tytek Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looking to buy a roof mount cargo carrier to use for trips. Prefer to get a higher quality unit over a lower priced crapper. Thule and Yakima come to mind, but which specific ones are best for the money? Any other brands to consider? Looking for around 15 cubic feet. I like the look of lower profile longer units, over bulky short ones. School me please and provide links for anything worth buying. Thanks!

13fido13 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've got the atlantis 1600. Fits nicely on my legacy wagon. But it does cause problems when wanting to open the sunroof. Can't complain other than that. It's quite nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks. I just looked at a few Atlantis models and may end up with the 2100. Should be large enough for that I need. Do you typically use the straps that came with yours to secure cargo inside the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13fido13 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Psh nope! Stuff usually stays pretty well in place. You will notice things do bounce around and the box can be noisy when empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ended up getting Thule Atlantis 2100 and the box is huge. Probably as much space as I will ever need. Thanks for your advice. Here is a pic of it on the car... It is so big, the car flipped upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've got a Boxster.. I posted somewhere on the forums if you can't find it I'll see if I can dig up the shot. Probably deep in the :hooked up wagons: thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtbakerpow Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have the Thule ascent 1100,low enough profile to fit into parking garages and long enough for the big pow boards..or longer tools,or bodies crossing the border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughdamon Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Mounted what's now called the pulse alpine, fits skis up to 210 cm or so on the 08 XT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtime Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I would also recommend Thule. Cost me $270. Here is the link https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/soa567c011.html but this is just compatible for Subaru. Yes, I agree it is a little bit pricey but there are times when I feel like I exceed that max weight but he's still standing strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
