Yakima Racks has recently launched the latest generation of Yakima RocketBox cargo roof boxes, now called the Yakima RocketBox Pro gear box series. Already a household name and the most popular car roof rack mount luggage gear boxes ever, this latest version of the Yakima Racks Rocket Boxes delivers significant improvements and innovations while still retaining very affordable prices. Lighter than ever and now UPS shippable (a dramatic advancement in shipping costs and delivery speed compared to the normal tractor trailer freight method required of virtually all other cargo boxes), the RocketBox Pros now all feature dual side opening lids for convenient access from both sides of the vehicle. Over-size push button easy opening as well. Yakima locks and keys are also included for locking the roof box to the car and of course all gear and equipment inside the carrier. Three models are available – the 8007192 Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 roof box (with 14 cu/ft cargo capacity and dimensions of 74″L x 33″W x 16″H), the 8007191 Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 roof box (with 12 cu/ft cargo capacity and dimensions of 58″L x 36″W x 16″H) and the 8007193 Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 roof box (with 11 cu/ft cargo capacity and dimensions of 89″L x 24″W x 15″H). Each is ideally designed for specific applications and purposes. The Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 features a short length and wide width, perfect for cars with shorter roof lines or anyone looking for a cargo luggage carrier and does not to carry long items such as skis and snowboards. The Yakima RocketBox Pro 11, by contrast, has a long length and narrow width, suited perfectly for carrying long equipment like snowboards and skis. It also takes up less roof rack cargo space than most other cargo boxes so it is possible to mount other gear carriers next to it without running out of crossbar space. And finally the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 is, you guessed it, the universal all-around option that simply does it all. It can carry all but the longest skis, yet it is short enough to work well on virtually all styles and sizes of automobiles and will allow the rear hatch door on most cars to open fully without contacting the cargo carrier. The roof boxes all include state-of-the-art mounting hardware for quick installation on virtually all factory racks as well as any roof racks from aftermarket car rack makers such as Yakima, Whispbar, Thule, Inno and more.

Picture of the Inno Shadow 16 roof box (dimensions - 78.7”L x 31.9”W x 13.4”H), 16 cu/ft storage capacity that fits all styles of roof racks including factory racks and any roof rack crossbars from Inno, Yakima, Whispbar, Thule etc.

Photo of the Inno Shadow 14 cargo box (dimensions - 70.9”L x 31.9”W x 13.4”H), 14 cu/ft storage capacity and has all the same upscale features as the Shadow 16 box but is shorter to fit all styles of cars and allow most rear hatch doors to open all the way.

The all-new Inno Racks Shadow series of car roof mount waterproof cargo luggage carriers stand out from the competition due to a combination of unique design engineering and premium good looks. The two most popular models are the 16 cu/ft cargo storage capacity Inno BRA1250 Shadow 16 cargo box and the 14 cu/ft cargo carrying Inno BRA1450 Shadow 14 roof box. Both are identical except for the length, the Shadow 14 model being a little shorter for working universally well on all sizes of cars and also increasing the chances that the rear hatch door will be able to open fully without touching the rear of the cargo box. The sleek low profile of the boxes (both have a 13.4″ height) means the Inno BRA1250 Shadow 16 and Inno BRA1450 Shadow 14 gear boxes cut through the wind like a knife and reduce wind drag so fuel efficiency is not compromised and the boxes wont produce noise while on top either. The low-profile aerodynamic shape also means you are much more likely to be able to pull into a garage without having to remove the box from the cartop. The Inno Racks Memory Mount clamping system allows the roof boxes to universally fit to factory rack crossbars and also any car rack cross bars from Inno, Whispbar, Yakima, Thule etc. Each model is also available in choice of black or silver color. Locks are included.

The Inno Racks Shadow series of cargo boxes has recently been released to dealers across North America. The Inno BRA1150 Shadow 15 roof box is a marquee performer in the line-up, featuring the lowest profile of all the Inno Shadow roof boxes. With just an 11.8″ height, the Inno Shadow 15 luggage box performs brilliantly not just in working as a waterproof cargo luggage box, but it dramatically reduces fuel consumption compared to most other cargo roof boxes. Also, due to the decreased wind drag and improved aerodynamics there is much less wind drag which translates into a very quiet box (any passenger will appreciate on a long trip). The Inno Racks proprietary Memory Mount system makes it easy to position and adjust the BRA1150 Shadow 15 the first time, then there is no need to readjust every time you take the box off and put it back on again ‘set it and forget it’. The Memory Mount clamps are also universally compatible with virtually all factory racks plus any aftermarket roof rack crossbars from Inno, Thule Whispbar, Yakima etc. Other features include dual-side opening access, locks and keys included, premium U.V. and scratch resistant glossy black finish, lash down straps on the inside. 15 cubic foot cargo storage capacity. Fits skis, snowboards, surfboards, tools, camping equipment, luggage cargo gear, fishing rods, golf clubs and much more.

