Our Take on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Roof Rack: Worth Every Penny?

When we installed these cross bars on our 2022 Grand Cherokee L, we were immediately impressed by the build quality. The aluminum construction strikes the perfect balance between durability and weight, while the 260-pound capacity gave us confidence to load up for weekend adventures.

Installation was straightforward, taking us about 20 minutes without any special tools. The bars mounted securely to the factory rails with no wiggling or wind noise, even at highway speeds.

We’ve loaded these racks with everything from kayaks to camping gear, and they’ve handled it all without breaking a sweat. The wide bars provide plenty of surface area for multiple attachments, and we appreciate how they maintain the Cherokee’s sleek profile when not fully loaded.

For Grand Cherokee L and WL owners who need reliable cargo solutions, we think these cross bars are absolutely worth the investment.

We Test: Honda CR-V 220LBS Heavy-Duty Roof Racks

We recently got our hands on the 220LBS Roof Rack Cross Bars designed specifically for the Honda CR-V 2023-2026 Sport models, and we’re impressed with what we found. During our testing, the heavy-duty aluminum construction proved to be both lightweight and surprisingly sturdy. We loaded up various gear-from kayaks to bikes-and the crossbars remained rock solid even on bumpy back roads.

Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without any special tools. What caught our attention was the minimal wind noise compared to other aftermarket racks we’ve tested. The 220-pound weight capacity isn’t just marketing hype either; we pushed these racks near their limit during our adventure weekend, and they performed flawlessly.

For CR-V owners looking to expand their cargo options, these crossbars offer excellent value and versatility.

We Tested KitsPro’s 260lb Highlander Roof Rack: Worth It?

After three weeks of rigorous testing, we’re ready to share our thoughts on the KitsPro 260lb Roof Rack Cross Bars for the 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander. These matte black aluminum crossbars offer an impressive 260-pound weight capacity, which easily handled our kayaks, cargo box, and even a rooftop tent during our mountain excursions.

Installation took us about 30 minutes without any drilling or modifications. The heavy-duty aluminum construction feels substantial yet didn’t noticeably impact our fuel economy or create excessive wind noise at highway speeds-a common issue with aftermarket racks.

We particularly appreciated the secure fit on our 2017 Highlander XLE, with no wiggling or movement even on bumpy forest roads. While not the cheapest option available, the combination of high weight capacity, straightforward installation, and solid performance makes these KitsPro crossbars a worthwhile investment for adventure-loving Highlander owners.

We Tested Erkul’s Robust Roof Rack for Outlander Sport

After three weeks of putting the Erkul Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cross Bars through their paces on our 2018 Outlander Sport, we’re impressed with their performance. These silver aluminum crossbars installed seamlessly onto our vehicle’s fixed points, taking less than 20 minutes to secure.

What stands out most is the stability – even when loaded with two kayaks at highway speeds, there was minimal wind noise and absolutely no wobbling. The locking mechanism provides peace of mind when parked in public areas, and the aerodynamic design doesn’t significantly impact fuel economy.

The weight capacity easily handled our camping gear and sporting equipment during a weekend mountain trip. While pricier than some universal options, the perfect fitment for the Outlander Sport and quality construction justifies the investment for frequent haulers who need reliable, secure transportation for their gear.
