Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket for 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
Question:
I am looking for a cargo basket system that will be mounted over my truck cab. I dont really want an entire load system although I realize that I may have to have load feet and crossbars before I mount a basket. Id prefer a basket that could mount directly to the load feet. My crew cab is stock and has a channel and I do not want to do any drilling. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
To utilize a cargo basket on the roof of your Ram, you'll need a roof rack with crossbars as we don't carry a roof rack that would directly mount to a vehicle roof without using crossbars.
The most cost-effective way of doing this would be to install a roof rack from Rhino Rack, which would consist of the following components:
Vortex Aero crossbars, # RRVA150B-2 for black or # RRVA150S-2 for silver
2500 Series Leg Kit, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle Specific Clamp Kit, part # DK043
Rhino Rack also offers a reasonably priced compatible roof rack, part # RMCB.
