Cargo Carrier Options for a Mercedes Benz GL450
Question:
Which cargo carrier do recommend for the MB GL 450? Folding and fixed. Also, which rooftop system do your recommend? Has factory rails, but not crossbars. Thanks

Since I don't know what year your Mercedes Benz GL 450 is it is pretty hard for me to make recommendations.
But assuming you have a 2 inch opening hitch I would recommend the Folding 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18151 as long as you have less than 9 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the bumper. For a fixed carrier I would go with the Curt Carrier part # C18152.
Since I do not know the year of your vehicle I can't recommend you a roof rack and cargo box, the best I can do is recommend a cargo bag that is compatible with roof racks with only side rails. For that I would recommend the Cargo Bag # RL100S30.
