Can I Carry A Rhino-Rack Zenith Rooftop Cargo Box On My Toyota 4Runner 2022 With Factory Crossbars

Question:

Hello! Looking for a box that can fit our skis 180 cm longest skis, and will work with our 2022 4Runner with factory bars. I believe the measurements work, but wonder if the box will clear the antenna? Thanks for your help!

The Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black, part # RRRMFZ66, is not going to fit your 2022 Toyota 4Runner's factory roof rack. The crossbars are too close to the roof of the vehicle for the clamps to attach without contacting the roof of the vehicle. In addition, the shark fin antenna will interfere with the mounting of the box.

Your best bet is to attach a roof rack to the raised rails of your vehicle. That will give your roof rack the necessary height to attach a rooftop box for your skis. I recommend the 2022 Toyota 4Runner Roof Rack by Rhino Rack
Roof Rack Includes:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2, part # RRVA137B-2, and the
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4part # RRSX100.

This roof rack has a weight limit of 165 lbs. It comes with elliptical shaped crossbars that help reduce noise and aid in fuel efficiency. The crossbars t-channel is compatible with channel mounted accessories and traditional roof rack accessories that clamp to the crossbar. It can also be secured to your vehicle, keeping your rack safe. Once this rack has been installed you can install the Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black, partt # RRRMFZ66,on your Toyota 4Runner. The resulting height of the roof rack will allow you to clear the shark fin antenna on your vehicle.
