Mounting a Thule Cargo Carrier on 2017 Chevy Colorado

Question:

Jameson, It probably doesn’t matter but we use the Thule Force Roof box instead of the basket. Are the mounting parts you referenced the same for the box as the basket?

I wish there was a great solution that would allow you to install a ladder rack with your tonneau cover but the only ladder racks we offer that can fit with your tonneau would have a load bar spread that would be too wide.

What about a roof rack for the cargo carrier?

Thanks for your response. A roof rack for the Thule would work but I was hoping to make access easier for both my wife and I but that may be our best option.

I would agree a roof rack is your best option. So for that the Thule Wingbar Evo part # TH711420, # TH480R, and # THKIT1714 would be what you'd want for your Thule basket. This rack is very easy to install/use and gives the most aerodynamic shaped crossbars available so wind noise would be minimized.

Yep! Your Thule Force XT part # TH6358B would fit and work well with same parts.
