How Much Does the Roof Rack Crossbars and Rhino Rack Basket for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Weigh
Question:
I’ve got a 2015 cherokee with the roof rails running front to back. 150lb limit on the rails. From my understanding I’ll need cross bars for this to attach to being about 10 pounds. Now I’m wondering the weight of the rack as that may really limit how much more I could really throw on the roof.

Expert Reply:
In order to install a roof basket on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee you will indeed need to install a set of crossbars, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100 is a great option weighing around 15 lbs total. These can then be used with the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB02 which weighs around 40 lbs.
