Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Jeep Cherokee with Raised Roof Rails
Question:
I would like to install the Thule part # TH7501B-TH7502B? on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Altitude 4x4 with the panoramic moon roof. My Jeep has the factory installed roof rails running from front to back. I want to use this Thule crossbar system to support a Rhino Rack X-Tray Large which I already own. My question is, will there be enough free space on the Thule crossbars i.e., between the feet on each end of the crossbar to mount the X-Tray Large? I ask because, as etrailer staff knows, the X-Tray mounts to the crossbars fairly close to the sides of the X-Tray and want to make sure that the mounting points on the X-Tray which are a set of side-by-side tubular bars have enough free cross bar space to mount onto without overlapping the feet on each end of the crossbar. IF the mounting points on the X-Tray Large overlap the feet, this set-up will not work. Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
The usable crossbar space of the Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof rack part numbers # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced is 27-3/4 inches which shouldn't be a problem for your Rhino Rack cargo basket which I am pretty sure is the part # RMCB02. Since X-Tray is not the standard name for this basket you'd just need to simply measure the width of your current mounting brackets to see if the outside to outside dimension is less than 27-3/4 inches.
Thule has the wider crossbar setup as the Thule WingBar Evo part # TH711200 and # TH710401 which would easily accommodate your basket as well. These bars are 47 inches in length. I attached an install video for this rack on a 2019 Cherokee just like yours as well.
