I went ahead and reached out to my contact at Yakima, and she said that while they cannot confirm that the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 Y07191 can clamp around the Vortex Aero bars on the # Y02-490B on your 2005 Dodge Dakota, she said they should work.

If you want something that will definitely clamp around the bars, I recommend theThule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - 8 cu Feet # TH78GC or the larger SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - 18 cu Feet # SR7018. Both of these roof boxes come with an aerodynamic design to reduce wind resistance and saving gas mileage. Also, the Thule Sidekick has a maximum weight capacity of 75 pounds, and the Vista XL has a maximum weight capacity of 100 pounds. As with all cargo carriers, I recommend confirming with your vehicle's user's manual to confirm your roof can hold that much weight.
