Cargo boxes, bags, and baskets are great for transporting gear on your vehicle's roof. A cargo box has the added benefits of an aerodynamic shape that reduces drag and wind noise, a hard shell to protect your gear, and a higher degree of weather resistance. And you can latch and lock a cargo box for added protection against theft.
This Trunx cargo box has 9 cu ft of space for sports equipment, camping gear, or luggage for up to 4 people. The aerodynamic shape helps to reduce wind noise and drag. The box opens from the side so you can load and unload it from the passenger's side of your vehicle. U-bolt mounting clamps accommodate most crossbar styles and can be installed in minutes without tools. And the durable yet lightweight HDPE thermoplastic construction prevents warping, denting, or cracking.
Side-Opening Lid
The box features a side-opening lid so you can load and unload your gear from the passenger's side of your vehicle.
The box features 2 metal struts that support the lid while loading and unloading. Each strut raises independently from the base and latches in place on the lid.
Built-In Locks
The box includes 2 integrated locks on the passenger's side of the box. These locks secure your gear inside the box, and they also help secure the box to your crossbars by denying access to the mounting hardware.
Safety Latches
The latches on the front, rear, and passenger's side of the box help ensure that the box is completely closed before you get underway. The latches must be open to load the box.
Three metal pins secure the latches in place. These pins can be swapped out with padlocks (not included) to provide additional security.
Tool-Free Installation
The box installs quickly with U-bolts and hand knobs. Just slip the U-bolts over your crossbars and thread them through the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the box.
Once the U-bolts are in place, set the metal plates over the ends and tighten the hand knobs to secure the box. The box mounts to crossbars with a 22" spread without modification. Crossbars on some vehicles are not adjustable so you make need to drill additional holes in the bottom of the carrier for the right fit.
You can increase the maximum crossbar spread to up to 30" by drilling additional 5/16" holes in the floor of the box. These additional mounting holes should be drilled adjacent to the reinforced area of the box floor.
Rugged Construction
The Trunx cargo box is constructed of a high-molecular-weight and high-density polyethylene thermoplastic. This heavy-duty material resists scuffs, scratches, and cracks better than ABS plastic. It also holds up to prolonged sun exposure and inclement weather.
Convenient Storage
When the box is not in use, simply remove the lid and place it top down inside the base. This makes it easy to store while taking minimal space.

Customer service goes a long way in my book and how an item is presented on its website I've boughten stuff from etrailer before for my prior truck and always had an amazing experience with Etrailer.this is my first cargo box for my new to me Subaru Impreza sport hatchback and doing research on buying one wasn't easy but etrailer made the process quick and painless with exactly what I needed and dimensions were spot on and instructions were perfect couldn't be any more happier with my purchase.the trunx's brand box perfectly compliments my car and looks awesome on it thanks again etrailer you guys rock

Although I just received the Trunx Carrier, and it has been raining almost continuously here, I am impressed with the quality of the product. I still have to drill four new holes to mount the carrier, but you provide on your web site a great video specific to that job. I hope to get it mounted this weekend, and see how long my wife (who does all the driving) allows me to keep it on the van. We won't really use it until mid-April.
That etrailer.com made it easy to find a carrier, and videos for our Chrysler 2014 Town and Country Van, gave us a secure feeling about the purchase. I just wish they were located a bit closer to Southern CA. Hope to add photos once it stops raining, and I am able to install the carrier.

It work great. We fit most of our camping gear and no problem on the road. We already used it multiple time, trips range from 300 to 1,000 miles.

This worked out perfect for a project that I just got done building. This is my scratch-built single wheel motorcycle trailer.
by: Cris02/13/2023
Not exactly water tight,not as heavy duty as I had hoped, but it will do the job. I expected it to be thicker plastic, and a foam seal between the lid and bottom. I keep my jack, booster cables and other hand tools in mind. It works.

