Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket In Black For 2018 Toyota Prius
Question:
Hey there, i’m looking for an all black roof rack for my 2018 toyota prius, i saw the rhino rack and it seems to have good reviews. Also saw some youtube videos of you guys installing it. And it looks amazing, But not sure never owned one. How about a cargo basket as well?

For your 2018 Toyota Prius I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack which uses 49" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars- Black # RRVA126B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK467. This is an all black roof rack system like you are wanting, gives you 49" of useable crossbar space to fit plenty of accessories, and a 165lb rating though you will need to confirm the rating of your Prius's roof and use the lower rating between the rack and your roof.
I recommend the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07138 which is black like you were wanting, has a 165lb load rating which is a few pounds higher than the Kuat Vagabond X, and includes two load bars allowing you to add a bike rack like the Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount # Y02098 if you need to carry your bike on top.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
