Leader Accessories Roof Rack Cargo Basket Set - Heavy Duty 64in x 39in

In this review the Leader Accessories Roof Rack Cargo Basket Set is evaluated for drivers who need reliable extra storage for camping or long road trips. The set pairs a tubular steel cargo basket rated up to 150 lbs with a waterproof rooftop carrier bag that holds 15 cubic feet, giving families and outdoor enthusiasts a balanced combination of open-frame security and protected weatherproof storage. The biggest reason to buy is the versatility: the basket provides a sturdy platform while the bag offers weather protection and straps for secure transport.

Key Features

• Tubular steel construction: The basket is built for strength and supports up to 150 lbs so heavier gear like coolers and camping equipment can travel on the roof.
• Wind fairing reduces noise: A steel wind fairing is included to lower wind resistance and road noise for a less intrusive ride at highway speeds.
• Universal U-bolt mounting: The basket mounts to cross bars with four universal U-bolts that fit crossbars up to 4.6 in wide and 1.35 in high for broad compatibility.
• Waterproof soft-shell bag: The carrier bag is heavy duty and waterproof with flexible sides to accommodate odd-shaped loads and keep contents dry.
• Secure fastening system: Four 1.5 in straps with strong buckles plus a free anti-slip mat help keep the bag and cargo from shifting during transit.
• Two size configurations: The basket assembles as a 64 in extended length or a compact 43 in length to fit different roof setups.

Who It's For

This set is best for families and outdoor travelers who need a flexible roof storage solution that combines an open basket for bulky items and a waterproof bag for weather-sensitive gear. It fits vehicles with crossbars compatible with U-bolts and is especially useful on road trips, camping runs, or moving days when trunk space is limited.

Those with fixed-distance roof cross bars, like certain Highlander models, should confirm compatibility with customer service before purchasing, and drivers who need a lightweight, non-permanent soft carrier only may prefer a stand-alone rooftop bag instead of the heavier steel basket.

Pros & Cons
