Will Thule Cargo Basket # TH859XT Fit On 2012 Jeep Patriot

Question:

Do you know if a 2012 Jeep Patriot could accomodate the Thule Roof Rack th859xt with the 20inch extension #XT8591XT included? or do I need to stick with the rack alone and not get the extension? thanks

If your 2012 Jeep Patriot has crossbars are spread apart between 20 inches and 37 inches, the Thule Roof Cargo Carrier # TH859XT is a good fit. This cargo carrier is 49 inches long and the Thule Cargo Basket Extension # TH8591XT will add an additional 20 inches to that. You could always purchase the basket first to ensure a proper fit, then purchase the extension later if needed.

The basket has a weight capacity of 150 lbs, but check your vehicle owners guide to ensure your roof can handle that much weight. I have provided a link to a video showing the installation of this product on your vehicle and a link to the installation instructions for this item.

To keep your cargo secure while traveling, I recommend the Cargo Net # CS54FR. This 36-inch by 48-inch bungee net will hold your gear securely without damaging sensitive or fragile items.

This rack also offers locks # TH450400 to deter theft of your rack.
