We Tested Leader’s 150LB Capacity Roof Cargo Basket

After several road trips with the Leader Accessories Roof Rack Cargo Basket, we’re impressed with its practical design and durability. The 64″x 39″x 4″ dimensions provided ample space for our camping gear and luggage, while the 150-pound capacity handled everything we threw at it without any issues.

Installation was straightforward on our SUV, taking about 30 minutes with basic tools. The basket’s aerodynamic profile minimized wind noise and didn’t noticeably impact fuel efficiency on our highway drives.

We particularly appreciated the powder-coated steel construction, which stood up to heavy rain and direct sunlight without showing signs of rust or fading. The raised side rails kept our cargo secure, even on winding mountain roads.

For anyone needing extra storage space without compromising vehicle performance, this Leader Accessories cargo basket offers excellent value for its price point.

We Tested the BougeRV Aluminum Roof Basket: Worth It?

After several weekend adventures with the BougeRV Aluminum Roof Basket, we’re ready to share our verdict. This 47″x40″x8″ carrier impressed us with its lightweight yet sturdy aluminum construction, which handled our gear without adding excessive weight to our SUV. The anti-rust coating stood up admirably during a particularly rainy camping trip, showing no signs of corrosion afterward.

We appreciated the included wind fairing, which noticeably reduced noise at highway speeds compared to previous carriers we’ve tested. Installation was straightforward, taking our team about 30 minutes from unboxing to secured mounting.

The 150-pound load capacity proved sufficient for our needs, comfortably carrying camping equipment for our group of four. While the basket lacks integrated locks, we easily added our own security system to protect our cargo during rest stops.

During our road test, the rack held steady at highway speeds with minimal wind noise. The low-profile design (just 5 inches tall) didn’t significantly impact our fuel efficiency, which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone needing extra storage space for outdoor adventures, this ARKSEN roof rack delivers impressive performance for its price point.