Still happy with the cargo carrier.
by: Alex02/23/2021
Used this on a cross-county road-trip and it worked great! We drove through all kinds of winter weather--snow, rain, ice, high wind-- and the contents seemed unscathed.
The installation was relatively easy--bolted onto my Thule square bars on top of my Prius. The box felt very secure and did not move around or shake at all. I've used longer cargo boxes on top of my Prius and could see them shaking in the wind, so the shorter length was much appreciated. We did get lower gas mileage than normal and felt some wind drag from the high profile of the box, but that was expected.
I would not want to take this box on and off frequently because the bolt process is kind of slow.
Great customer service from etrailer and fast shipping. Great experience overall!

Thank you for your review. If the u-bolt mount is inconvenient you may consider the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07334 which has a quick built in mounting system. It is more expensive but it is much more convenient to attach to the roof rack.
by: Kevin08/08/2018
I bought this car top carrier a year ago. I needed extra storage for our pilgrimage to Florida. Yes, we are snowbirds and proud of it. It is approx. 2700 miles round trip. I’m happy to report the carrier worked flawlessly and provided the extra capacity we were looking for. I would highly recommend this carrier for build quality and a great price. We look forward to heading south again this December and with this carrier we have one less problem to worry about. Note, we added tie down straps for extra security. Not sure this is necessary, but it gave us a little more peace of mind.

Great, no regrets
by: Doyle10/07/2023
Very flimsy, wrong support arms for the brackets that were installed, bottom brackets for the locks are installed so for up when locked and latched it doesn't hold the lid down enough to hide half of your famous yellow sticker. I'm 73yrs old and have seen a lot of Chinese junk, but you have come close to topping them all

I bought this product not knowing much about roof cargo carrier's. I was looking around and doing research when I bumped onto the etrailer website. I decided to browse then finally call etrailer. I had the pleasure of getting Geoffrey as my sales rep. He helped me get my roof rack and this item the roof cargo carrier for my 2014 Honda Accord . I was concerned because I was short on time and I needed it for a road trip to celebrate my daughters birthday in another state. Well after Geoffrey helped me understand what I was buying he also assured me that my items would be delivered very quickly and he was right. I received my items less then a week after I ordered them. I mounted them on my car took me about half an hour to assemble and install on my vehicle. I then went on my road trip and this product was hardly felt while I was driving. If I didn't know that I mounted it I would never had known it was there. No noise, no driving drag. Worked perfectly. There are others a lot more expensive but this 1 is the 1 I needed and I was not disappointed. Thank you Geoffrey and etrailer for all your help will be looking to purchase other things in the near future. You guys made my trip a success.
by: Jack03/14/2019
Just the size needed and quite true to stated measurements. Since the car does not have room for a spare tire, I plan to use this to carry one on extended trips. Had to give a lower rating since the rear lock plate is mounted slightly lower than the front and would not engage until bent up. The rear lock is also loose in the mount and the back edge is caved in so the lift pin tries to go on the outside instead of inside of the bottom. Have forced alignment and placed in the sun to see if the heat will correct the pin alignment problem. Will try to tighten lock assembly later.

