## Description

The MaxxHaul 70115 Roof Rack Cargo Carrier Basket expands rooftop cargo capacity for vehicles equipped with factory or aftermarket roof cross bars, providing a durable and practical solution for transporting luggage, camping gear, and oversized items. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the open-frame basket measures 46 in x 36 in x 4.5 in and features a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor durability. The carrier installs easily with included assembly and mounting hardware, attaching to most cross bars using a universal U-bolt system with no drilling required, while rubber caps cover exposed hardware to help protect cargo. With a 150 lb evenly distributed load capacity, this rooftop cargo basket is ideal for SUVs, pickup trucks, and passenger vehicles needing additional storage space.

Review: Sturdy, easy to assemble, good deal for the $$ - 5 stars to offset the 1 star reviews. This rack is worth every penny. Pros: It's easy to assemble It's affordable It's sturdy and well made It's sleek without looking "space shipish", I appreciate it's lower profile Cons: it's heavier than expected, but that speaks to how well it's made. It was incredibly simple to assemble. Several reviews mentioned water getting in the tubes and screws being too short, so I sealed the tube unions with butyl rubber tape (for sealing metal roofs) and the screws I used the butyl tape instead of the washers. Even then with the rubber sleeves installed I don't see water being an issue... Rust? It's has pretty thick powder coat, I don't expect that to be an issue...and if it is...big deal, it's a $100 rack. If it rusts I'll take it off, clean it up and coat it in truck bed liner U bolts were a bit long, but were easy to cut flush with the finger nuts used to secure it. As for excessive wind noise...all racks are going to cause noise, but frankly I didn't really notice anything extra. Very happy with it
Review: Amazing rack for the price - First off, I bought this a little worried off some of the one star reviews. But I figured I’d give it a try for how cheap it is. The one star reviews say some of the following: Leaks water into pipes Rack makes A LOT of noise Rack rusts and doesn’t seal Rack is very hard to put together All of the above is wrong flat out. First off, it’s insanely easy to put together with a screwdriver and a rubber mallet. I was able to put this rack together by myself in 30 minutes. The only reason it took 30 minutes is because I didn’t read the directions at first and had to put the rubber slips on. Which leads me to, the people that said it doesn’t seal, must have failed to put it together correctly. The rubber slips seal the parts of the rods that go together, so water can’t get inside the tubes. The screws come with rubber washers, which also do the above. Now I did also seal the connections between tubes with silicone as well, because why not have extra protection. The rack does make some noise, but it’s not so loud you can’t have a conversation. If you think strapping a rack to your roof, that catches the wind won’t make any noise, you have a lot more issues with yourself than this rack. People saying their rack flew off literally didnt tighten the rack down correctly. I placed the rack on my Subaru crosstrek, and hand tightened all the nuts. Came back the next day, and then winched down the nuts with channel locks after the threads of the bolts and nuts relaxed and loosened up, as all threads do. After a 1200 mile trip, with rain and snow in some areas, the rack is still one with the car. I can grab it and literally try to move it and the car just moves instead. As for water, I broke the silicone seals when I get home and took it apart just to see, and the internals are bone dry. No water at all even through moderate rain storms driving 80 mph. Another review mentioned bolts being so long they scratched the tip of the car. First off if the bolts scratched the top, you put the bolts on upside down. Watch the YouTube video or read the directions, the bolts face upward away from your car. That being said they are long for my roof rack cross bars. But remember this is a universal roof rack basket, it has to accommodate very thick cross bars also. If the length bothers you, simply go to Home Depot and buy shorter bolts for $2. Or angle grind off the excess as I did. That being said, you have to keep in mind this is a rack that’s less than $100. It’s going to be a $100 rack. That doesn’t mean it’s junk, just simply don’t compare it to a $400 Thule, because it’s not a $400 Thule. It’s a very strong roof rack for under $100. And it does everything that you will use it for, just so long as you don’t try and overload it past it’s weight rating. To sum it all up, for less than $100, this rack is amazing. It’s strong, extremely light, super easy to put together, and with a little extra silicone and time very easy to seal up for poor weather. Remember, hand tighten nuts, wait a day for the threads to settle, then Chanel lock them down. Buy this rack, and enjoy your cars MPG, while still having great cargo space.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this items ships within 4-5 months?? It shows prime but It says it take this long**
A: I received mine within 4 business days.  I was surprised at how quickly it shipped!

**Q: Does the rack come unbranded (without the logo sticker)?**
A: June 17 2020. The new rack comes with printed logo, not the sticker.

**Q: Can you order a separate middle section?**
A: Does not appear that a separate middle section/extender was available when I ordered earlier this year. Also could interfere with after-market cross bars that cannot be re-positioned readily.

**Q: Is this rack 46 " wide and 36 " in lenth**
A: It’s 46” in length, front to back and 36” wide, side to side

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap but value oriented basket that does the job
*by J***O on April 7, 2025*

For the price it does the job. I drove 4K miles of dirty wet winter riding after installing it and it has held up well. The basket fits my 2021 Audi Q3 with factory bars with ease. I was able to easily add three decent size pieces of luggage and I used a dry bag. My qualms is that the screws supplied are crap and easily strip so be careful. I haven’t had any signs of rust but many people have shown the basket starts developing surface rust along the welds. The basket is light which makes it easy to lift. The aerodynamics I would say are bad. Too many open spots that create a ton of wind noise. The noise is bearable when at 50mph but anything greater the noise becomes very loud but this will depend on your noise tolerance. The rack fits on my aero bars but the hardware has no locking mechanism if that matters and I found the clamping hardware to be a but tedious to install trying to clamp each side evenly. Once installed though the rack is rock solid and isn’t going anywhere. Again for the price this costs a fraction of what a high end Yakima or Thule basket would cost yet essentially does the same job. The 150lb weight limit is fine for me but might be limited for others.
