What Cargo Box will Fit with My 23-Inch Basket on My 2018 Toyota 4Runner?
Question:
Hi, I have the Malone 58in crossbars and currently have a 23in basket mounted on them. Its the AVENN skinny basket. Id like to also get a cargo box that can be mounted next to the basket and Im wondering if you think a box this big would be ok next to the basket?

As far as mounting the Thule Force XT L # TH6357B to your Malone AirFlow2 Crossbars - 58" # MPG216 on your 2018 Toyota 4Runner, the fitment will not work due to the 7-inch length of the feet that extend beneath the AirFlow2. This 7 inch length will interfere with the mounting clamps on the Force XT L, not allowing for enough usable crossbar space.
However, if your usable crossbar space between the towers (with the basket attached) measures at least 25 inches, then you can use the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts # TH78GC. The Sidekick is the thinnest cargo box we currently carry. As a last resort, you can always upgrade the length of your crossbars to 65 inches with the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG217.
