In order to use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 Cubic Feet, # SR7018, or any cargo box or cargo bag, you will need to at least have cross bars that run side to side on your Saturn Vue. If you can provide me with the year Saturn Vue you have, I will be able to find a roof rack that will allow you to use a cargo box.

To add a roof rack to a 2006 Saturn Vue that has factory rails that run front to back, you will need a couple of items. First, you will need the Thule Evo raised rail feet, # TH710401. Second, you will need Thule 47 inch SquareBars, # TH712200. The maximum cross bar spacing on your Vue is 37 inches. Be sure to check your owners manual for the weight capacity of your roof. This rack has a capacity of 165 pounds. If the roof is rated less, go by that capacity. If the rack is rated less, go by that capacity, whichever is the lowest.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
