I have had this rack on my Ford Excursion for a full year now. I go whitewater kayaking about every weekend and they fit in the rack very nicely. I bought a 4'x8' sheet of expanded steel mesh for a floor, cut it to length, painted it with truck bed liner, and fastened it to the cross bars with sheet metal screws so I wouldn't have to worry about balancing on the cross bars while loading and tying down gear.
This summer we went to from TN to CO with 3 boats stuffed full of gear on top, and it handled them with ease.
Get the folding ladder to make loading and unloading a breeze!

A well built and sturdy safari rack, easy to follow instructions and video.
by: Bruce04/03/2024
The Safari Rack appears to be a quality item. I used the fit guide on the manufacturer website and it showed the SP4560 with the included S48 Crossbars as being the correct roof rack for my vehicle. The reason I give it 2 stars is because the front crossbar is too short for my factory roof rails since the distance between the rails is wider toward the front of the vehicle making installation impossible without a longer crossbar.

I've had this rack on my 1995 Grand Cherokee and it's still great. Paint has finally started peeling but count the years to 2018 and it's been at 6000 feet in sun all that time! These roof racks by Surco are the impossible combination; light and sturdy.
This longer version is going on my 4x4 full size expedition Van.
The box arrived quickly, and it's a precision fit together.
However, like all roof rack baskets, they show a set of floor slats that are not part of the kit and no disclaimer about it. Just because the others are doing that sort of misleading marketing doesn't mean they have to.
I would like more floor options, like a chain link fence which could be rolled for easy shipping or expanded metal.
I would also like color options, I need this one in white, so I'll have to paint it.
etrailer got right on this order and it arrived earlier than I expected.

I bought this for a trip we were doing last summer. I was originally going to go with a more Custom built rack but the wait was too long.
I had a good time building this and fitting it to our Hummer H3. It worked great for freeing up space for the family. We spent a week out on the road with no issues. It is a little taller than I was originally looking for but the Safari style rask is very easy to use and pack. I have had it mounted for a year now and had no issues.
by: Ruben I.10/17/2019
Works great, sits low is almost as wide as my renegade, doesn't weigh much but is plenty sturdy, doesn't make an unreasonable amount of wind noise and make a great mount for off-road lights take the time to read and measure to install it correctly and it sits stable hasn't moved in close to 10,000 miles after the initial install and tightening, also a great way to move tough bulky items out of a limited interior compartment, like highlight Jack's and other weather proof off-road essentials
by: Adriana08/18/2022
This went together easily with two people working on it. The gaps in the frame make it a bit tricky to load certain items but we are usually using a large cargo bag inside this. The gap size is a trade-off with affordable price. It's been sturdy. We have left it installed on our 2007 Toyota Highlander since we got it about 6 months ago.

Website did not clearly indicate that factory rail clamps ARE NOT included had to order separate even though they are ShoWN on pictures. Disappointed

Looks good. Assembly instructions were lacking. One incorrect word made it more confusing.
by: Susan08/08/2022
Critical pieces missing that were supposed to be in the package, couldn't mount for the road trip we needed roof rack for. Bad customer service, said they would email me with info regarding missing parts and they did not.
by: Adam 05/16/2023
Excellent choice, super dynamic for its size. Owned it for a year now. I’ve put it on two cars, and I’ve used it several times. It’s gotten our family to and from the campsite and moving a few times. If wanted during the seasons, you can easily take it off by using the available key.
by: Jenn01/05/2019
Thank you. I have had the product installed and I must say the wind noise it creates is very shrill and causes my ears to ring long after I have stopped driving. Is there a wind deflector for this product ? ??????
by: Mark04/06/2018
Awesome product. Assembly was straightforward but did take a bit of time. Installation and removal of the rack are a breeze. Very happy with the service from etrailer.com. Incredible amount of product information on the site that allowed me to make an informed decision, and shipping was fast and free.
by: Mike R10/07/2021
I chose this rack to mount on my PUTCO venture bed rack because its the same exact size as the bed of my 2019 Ranger I used Yakima mounts for quick on and off. Couldnt be happier and love the look

Works very well for plastic totes. You tie down with bungies or a net.
by: Manic Mike11/24/2020
Premium price, Premium quality. Fits my car perfect; looks nice. I would recommend buying this and not buying a cheap one. My loving dog ate one of the trim pieces right before I installed it…
by: Kalley05/09/2022
Just opened it up and it's missing parts. Was planning to install tomorrow. Please help! It's missing the 3, long, base bars that support the whole thing. Someone please call me asap to see if we can get those parts shipped overnight. Time is of the essence. Thank you.
by: Doug08/13/2019
Although I haven’t installed the rack yet it looks great and I think it will work fine. I’m putting it on my jetboat so it isn’t exactly what it was intended for but I’m anxious to see the final results! Pictures to follow soon!
by: Jack 11/28/2021
Well built and a perfect fit on my 2000 trooper. It’s going to need the floor kit, 3 slats aren’t enough

- Will Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Basket Fit Raised Side Rails of 1994 Mitsubishi MonteroI verified with Surco that the Safari Rack 5.0 roof baskets do fit the factory raised rails on your 1994 Mitsubishi Montero. It uses included adapters to mount to the rails. The recommended basket is the 60 inch long model, part # SPS5060-1101. If your rails are long enough for the 84 inch model, part # SPS5084-1101, you can use it instead but when I spoke with Surco they weren't very confident it would fit on your Montero. The 60 inch is definite fit though.