We purchased this product in order to take our daughter to college. Having a small SUV with limited space, we decided to look for carriers. After looking at carriers online, I was starting to become discouraged at the high prices. Then, I stumbled upon etrailer.com that had exactly what I was looking for. They were also selling this model for half the price of others I was looking at on other sites. Anything that I was able to find at a comparable price were made out of materials that would have shredded going down the highway.
For less than $300, we will have plenty of room to take our daughter's items to school and the comfort of knowing that this will hold up during the 4000 mile round trip. It seems to be sturdy enough for years of use.
by: John05/23/2018
You get what you pay for and for the money it's not bad. Plenty of room and easy to install. The mounting hardware is wimpy but seems to be doing it's job. I imagine I will upgrade the hardware at some point. The shell it's self is kinda flimsy but when it's all closed up and latched down it stiffens up. Doesn't seem to move at all traveling at highway speeds and I haven't noticed any new wind noise. If you're going to tour the country living out of your car for 4 yrs this is not the cargo box for you. Using it here and there for family vacations seems to be more of what this cargo box can handle. It's not a direct bolt on application for a Subaru Outback but it's not hard to make it work either. I would also recommend getting some lynch pins for the lid clamps instead of the little spring clips that the cargo box comes with.
by: James11/27/2020
I installed the Trunx on a Toyota FJ Cruiser. It was an easy install and holds a lot. Attaching the lid was a little tricky, but perseverance paid off. It may be easier with two people. With the lid up, it seems flimsy, but when latched and locked, it is solid. Drove full at highway speeds with no problem. Surprisingly quiet. One issue with the arm that props the lid open. One side has the hole drilled a bit too small and requires a lot of force to attach. I will try to file it larger as both arms are needed when lid is up. Still very satisfied.
by: Mark 06/29/2023
We haven't left on our trip yet, but so far, both the product and the service have been outstanding. A special thanks goes to Will (ext. 72986) who took my call at customer service when my projected delivery date was dangerously close to my own scheduled departure. Will was polite and took action to get my carrier going out the door that same day.
by: Jeffrey M.12/16/2018
This roof top carrier for the price is a great value. I installed this on a 2012 Subaru Outback in about 40 minutes as I had to drill new mounting holes for the rear rack bar. The rack bars on the Outback are not ajustable. Other than that you would not need any tools if your bars are adjustable and would only take 20 minutes to install. From what I see this will work great for our family.
by: Lucas11/13/2017
Let start from the beginning. The process of search, order and make the decision on the site is extremely easy. The purchasing process was easy and I had the order shipped the same day of the order. The order arrived in 3 days since I made the order, I am still surprised how fast arrived.
The assembly process was easy and the instructions covered everything. The only problem I found was that my Subaru rack can't be adjusted. Therefore, I made some little modification to the holes location. Once I did, the roof cargo assembly was completed.
To test the modification and the roof cargo performance I drove 300 miles. The car managed perfectly, there was no vibration, sound or anything that ruin a smooth drive.
The final rating:
Site and Purchase 5+
Delivery 5+
Assembly 5
Overall Performance 5+
I am a happy customer.
by: Joyce 08/08/2023
Lightweight so I can put it on /off the SUV roof myself
Water resistant not waterproof yet alerts you in the instructions to take extra precautions
Easy to assemble
Just the size I wanted/needed
Overall very satisfied with the product and price.
I recommend as long as your not looking for something totally waterproof
by: Gregory07/05/2023
Junk...lousy hinge and worse locking mechanism. I would have returned but I had to modify mid trip. Do not buy. First disappointment fro etrailer.
by: Ken 2020 outback06/09/2022
Happy with my purchase and was as expected. Flimsy plastic as expected for the price. I expect it to perform just fine without any issues. Needed to drill new holes to fit the 2020 outback but I already knew that when purchasing. Overall I think this is well worth the money until I can upgrade to a bigger and harder shell. Shipping was fast and I have no complaints about this cargo box or the service I received.
by: John10/04/2021
Great size for my Jeep Liberty. Easy install even having to drill new holes for the mounting brackets. Looking forward to putting it to use in a couple of weeks.
by: Todd05/18/2019
So far so good.... shipping was very prompt and the install wasn't bad. I had to drill new holes in the rear for mounting but no big deal. The plastic is a little lighter gauge than I expected however I'm satisfied with the product. I haven't driven the vehicle with it installed yet but we'll be heading to Yellowstone next week so it'll get plenty of test miles.
I'll update the review after using product.
by: John 04/30/2023
I like almost everything about the car top carrier except that it’s somewhat hard to keep the top open when loading it. It has worked out well on our trips, kept everything dry and gave us the extra space we needed.

- Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box that Can Fit Cargo that Measures 39x12x11.5Due to the taper on the sides of the front of the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR it would not fit your cargo, so you'd need to go with the larger size part # TRX34FR.

