Roof Rack And Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation For 2006 Volkswagen Touareg With Naked Roof

Question:

Hi - My 06 Touareg has nothing on the roof other than the groves that it came with no bars. What do I need to put a Rhino basket like this on my roof? Is this the best one for my car if I want the highest capacity available, with the least amount of drag and most ease of installation? Looking for a good look in black that is quality. Do you ship to APOs? Thanks!

For your 2006 Volkswagen Touareg with the naked roof I first recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack. The aerodynamic crossbars let you build an extremely quiet roof rack for your vehicle. The crossbars feature channels that allow you to attach various accessories that either wrap around the crossbar or mount in the channel. to order this roof rack system you need to order part # RRVA137B-2, Part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK054.

The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket, part # RMCB02, would be a good fit for the roof rack system I recommended. This roof cargo basket measures 57 inches long by 42 inches wide and has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. The basket weighs 49 lbs. this basket also comes with a fairing that is designed to reduce noise and wind drag.

I have attached a helpful article that explains our shipping policies. If you have any other questions about shipping you can call our good folks in Customer Service at 800-298-8924.

You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership and make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Touareg.
