The Thule Canyon XT cargo basket allows you to easily transport a wide range of gear on your vehicle's roof. It maximizes your vehicle's cargo carrying capacity and keeps dirty and damp gear outside of the vehicle. A built-in fairing reduces drag and wind noise, and the mounting hardware is adjustable to accommodate different crossbar spreads. The included 20" extension piece allows you to adjust the basket length as needed.


Aerodynamic, Low-Profile Design

Thule Canyon with Extension and Fairing

The low-profile Canyon XT is wedge-shaped and aerodynamic. A wind fairing attaches to the front of the basket to help redirect air up and over the basket. This helps to reduce drag and wind noise. And the side walls are tapered for easy loading.


Easy Installation

Installed Thule Canyon with Extension

The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.


Adjustable Mounting Hardware

You can position the hardware anywhere along the bottom of the basket to match your crossbar spread. The hardware easily clamps to basket's bottom rails.


U-Bolts & Hand KnobsInstalled U-Bolts

To install the basket, simply align the included U-bolts under your crossbars and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware. The system includes 3 sets of U-bolts to accommodate most crossbar sizes.


You can also mount the basket directly into your crossbar's top channels using the included T-bolts. Just slide the T-bolts into the crossbar top channels and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware.


Removable Extension

Thule Canyon Basket with Extension

This basket comes with an extension that allows you to customize the length of the basket depending on your needs.


Thule Canyon Basket with Extension

You can bolt all 3 pieces together to create a long basket to carry kayak paddles and other long cargo. To install the extension, loosen the bolts on the bottom of the basket with the included Allen wrench and remove the front of the basket. Slide the ends of the extension into the bars of the basket and re-secure the front of the basket to the extension.


Thule Canyon Basket without Extension

Or simply bolt the front and rear pieces together leaving out the 20" extension to create a standard size basket for bags, camping gear, and other compact cargo.

I’ve got several 1400+ mile trips with this on both a 2017 4Runner and a 2023 Kia Sportage. The basket is well made, easy to install, very solid and so far rust free.



by:

Fit my OEM Hyundai Palisade crossbars p erfectly.



by:

All items were delivered quickly and as ordered. I would definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

Use this for camping and going to the beach. Works perfectly and holds a lot more than the fancy luggage carriers and costs a lot less. Just buy a waterproof zip up cargo carrier to put everything in and strap it down.



by:

This was so easy to put together. It fits great on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. I plan on loading all the camping gear in it when we go on vacation. The folks at ETrailer.com have been great inn keeping me up to date on the status of my order.



by:

Love this basket. Sturdy, easy to install, super functional. Would never have another car without it.



by:

Excellente product, utilized to travel on a Chevy Taho. Great capacity, easy to assemble and installation. Practical no noise during travel.



by:

Easily assembled in about 20 minutes. Sturdy construction and should last a lifetime. Lillian W. was very helpful and courteous through the process.



by:

Excellent quality and looks great!

Takes a little time to assemble and install but the end product is worth it. Now i am worthy to go camping and carry all my stuff with me!

We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.

Love my new Thule canyon xt roof cargo basket!! Fits on my 2022 Toyota Prius Nightshade, it was easy to assemble!! Shipping was awesome came in quicker then I expected!!



by:

Ordered the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket from etrailer. It came within days of oredering and is as advertised. Ordering from etrailer was an excellent experience. They followed kept me informed of the status as we went along and sent me warranty information after receipt George and Carol were great to work with. PS - the installation was a breeze and we used it to haul roof top items on our camping trip last weekend. Thank You - I will certainly not hesitate to order from etrailer again!!



by:

The Canyon XT installed with ease & also provides multiple mounting brackets for attaching to crossbars.

It will definitely give us more interior room or additional cargo capacity!

I highly suggest reading the directions a few times before you start & during assembly. Some parts are in the same bag for a step while other steps need parts from different bags.

Depending on your vehicle, all parts may not be used. So make sure the parts you have left over are the right ones!



by:

Great product and absolutely awesome service. I originally order the Thule Canyon XT basket from a VERY well know online entity. I wasn't able to get a ship date (they said a would be notified via email when a firm date had been established. After two days of waiting for the message, I cancelled the order and checked etrailer.com. They had the same Thule basket at the same price, so I ordered it. It wasn't 10 minutes later that I received an email thanking me for the order and further stating that the product had shipped!!!!!! A UPS tracking number came early the next day!!!! Great product, great price and great service!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks - etrailer..........



by:

Received and installed just in time for a family trip to a cabin. This rack was perfect for storing coolers and bags to free up space in the back of the car. The only difficult step in the installation was getting it as close to centered as possible on the roof rails.



by:

Very happy with product and time frame of delivery and the tracking info is always a great asset. Easy to assemble. My only problem was i needed help getting in on the roof of the truck. Also liked the how to and information about the product videos . Thank you . Next item is the cargo bag. :)



by:

Great OEM fit and great look. Price was a little on the expensive side but it was easier and quicker to go through etrailer than retailer.



by:

Just finished installing my roof basket this morning. No problems doing it by myself. Good, solid product!

Thanks to the team at etrailer for exceptional service, and especially to Michael B. for his help with changing my shipment from my home address to my work address!



by:

Nice balance of quality, fitment, style, and weight. One year and it has held up well. Fits 2019 Toyota RAV4 perfectly.



by:

I’d been looking at this product for a while. No oversize shipping fee. Fairly straightforward directions— IKEA experience a plus. Looks great on the Outback. Feels solid, and is ready to go.

