. woops! We heard this guuurr-- uf .... then we would drive a few yards ... then there would be a gurrrrr --- uf then drive a few yards , then gurrrr -- ufff .... you get the idea. Basically we were stuck there, in the middle of a parking structure, at the medical school at USC ... I was basically ready to kiss 400 something bucks goodbye. When we finally made it home, we did a thorough inspection in the daylight, to see if any of it penetrated the top of the shell. I was amazed. There was not a single hole. There was a huge dent though, but one solid punch undented it. My husband went out on this dewey December morning to see if any moisture had entered the cabin, and he said that it was completely dry. So Yes, that is another plus. My only disadvantage is that it unlocks from the back. I simply can not access it. I am not tall enough. We are either going to have to move the crossbars way over or do something about the antenna or I don't know what. This container only holds around 100 lbs. It is good for holding blankets and some sporting goods. Just don't overdo it.
