Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier Review - 2018 Ford Escape- Video
Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we have the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket, and we're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2018 Ford Escape. If you're looking for a way to carry around some extra cargo on your Ford Escape, whether it's because you have a long road trip and you're running out of space inside your vehicle or maybe there's just some large bulky items that you'd prefer not dirtying up the interior of your car, that's where a basket like this comes in handy. It's just gonna be a large basket, so your items can get piled up on top of it, but you do have to be mindful that since it is open to the elements, you have to be considerate of those elements and making sure that everything is strapped down. So if that's something that you're interested in, let's take a look. This is gonna be a large basket and I do like how it fits our Ford Escape because it almost completely fills in that roof fitting in between our raised rails, but also not sticking too far out. more
