Will the Yakima SkyBox 21 Accommodate a Box that is 22 H x 17 W x 37 Long?

Question:

I need to travel in a few weeks with items that wont fit in the car, such as a shipping box thats 22inch H x 17inch W x 37inch L. I also have a travel case with golf clubs in it that needs to fit. Will this or any other roof top cargo box fit these items?

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Yakima SkyBox 21 # Y07337 (or any other cargo box we carry) will not accommodate the 22-inch height of your shipping box. However, the Yakima SkyBox 21 will accommodate your travel case and gold clubs.

For an alternative way to travel with your travel box, a hitch-mounted carrier is the way to go. I recommend the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # C18110. With the Curt Cargo Carrier, you will need the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ Web Clamps and S-Hooks - 1-1/4" x 12' - 667 lbs - Qty 2 # EM31353. The great thing about using the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Downs is that the hooks can secure into the mounting holes on the side of the Curt Cargo Carrier in order to adequately secure your box to the carrier.

If you need a hitch recommendation for your vehicle, I would be happy to assist you if you provide your year/make/model.
