The Thule Canyon XT cargo basket allows you to easily transport a wide range of gear on your vehicle's roof. It maximizes your vehicle's cargo carrying capacity and keeps dirty and damp gear outside of the vehicle. A built-in fairing reduces drag and wind noise, and the mounting hardware is adjustable to accommodate different crossbar spreads.
Aerodynamic, Low-Profile Design
The low-profile Canyon XT is wedge-shaped and aerodynamic. A wind fairing attaches to the front of the basket to help redirect air up and over the basket. This helps to reduce drag and wind noise. And the side walls are tapered for easy loading.
Easy Installation
The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.
You can position the hardware anywhere along the bottom of the basket to match your crossbar spread. The hardware easily clamps to basket's bottom rails.
To install the basket, simply align the included U-bolts under your crossbars and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware. The system includes 3 sets of U-bolts to accommodate most crossbar sizes.
You can also mount the basket directly into your crossbar's top channels using the included T-bolts. Just slide the T-bolts into the crossbar top channels and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware.
Optional 20" Extension
To increase the basket's cargo carrying capacity, install the Thule Canyon XT basket extension (TH8591XT - sold separately). This 20" extension allows you to carry extra-long gear on your vehicle's roof.

We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.

Love my new Thule canyon xt roof cargo basket!! Fits on my 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade, it was easy to assemble!! Shipping was awesome came in quicker then I expected!!
by: Henrik10/31/2020
Ordered the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket from etrailer. It came within days of oredering and is as advertised. Ordering from etrailer was an excellent experience. They followed kept me informed of the status as we went along and sent me warranty information after receipt George and Carol were great to work with. PS - the installation was a breeze and we used it to haul roof top items on our camping trip last weekend. Thank You - I will certainly not hesitate to order from etrailer again!!
by: Zach06/24/2021
The Canyon XT installed with ease & also provides multiple mounting brackets for attaching to crossbars.
It will definitely give us more interior room or additional cargo capacity!
I highly suggest reading the directions a few times before you start & during assembly. Some parts are in the same bag for a step while other steps need parts from different bags.
Depending on your vehicle, all parts may not be used. So make sure the parts you have left over are the right ones!
by: Paul12/04/2020
Great product and absolutely awesome service. I originally order the Thule Canyon XT basket from a VERY well know online entity. I wasn't able to get a ship date (they said a would be notified via email when a firm date had been established. After two days of waiting for the message, I cancelled the order and checked etrailer.com. They had the same Thule basket at the same price, so I ordered it. It wasn't 10 minutes later that I received an email thanking me for the order and further stating that the product had shipped!!!!!! A UPS tracking number came early the next day!!!! Great product, great price and great service!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks - etrailer..........

Received and installed just in time for a family trip to a cabin. This rack was perfect for storing coolers and bags to free up space in the back of the car. The only difficult step in the installation was getting it as close to centered as possible on the roof rails.
by: Cheryl06/20/2020
Very happy with product and time frame of delivery and the tracking info is always a great asset. Easy to assemble. My only problem was i needed help getting in on the roof of the truck. Also liked the how to and information about the product videos . Thank you . Next item is the cargo bag. :)
by: David05/13/2024
I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.
by: Karl07/02/2021
Just finished installing my roof basket this morning. No problems doing it by myself. Good, solid product!
Thanks to the team at etrailer for exceptional service, and especially to Michael B. for his help with changing my shipment from my home address to my work address!
by: Len06/26/2022
Nice balance of quality, fitment, style, and weight. One year and it has held up well. Fits 2019 Toyota RAV4 perfectly.
by: Fletcher05/27/2020
I’d been looking at this product for a while. No oversize shipping fee. Fairly straightforward directions— IKEA experience a plus. Looks great on the Outback. Feels solid, and is ready to go.
by: Larry06/09/2016
Looks good,functions even better.very sturdy,low profile(getting into garages empty,no problem)
by: Peter05/06/2022
Perfect fit. Looks very slim and low enough to clear my garage door. Always love Thule products. Make the vehicle looks more rugged with its new curves.
by: Jerry B11/07/2023
Excellent basket! Very well made. High quality equipment. Taking a star off because it should have included locking cores at the price.

i love it!! Somewhat easy to install. Very sturdy and looks very nice on my ride.

I still love it!! 1 minor thing though...the plastic piece creates a lot of wind noise. Other than that, its an awesome product. I also bought an extension which made it look so much better.
by: Jay06/07/2023
This worked as advertised! I bought if for a little extra protection to go along with our cargo soft bag (also from etrailer) that I put in our Thule rooftop basket. Worked great on our 16 hour drive.
by: Marc12/16/2017
The product it’s self is great. It’s a Thule product so you know what you’re getting when you order it. Very stylish and the coating on the basket seems like it will hold up. This is something that is not meant to be taken on and off regularly. It does take some time to install the basket. I did it myself in about an hour. I do feel like the plastic wind shield on it could have had a better set up. Doesn’t look to strong but time will tell
etrailer customer service also gets 5 stars
I ordered this on sale on Black Friday. The item took about 2 weeks to ship but once it did it only took 2 days to arrive. I recieved several emails updating me on my order status which was great comminitication. It seems that basket was delayed due to supplies from Thule because other retailers stopped taking orders on it.
Overall the basket looks great on my Subaru Crosstrek and is what I expected from the product.
by: Sandra08/18/2021
Others stated directions were hard to follow but my husband had it installed on my 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon in less than an hour by himself the only thing I helped with was lifting it up and off the roof of the car. I chose Thule because they stand behind their product. Thule is the best cargo roof basket available on the market and they back it up with a Lifetime Warranty! I have not had any cargo in it yet but have had it up to 75 miles an hour with no wind drag empty. There is a speed rating on this basket of 80 miles an hour so I wonder if the wind complaint reviewers are driving in excess of 80 miles an hour. No matter what vehicle you put it on it has a nice, sleek, sturdy appearance. From what I have researched the less expensive roof cargo baskets only have up to a 2 year warranty and are plagued by rust issues.
by: AG12/13/2022
My Thule cargo basket has a real slick yet sturdy design. Strong, loads of space, good finish, and more tie down points than I have ratchet straps. Takes my Outback from being a boring family wagon to a cool trekking machine. While I did encounter initial issues with parts fit, etrailer was immediately responsive and took care to ensure it all worked out. Genuine five stars for service, thank you etrailer!

