Thule Roof Rack, Cargo Box and Cargo Basket Fits for 2013 Honda CR-V  

Question:

We purchased a Thule 4 bike rack last year. We are looking to use a Thule large size cargo carrier on the roof. Can we carry four bikes plus the cargo carrier at the same time with our 2013 crv? Thank you for your assistance

Thank you for your purchase of Thule's Hitching Post Pro 4-bike hitch-mount rack # TH934XTR, which is among their best values in a hitch bike carrier. You'll have no trouble using this bike rack along with a Thule rooftop cargo box.

Roof cargo carriers, whether enclosed boxes like the Force XT # TH6356B or metal basket carriers like their Canyon XT # TH859XT, will require a roof rack for installation. This can be a factory-installed OEM roof rack that came on the vehicle or it can be a Thule or other aftermarket roof rack. If you have a factory roof rack on your CR-V then both of the carriers noted above are confirmed fits on your existing roof bars.

If you have no roof rack at all we can help you with that too. The most cost-effective roof rack option for your CR-V with a bare roof is the Inno square bar rack which consists of parts # INB127, # INSUT and # INK413. This roof rack will offer the best compatibility with roof-mount accessories from Thule and other companies, such as the cargo box, kayak carrier or roof bike rack if you ever want one.

A handy item for use with a rooftop cargo carrier is the lightweight and compact Telesteps folding step # TE97FR which comes fully-assembled and that makes for easier reach to your carrier for loading.

You'll want to confirm the roof weight rating in your owner's manual so you can keep the total weight of your rack, carrier and contents within the car's limit.