- What Rooftop Basket do You Recommend for My Aluminum Camper?I have a roof rack solution for you. The only way that you can attach a basket like the SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - Steel - 66" Long x 39-1/8" Wide SR9035-9036 without crossbars is if your camper has elevated roof rails. If you have raised rails on your camper, I recommend the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails 50" Long x 45" Wide # SPS4550-1101 or the 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-1101. However, if your camper does not have roof rails, you will...
view full answer... - Will Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-1101 Fit 2012 Toyota SequoiaThe Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-1101 referenced in your question is designed to clamp directly to factory raised side rails that run front to back on a vehicle's roof. As long as your 2012 Toyota Sequoia features the factory raised side rails, this basket will work great on your roof without the need for any crossbars. Take a look at the attached video demonstration so you can see exactly how the basket attaches. This is the only way that the basket should be mounted...
view full answer... - Mounting a Roof Cargo Basket on a 2013 GMC Yukon XL Denali with Factory Roof RackThere are a couple of problems that will prevent you from mount a cargo basket or tray on the factory roof rack crossbars on your 2013 GMC Yukon XL Denali. First and foremost are the bars themselves. The GM roof rack crossbars in this case are a bit on the light side and a lot of accessory manufacturers limit what items will fit them because of this. For example Yakima only allows ski carriers but no cargo boxes, trays, boxes, or baskets. Not even bike racks, or cargo carriers. The other...
view full answer... - Availability of Roof-Mount Cargo Basket That Does Not Require Roof CrossbarsYou are correct that most rooftop cargo baskets, including the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 that you referenced, do require that the host vehicle have either factory or aftermarket roof rack crossbars. However, there are specialty baskets offered by Surco that can mount to a vehicle without crossbars as long as it has raised side rails. All of these baskets feature lightweight aluminum construction and a weight capacity that is limited to that of the host vehicle's roof. All are USA-made. The...
view full answer... - Will Yakima MegaWarrior with Extension Fit a 2013 Chevy SuburbanI checked with Yakima and the MegaWarrior with extension # Y07080-82 does fit your 2013 Chevy Suburban with factory crossbars that run side to side. If your Suburban has side rails that run front to back then you could use Safari rack # SPS5084-1101 which is 84 inches long and 5 inches wide. Surco currently only shows up to 2012 Suburbans but 2012 and 2013 are part of the same generation so the side rails should be the same.

Some baskets like this Surco can attach to roof side rails alone and do NOT require that the vehicle have crossbars that run side-to-side. Other cargo baskets like the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 do require a full-on roof rack in order to mount. The linked page will show you all extra-large rooftop cargo baskets from Rhino-Rack, Surco and Yakima. You...

Unfortunately, the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS5084-1101 is only compatible with raised side factory rails.

The Surco Safari comes with a 250 pound maximum weight capacity and comes with the ability to add a ground kit # SP1114 for additional surface area.

- Surco Safari Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy SuburbanTo install the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-T400 on your 2013 Chevy Suburban (or any vehicle for that matter), you will need to first have a Thule roof rack installed on the vehicle. So for that you would need the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400 to install this rack on your Suburban. Or if you wanted a version of this cargo basket that could attach directly to the side rails of your vehicle you...

We do not currently have a roof rack available that is confirmed to fit your Trooper, however we do have a system that might work. I recommend taking a look at the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSD. These feet are designed to mount to a vehicle's rain gutters like what...

- Will the Surfco Safari Rack 5.0 Fit on the Factory Crossbars of a 2021 Toyota SequoiaI have a solution for you. It sounds like your 2021 Toyota Sequoia has factory crossbars on the rails. The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Yakima Roof Racks, part # SPS5084-Y400, does not fit on this as they use the T-slots of Yakima crossbars. We do have a setup that will work with your rails, though. It's part # SPS5084-1101. It's the same basket you were looking at, but it comes with the adapter needed for your rails. It will not use your crossbars. As such, it may be...
view full answer... - Roof Basket Recommendation For 2009 Chevrolet SuburbanThe Surco Safari Rack, part # SPS5084-1101, will fit on your roof rack. This basket measures 84 in long by 50 in wide by 5 in deep, is made of sturdy aluminum, and weighs approximately 40 lbs. This basket comes with the adapters that clamp around the factory raised rails. I also recommend a tire step like part # PT68ZR. This easily slips over the wheel of your vehicle and allows you to reach the cargo on your roof. It also folds flat for easy storage.

It's still a great solution for carrying gear on top of your vehicle while the sunroof is closed. Included are video resources...
