Keep your vehicle's interior clean and uncluttered by transporting wet, dirty or oversize gear in this roof-mounted cargo basket. Durable, lightweight aluminum carrier fits Thule roof-rack square crossbars.by: Byron06/26/2018
I've had this rack on my 1995 Grand Cherokee and it's still great. Paint has finally started peeling but count the years to 2018 and it's been at 6000 feet in sun all that time! These roof racks by Surco are the impossible combination; light and sturdy.
This longer version is going on my 4x4 full size expedition Van.
The box arrived quickly, and it's a precision fit together.
However, like all roof rack baskets, they show a set of floor slats that are not part of the kit and no disclaimer about it. Just because the others are doing that sort of misleading marketing doesn't mean they have to.
I would like more floor options, like a chain link fence which could be rolled for easy shipping or expanded metal.
I would also like color options, I need this one in white, so I'll have to paint it.
etrailer got right on this order and it arrived earlier than I expected.

A well built and sturdy safari rack, easy to follow instructions and video.
by: Bruce04/03/2024
The Safari Rack appears to be a quality item. I used the fit guide on the manufacturer website and it showed the SP4560 with the included S48 Crossbars as being the correct roof rack for my vehicle. The reason I give it 2 stars is because the front crossbar is too short for my factory roof rails since the distance between the rails is wider toward the front of the vehicle making installation impossible without a longer crossbar.

I bought this for a trip we were doing last summer. I was originally going to go with a more Custom built rack but the wait was too long.
I had a good time building this and fitting it to our Hummer H3. It worked great for freeing up space for the family. We spent a week out on the road with no issues. It is a little taller than I was originally looking for but the Safari style rask is very easy to use and pack. I have had it mounted for a year now and had no issues.

Works great, sits low is almost as wide as my renegade, doesn't weigh much but is plenty sturdy, doesn't make an unreasonable amount of wind noise and make a great mount for off-road lights take the time to read and measure to install it correctly and it sits stable hasn't moved in close to 10,000 miles after the initial install and tightening, also a great way to move tough bulky items out of a limited interior compartment, like highlight Jack's and other weather proof off-road essentials
by: Adriana08/18/2022
This went together easily with two people working on it. The gaps in the frame make it a bit tricky to load certain items but we are usually using a large cargo bag inside this. The gap size is a trade-off with affordable price. It's been sturdy. We have left it installed on our 2007 Toyota Highlander since we got it about 6 months ago.

and gave me updates.
Thanks,

Website did not clearly indicate that factory rail clamps ARE NOT included had to order separate even though they are ShoWN on pictures. Disappointed

Looks good. Assembly instructions were lacking. One incorrect word made it more confusing.
by: Susan08/08/2022
Critical pieces missing that were supposed to be in the package, couldn't mount for the road trip we needed roof rack for. Bad customer service, said they would email me with info regarding missing parts and they did not.
by: Adam 05/16/2023
Excellent choice, super dynamic for its size. Owned it for a year now. I’ve put it on two cars, and I’ve used it several times. It’s gotten our family to and from the campsite and moving a few times. If wanted during the seasons, you can easily take it off by using the available key.
by: J. Ryan09/03/2020
I have had this rack on my Ford Excursion for a full year now. I go whitewater kayaking about every weekend and they fit in the rack very nicely. I bought a 4'x8' sheet of expanded steel mesh for a floor, cut it to length, painted it with truck bed liner, and fastened it to the cross bars with sheet metal screws so I wouldn't have to worry about balancing on the cross bars while loading and tying down gear.
This summer we went to from TN to CO with 3 boats stuffed full of gear on top, and it handled them with ease.
Get the folding ladder to make loading and unloading a breeze!
by: Jenn01/05/2019
Thank you. I have had the product installed and I must say the wind noise it creates is very shrill and causes my ears to ring long after I have stopped driving. Is there a wind deflector for this product ? ??????
by: Mark04/06/2018
Awesome product. Assembly was straightforward but did take a bit of time. Installation and removal of the rack are a breeze. Very happy with the service from etrailer.com. Incredible amount of product information on the site that allowed me to make an informed decision, and shipping was fast and free.
by: Mike R10/07/2021
I chose this rack to mount on my PUTCO venture bed rack because its the same exact size as the bed of my 2019 Ranger I used Yakima mounts for quick on and off. Couldnt be happier and love the look
by: John Ringness03/12/2020
Works very well for plastic totes. You tie down with bungies or a net.
by: Manic Mike11/24/2020
Premium price, Premium quality. Fits my car perfect; looks nice. I would recommend buying this and not buying a cheap one. My loving dog ate one of the trim pieces right before I installed it…
by: Kalley05/09/2022
Just opened it up and it's missing parts. Was planning to install tomorrow. Please help! It's missing the 3, long, base bars that support the whole thing. Someone please call me asap to see if we can get those parts shipped overnight. Time is of the essence. Thank you.
by: Doug08/13/2019
Although I haven’t installed the rack yet it looks great and I think it will work fine. I’m putting it on my jetboat so it isn’t exactly what it was intended for but I’m anxious to see the final results! Pictures to follow soon!
by: Jack 11/28/2021
Well built and a perfect fit on my 2000 trooper. It’s going to need the floor kit, 3 slats aren’t enough
by: J.L.Bills10/11/2018
Fit my 02 tundra roof perfectly assembly was easy.

