Roof Rack Basket Needed for Use on a Malone Roof Rack Trailer
Question:
Would item TH859XT Thule Cargo Basket, fit on this Malone Mega Sport trailer?
asked by: Dave P
Expert Reply:
The crossbars of the Malone MegaSport Trailer # MPG535 are 68" apart and are fixed in their locations. The Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT that you referenced is compatible with a variety of crossbar spreads but the longest is 37".
Instead of the MegaSport I recommend going with the MicroSport # MPG460G which has a crossbar spread minimum of 44" and maximum of 63". This then allows you to use the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide, Item # Y07080-82.