Holds a lot and stores flat on our garage wall.
by: Bradly08/09/2023
This basket is a must if you have minimal trunk space. It holds a lot and very well made.
by: Jody03/10/2022
Works good, nice and sturdy. Make sure you check the nuts on the deflector shield every once and a while. I had one come off.
by: Rh12/12/2019
Basket is sturdy and wasn't bad to install. I've used it several times and it's great to have with a new car because stuff I don't want in car goes up there. I ride bikes and basket is great for weekend bike trips for extra space as well as whatever I need to haul and construction makes it easy to hook load straps and secure load. Basket does make some noise but it's worth it. Overall great purchase that I plan to get lots of use out of.

Working well used this basket on bunch of mtb camping trips. Holds gear Im using Thule bag with it works very well keeps things dry and secure. Highly recommend these products.
by: Eric10/19/2022
I absolutely love this basket. It really helped with the trip out to Big Bend national park. I had a ton of stuff up there with several coolers and tents without an issue. Wanted to take the rack off the car once I return from the trip, but my wife like the appearance of it so much, we just left it up there.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Roof Basket
- Roof Cargo Carrying Options that Do Not Use a Roof RackAll of the cargo baskets and boxes we offer are meant to attach to crossbars that are first installed on the truck. We do not offer any baskets or boxes that would mount directly to the roof surface. We do offer some roof mounted cargo bags like the Rightline Gear Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 15 cu ft - 44" x 34" x 17", Item # RL100A20. Although these cargo bags work best with crossbars or a cargo basket, they can be mounted directly to the roof and the mounting straps...

- Will Thule Cargo Basket # TH859XT Fit On 2012 Jeep PatriotIf your 2012 Jeep Patriot has crossbars are spread apart between 20 inches and 37 inches, the Thule Roof Cargo Carrier # TH859XT is a good fit. This cargo carrier is 49 inches long and the Thule Cargo Basket Extension # TH8591XT will add an additional 20 inches to that. You could always purchase the basket first to ensure a proper fit, then purchase the extension later if needed. The basket has a weight capacity of 150 lbs, but check your vehicle owners guide to ensure your roof can handle...

- Will Thule Roof Cargo Box TH859XT Fit a 2014 Chrysler Town and CountryThe extension for the part # TH859XT is the part # TH8591XT. To fit this on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country would require you to have a roof rack with crossbars that are spread between 20" and 37" apart. lf this is the case, the extension will work just fine. I actually attached an install video that shows the # TH859XT installed on a 2014 Town and Country just like yours as well. In the video the van has the factory roof rack.

If a roof rack is not installed in the proper location, over tightened on one side, or the wrong roof rack was used, that is when you would run into problems.

There is no secure method for attaching to the side rails. I would recommend the Thule Crossroad roof rack, consisting of part # TH710401 and # TH712200. I personally like the Yakima OffGrid Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, part #.Y07138. A fairing is also included that will reduce the wind noise caused by having a basket on the roof of the vehicle. I...
view full answer... - Roof Cargo Basket and Roof Rack Recommendation for Chevrolet K5 BlazerI have a solution for you, but there is no type of cargo basket that is available to mount to a flat roof without bars. The Safari cargo baskets are designed to fit to roof racks or raised side rails. Since you have no rails or bars on your vehicle, to be able to use a cargo basket you will need to install a roof rack. A track mounted roof rack will allow you to install the rack on the back, hard cover of the Blazer. For a track, I recommend the Thule Top Track Roof Mount System, 42...

Right now there is not a specific spare tire carrier that is designed to specfically work with the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT, however you could also use the Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080, which the spare tire carrier # Y07076 is designed to be used with.

These crossbars measure 60" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall, has a maximum weight capacity of 220-lbs, and due to it's aero design it will dramatically reduce wind noise while helping maintain fuel efficiency.

The only option available to add a roof rack to your Mini is with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B.

view full answer... - Does Thule Interstate Bag Fit in Thule Canyon Cargo BasketYes, the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869 would easily fit in the Thule Canyon part # TH859XT. The bag is also water resistant which means in a light rain the contents of the bag would stay dry but a heavy rain would allow water in. Either way it's a good idea to wrap your cargo in a plastic bag.

The Thule basket is compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. Should you have the factory installed tracks that front to back I recommend the Yakima roof rack which consists of their JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 4 # Y00224.

Yakima offers the LoadWarrior, part # Y07070 that is 39 inches wide at its widest point, which would fit in between your bike racks.

I'd do at least two, one on each side of the rack, and use the kit # TH450200. Also write down your key number so that if you choose to add the other two cylinders in the future, you can add ones that will share the same key. You could also just not install the lock cylinders at all for now, but then there's nothing locking it to your crossbars.