See what our Experts say about this Surco Products Roof Basket
- What Roof Rack and Rooftop Basket do You Recommend for My 2016 Jeep Renegade with MySky Roof?When considering a roof rack system and basket for your MySky system on your 2016 Jeep Renegade, it is important to know the clearance height requirement for the panels to open. While I unfortunately do not have that information, from my research and looking at videos of the MySky opening, it looks like the panels never raise higher than the factory raised rails on your roof. With that being said, a crossbar system that will provide you with additional height on top of the rails you need...
view full answer... - Roof Mounted Cargo Basket for Leer Camper Shell with Thule CrossbarsThe Surco Safari Rack you mentioned, part # SPS5084-T400 requires crossbars as a connection point, it will not attach directly to the tracks. The basket is compatible with Thule crossbars. The # SPS5084-T400 you referenced is 84 inches, or 7 feet long. Surco also offers a 5 foot long model, part # SPS5060-T400. The Extended Thule Canyon XT, part # TH859XT-8591XT is about 5-3/4 feet long, but at 40 inches wide it is not as wide as the Surco models mentioned above. It is also compatible...
view full answer... - Larger Roof Basket that can fit 2 inch by 1 inch CrossbarsThe Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Cargo Basket # SPS5084-T400 that you referenced is designed specifically to mount to Thule square crossbars. Thule square bars measure 1-1/4 inches wide and 7/8 of an inch tall. If these specs match the dimensions on your ladder rack bars then the basket will work great. If not you will want to go with a more universal basket like the Yakima OffGrid # Y07139-09 that features similar overall dimensions of 75 inches long and 49 inches wide but includes mounting...
view full answer... - Will The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket Fit A 2019 Ford Transit T350?I have a solution for you, but the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Yakima Roof Racks - 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-Y400 is specifically designed to be mounted to Yakima cross bars. There are not any Yakima cross bars confirmed to fit your 2019 Ford Transit T350 so you will need to go with another setup. Instead you need Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Thule Roof Racks - 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-T400. This is identical to the one mentioned above except...
view full answer... - Could the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket Carry Hay BalesAs long as the roof of your vehicle has the capacity for the 4-5 bales of hay you would be good. You will want to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine the roof capacity and then figure out how much your hay bales weigh. This rack is designed to be installed on a Thule roof rack. In my experience I've seen square bales weight from 35-70 lbs. For some ratchet straps to secure the hay you might also be interested in the Erickson Ratchet Straps part # 58503.

Unfortunately, the Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Basket # SPS5060-1101 is only designed for raised factory rails. However, we do have the model of Surco Safari 5.0 that is specially made to fit Thule roof racks. That is the Surco Safari 5.0 # SPS5084-T400. The basket gives you the ability to build more of a platform with the Surco Floor Kit # SP1114. If you need tie-down straps, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckles #...

- Surco Safari Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy SuburbanTo install the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-T400 on your 2013 Chevy Suburban (or any vehicle for that matter), you will need to first have a Thule roof rack installed on the vehicle. So for that you would need the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400 to install this rack on your Suburban. Or if you wanted a version of this cargo basket that could attach directly to the side rails of your vehicle you...

This lightweight aluminum basket comes with adapters that clamp around the roof rack crossbars; you do not need to purchase this separately. Note that the capacity of this basket to carry cargo is limited by the vehicle roof weight limit. You will want to take a look at your owners manual for specifics or check with your local dealership...

For a Thule Roof Rack that is confirmed to fit your 2003 Land Rover Range Rover, I recommend the Thule Traverse Square Bar Roof Rack. This system consists of # TH712500 for the 60 inch Square Load Bars, # TH480R for the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, and # THKIT1274 for the Fit Kit. Once installed, this will give you a sturdy roof rack system with...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Largest Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 1995 Land Rover Range Rover ClassicFirst you will want to start with a roof rack on your 1995 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. For that you will want the Yakima roof rack that consists of the Round 66" CrossBars # Y00410 and the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101. The absolute biggest roof rack cargo basket that would fit this roof rack would be the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-Y400.
view full answer... - Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy SuburbanI checked with Surco and they list Safari Rack # SPS5084-1101 as the proper fit for your 2007 Chevy Suburban. This version comes with adapters to attach the basket to the factory side rails on your Suburban. Side rails run front to back. The basket does not attach to crossbars that run side to side. As for the different sizes available with the correct adapters the 50 inch width will be needed for a proper fit but there is # SPS5060-1101 at 60 inches long. Another option for most aftermarket...
view full answer... - Surco Rooftop Cargo Basket for Thule Roof Racks on Honda FitThe Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Thule Roof Racks, # SPS5084-T400, will work with all Thule roof racks including racks compatible with your Honda Fit. The only problem you may encounter is in the access of your rear hatch due to the overhang. I would recommend a smaller roof rack if it weren't dependent on your painting size. This rack will fit your paintings even two of them stacked within the 5" depth of the carrier, but they will be exposed to wind and weather without...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack And Cargo Basket For 2010 Ford E-350The roof rack I recommend that will work with your 2012 E-350 is the Thule roof rack using part # TH29055XT. I also recommend the Surco Cargo Basket, part # SPS5084-T400. This is our largest basket and it measures 84-inches long and 50-inches wide and is designed to fit the Thule crossbars. The Surco basket does not come with an extension.

view full answer... - Is the Surco Safari Cargo Basket Compatible with RhinoRack HD BarsI may have a solution for you, but the Surco Safari # SPS5084-T400 is designed to fit on square bars no more than 1-1/4" wide and it looks like the Rhino Rack HD bars # RB1650S you mentioned are 1-5/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall, so this Surco rack would not fit. The only cargo basket we have that has been confirmed to fit on the Rhino Rack HD bars is the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117, which is a little bit smaller than the Surco but still a larger basket.