  • Thule Canyon XT with extension on 2017 Honda CR-V
    The Thule Canyon XT with extension, part # TH859XT-8591XT can fit the 2017 Honda CR-V's OEM kit, but you'll have to do a few things to make it work. The roof basket will extend over the top of the sun roof, making it mostly unusable while the basket is installed on the roof. Second, you'll need to move the bars forward if able to better support the weight of the basket.

  • Comparing Thule Canyon and Malone Katahdin Roof Rack Cargo Baskets
    In terms of carrying capacity the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT beats the Malone Katahdin since the Thule basket/extension measures 69 x 40-inches as compared to the Malone which measures 61 x 38-inches. Despite its larger size the Thule Canyon with the extension piece actually weighs about one pound less than the Katahdin. If you plan to leave the rooftop cargo basket installed on your Passat at all times, even when you're not carrying anything in it, then there will...

  • Can Extension Piece on Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT Be Removed
    Yes, the extension on theThule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT can be removed so that you can use the basket in its original length of 49 inches. With the extension added the basket measures 69 inches long. If you think you will use the extension piece at some point on the vehicle then this is definitely the way to go, since it gives you the option of going with either the longer or shorter cargo basket. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.

  • Will the Thule Roof Cargo Basket Fit on Factory Crossbars of a 2009 Lexus GX470
    As long as the factory crossbars on your Lexus GX470 are spaced anywhere from 20" to 57" apart, you'll be able to use the Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT without any issues. Whether or not you can use your sunroof depends on if it sits below the crossbars when it's open, and where your crossbars are placed. In most cases, it's unlikely that you'll be able to open the sunroof with a cargo basket attached, but it does depend on how high your sunroof comes up and where your crossbars...

  • Does 2016 Toyota 4Runner Need Roof Rack to Install Thule Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT
    The Thule cargo basket part # TH859XT-8591XT needs to have a set of crossbars that run from left to right on the roof of the vehicle for it to install on. So for your 2016 Toyota 4Runner we have the Inno roof rack part # INB127 and # INFR which is a confirmed fit and would work well for the vehicle and cargo basket.

  • Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with Thule XT Roof Cargo Basket
    The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT can use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...

  • Can You Attach Mounting Brackets to Extension of Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket
    Good question, but the mounting brackets must attach to the front and rear section - and not the extension - of the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT. I verified this with Thule, and the reason is this allows for the most secure attachment to your vehicle's crossbars, with the most balanced distribution of the basket's weight.

  • Can I Use the Gladiator Utility Cargo Nets for My Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket?
    Yes! You can definitely use the Gladiator Utility Cargo Nets for your Thule Canyon XT baskets whether you have the # TH859XT or the larger # TH859XT-8591XT. For proper sizing, I reached out to my tech at Gladiator, and he said that if you plan on not using a lot of cargo with the smaller # TH859XT, the correct net size you need is the # GC77FR. Although, for the larger # TH859XT-8591XT or if you are planning to carry tall cargo on the # TH859XT, I recommend going with the larger 4' 9"...

  • Carrier Recommendation for a Shovel, Axe, or Oar
    For your application I recommend checking out the Yakima TopGrip Paddle, Shovel, or Axe Holder Brackets # Y04086 which mount directly to the roof. The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT doesn't have accessories specifically designed for it which is why we need to go with a separate carrier for your application.

    Yes, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT-8591XT which comes with the option to mount it using U-Bolts or T-Bolts will fit around the crossbars for the Thule Xsporter Pro # TH500XT. This basket will fit as long as the bars are between 20 inches and 57 inches apart. I have attached a review video for you to check out.

  • Recommended Tracks to Install on Leer 700 Fiberglass Tonneau Cover
    The Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks like the 63" # RTC16 are perfect for hard fiberglass tonneau covers like your Leer 700. For a complete kit that also includes the mounting feet and crossbars I recommend the Rhino-Rack # Y02-490B. Once the crossbars are in place the door is pretty wide open when it comes to compatible accessories. Just about any roof-mount accessory from Thule and Yakima will fit the Vortex Crossbars from the above-mentioned kit, such as the excellent Thule Canyon...

  • Can Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT Fit 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon and Hang Over Front
    It's not a safety issue to have a cargo basket like the Thule Roof Basket # TH859XT-8591XT extend past the roof line. It might add a little more wind noise but that's already to be expected with a basket like this. Aside from that as long as your crossbars are between 20" - 57" this basket will fit and work well on the roof of your 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon.

  • Availability of Roof Cargo Basket that's Around 68 inches in Length
    While Rhino Rack doesn't have a roof basket that's the length you are looking for I have a really great option for you. Thule has the Canyon XT part # TH859XT-8591XT which is the size you are looking for at 69 inches long and 40 inches wide. This also has an extension section that can be removed to shorten it down to 49 inches in length if ever needed. Check out the review video I attached as well.

    The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT will be a nice fit on your 2017 VW Passat. That doesn't mean you can't use the Thule Canyon XT with extension # TH859XT-8591XT, but it will give you an overhang which is only an appearance issue not a function issue. The extension does not fit directly in the middle, but is actually toward the front so when added is well supported by the crossbars. I've attached a photo to assist. The crossbar spread...

  • Could Thule Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT Fit Factory Bars of 2020 Toyota RAV4 TRD
    The Thule Cargo Carrier part # TH859XT-8591XT that you referenced should fit without problem to your 2020 Toyota RAV4 factory crossbars that are spaced between 20" - 57" apart on center. I don't foresee a problem at all but if you wanted to measure your roof rack to verify for sure that would be a great idea.