I looked up your recent order with us (thanks so much!) and discovered that you have the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-490B. With the aero-styled crossbars on this system, unoftunately you will not be able to use the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carier - 9 cu Feet # TRX44FR. This is because the mounting clamps on the Trunx are not big enough to grasp the 1-1/2 height of the aero bars. A great alternative is the Thule Sidekick Roof...
view full answer... - Which Roof Rack And Rooftop Cargo Box Allows Functionality Of Panoramic Roof On 2020 Ford Escape?It really comes down to which roof rack you install onto the flush rails on your 2020 Ford Escape since that will determine how high off the roof the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black # INBRA220R-BK will sit.

I talked to my contact at Thule and confirmed that these crossbars will sit high enough to allow full functionality of your panoramic roof. The complete roof rack system that you need...

First, though, the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box, part # INBRA220R-BK, does not fit your crossbars, as you said. It fits spreads 30" from center to center, and your 2004 Volvo S60's bars sound like they are over that. As for drilling, that can technically be done for any cargo box. However, we don't have any documentation for that with this box, so I can't guarantee it will work. We do have experience with the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier, part #...

Make sure the bars are less than 3-3/4 inches wide and also between 22 and 30 inches apart measured on center and you'll be good. The box comes pre-setup for a 22 inch crossbar spread but if you're willing to drill it can fit up to 30 inches. This...
view full answer... - Will The Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR Fit On a 2022 Honda Pilot Touring AWD? The Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR is designed to fit on rooftop crossbars up to 3-3/4" wide and 1-3/16" tall. The crossbars should be spread 22" but can be spread up to 30" but will require you to drill. You will need to determine if your roof rack matches these dimensions or if you are needing a roof rack I will need to know if you have any rails on your roof.

I recommend getting Erickson Sliding Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ Safety Hooks - 1" x 14' - 400 lbs - Qty 2 # EM97JR which will suite your needs well.

Outside of a rooftop cargo box, the best solution is likely going to be something like the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 7 cu ft - 55" x 19-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB200 which can be positioned sideways on your 2019 Nissan Kicks and shouldn't overhang the sides.

view full answer... - Roof Cargo Box that Can Fit OEM Crossbars of 2017 Infiniti QX60So the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR that you referenced can fit crossbar spreads of up to 30 inches but that dimension is measured on center between the bars and not the distance between the bars. So if you have 30 inches from the center of one bar to the other bar center this will work, but if not you'd need to go with something that fits a wider spread like the Sportrack Horizon part # SR7011 which fits bar spreads of up to 35 inches.

- Will Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier Fit a 2018 Chevy CruzeThe Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR will fit your 2018 Chevy Cruze but you will need to drill into the cargo box to adjust the mounting hardware for it to fit. The Trunx is built to fit with a 22" crossbar spread which is pretty short in terms of a roof rack. The Rhino-Rack Vortex system (parts listed below) has a crossbar spread of 25-9/16" which is the closest to fitting what the Trunx requires, but still far enough apart that you'd need to modify the box.

Instead, one option is the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier # TRX44FR.

I confirmed with Trunx that it is not be a good idea to try to extend this box out to 31" as 30" is already the max that you can safely go. I would look into the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft # SR7011 which fits crossbar spread of up to 35". This is a larger box than the Trunx; it measures 88-1/2" long, 21"...

What might be your best option would be an enclosed hitch mounted cargo carrier like the # Y62VR to carry the cargo at the rear of the vehicle. You'd need a hitch installed too on the vehicle if there isn't one present like with the # C13087.

We only used the carrier for a week. It worked fine, and I was happy to find that our van had the right fittings for mounting it. The one detail your video missed was how Chrysler has neatly hidden the mount in plain sight. My one problem was that the referal I was given to a local company for installation was ignored when I called them. But once I realized how easy it was, your video was very helpful, and I got it mounted. We may need your carrier in the years to come, if we move to Oklahoma.
