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.

This carrier is large and fits a lot of stuff! It is sturdy enough to get the job done and far cheaper than other brands. It mounts to my Thule rack system with a little wiggling to get the holes in the right spot, but not too much trouble. It's light enough for one reasonably strong person to toss onto the roof and bolt it down with the tool-less gear (metal plates on both sides of the plastic, U bolts and hand-tightened large plastic "nuts"). It went through some serious downpours on the highway and came out dry inside. I think it took a rock strike as there is a scuff but it didn't crack or anything. I didn't want to spend 2x or more for a Thule brand carrier so held my breath and went with this option. I am very happy with it.

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. 🚗💨

I have just received this rear opening box. This will serve my purpose well. This is not for skis or snowboards but for typical camping or vacation cargo box. The documents which came with it, suggests that it is a Thule product under a SportRack. This is spacious and seems durable for its price. Hardware was in the cargo box and the key was taped inside of the packing box. I am going to mount this on my 4Runner and will see how it holds against the elements.
