How to Determine if the Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box Fits a 2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road

Question:

Will the Thule Vector Alpine # TH613501 fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road with factory installed roof rack and crossbars? Note: The roof rack and crossbars are different on the TRD Off-Road than what comes on a standard RAV4. Also, according to the Thule website it doesnt appear that any of their racks are compatible with the factory installed crossbars on a RAV4 TRD Off-Road which I find surprising. Thanks

The easiest way to determine if the Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613501 will fit your 2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road, is going to be to measure your crossbars.

The Thule Vector Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613501 needs a crossbar spread between 21-7/8" - 36-3/4" and the crossbar height needs to be between 3/4"-1-1/8" with a crossbar width no larger than 3-1/2". You will also need at least 54" between your front crossbar and the line where your roof meets the hatch in order to open your hatch with the box installed.

You could also use the T-Track Adapter for Thule Cargo Boxes with PowerClick # TH27PQ if your crossbars have a 20mm t-track.