Another fantastic example of how easy it really is to rack up the new 2010 Subaru Outback wagon. There has been much discussion regarding the new factory rack on the 2010 Subaru Outback wagon. Many owners are unsure exactly what roof rack components are acceptable for this vehicle (We highly recommend visiting this 2010 Subaru Outback factory roof rack article for complete details on what is available). The picture above is a superb 2010 Subaru Outback bike roof rack and cargo luggage box solution. With the Subaru Outback factory rack cross bars in their stored position, they cleverly serve as the factory side rails that then allow you to mount the Thule 450 Crossroad multi-purpose base rack system to the side rails. You can then attach any gear carriers to the 450 Crossroad car rack load bars. The photo above shows two RockyMounts PitchFork bike racks and a Thule 685XT Atlantis 1200 cargo roof box connected to the load bars.

Lucky us for a recent visit from Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep. A great day was had by all at ORS Racks Direct, as we spent the day discussing all things concerning Yakima Racks… exciting new products are now available for 2010, including the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack, Yakima SpareTime spare tire mount bike rack, Yakima EvenKeel kayak rack etc. Of course, before Steve had a chance to jump back in his car and head back home, we were able to capture yet another poor quality image (due to using a Blackberry camera and foggy weather) of his sweet Honda Pilot roof rack for carrying skis and a bike. The Yakima RailGrab roof rack is mounted to the Honda Pilot factory side rails and the Yakima SkyBox LoPro ski box and Yakima SprocketRocket bike rack are attached to the RailGrab cross bars. Pictured along with Mr. Reeder is Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager, obviously involved in high-level rack science discussions.

I Spy photo of Toyota Sienna with Yakima Rocket Box 15 luggage rack and Yakima BowDown kayak racks mounted to Yakima LowRider roof racks.

If y0u’ve ever wondered whether you can carry two kayaks and a cargo box for all your gear on the top of your vehicle, here is proof.  This Toyota Sienna with factory raised side rails has the Yakima RailGrab base system with a Yakima Rocket Box 15 cargo carrier flanked by two Yakima BowDown kayak racks, which as you can see, are in the folded down mode.  To pull this amazing feat of gear carrying prowess, a pair of Yakima  66″ crossbars are being used instead of the recommended Yakima 58″ crossbars.  All this thing needs now is a hitch mounted bike carrier for outrageous gear carrying capacity.

A great way to boost the cargo capacity of a smaller car is with a cargo box.  This Toyota Matix is using a Thule Atlantis 1600 Cargo Box, which is the perfect size box for this vehicle.  You can see that because it isn’t too long, it won’t interfere with the opening of the rear hatch, yet it is wide enough to carry lots of gear.  The Thule Atlantis 1600 luggage rack is mounted to the Thule 400XT base rack system.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica Roof Rack Cargo Carrier

by rackdawg on September 29, 2009

Q: I need some help in selecting the correct 2004 Chrysler Pacifica roof rack and cargo carrier for transporting a tent, some camping equipment and luggage. Thanks!

A: The Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack system is designed to fit your 2004 Chrysler Pacifica perfectly because it attaches directly to the fixed attachment points that Chrysler has provided on the Pacifica rooftop.  No drilling required, the 430 Tracker II includes four TK11 Tracker Kits that snap directly into these attachment points on the Chrysler Pacifica roof top. The other components included in this system are four Thule 430 Tracker II Feet (these snap onto the TK11 Kits that are mounted to the rooftop points) and a pair of load bars. You can then attach the cargo box to the load bars. The 50 inch load bars are the recommended length for the Pacifica’s rooftop.

Both the Thule 686 Atlantis 1600 cargo box and Thule 603 Ascent 1500 roof box are superb options for your needs. These cargo boxes will connect directly to both the Thule 430 Tracker II system base rack bars. The 686 Atlantis and 603 Ascent both offer excellent cargo volume and are ideal for transporting tent, camping gear, luggage etc. They are both a perfectly sized match for your vehicle as well. These cargo boxes come with locks included for securing your gear inside.

Options for a 2008 Ford Edge Roof Rack and Cargo Box

by rackdawg on September 21, 2009

Q: I’m in the market for a cargo carrier to haul luggage, camping equipment and gear. I do need some kind of 2008 Ford Edge roof rack system first that I can then mount a roof box to correct? The cargo box style of luggage carrier is what I’m interested in.

A: The Thule 400XT Aero, Inno INSU and Yakima Q Tower multi-purpose base rack systems will all work great as 2008 Ford Edge roof racks. All attach directly to your vehicle’s smooth rooftop that currently has no factory rack, factory side rails, rain gutters etc. All of these options provide a sturdy base rack system capable of safely transporting all kinds of gear. You can then attach any Yakima, Thule or Inno cargo roof boxes to the base rack system crossbars.
