We Test the ARKSEN Universal Roof Rack: 150lbs of Cargo Power

We recently got our hands on the ARKSEN 54 x 39 x 5 Inch Universal Roof Rack, and we’ve been putting it through its paces. This spacious cargo carrier impressed us with its robust 150-pound capacity, making it perfect for our weekend camping trips. The steel construction feels remarkably durable, giving us confidence even when fully loaded.

Installation was straightforward-we had it mounted on our SUV in under 30 minutes without any special tools. What we particularly appreciated was the extension feature, which allowed us to customize the storage space based on our needs.

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.

We Tested the Ultimate Chevy Equinox Roof Rack System

During our month-long testing of these roof rack cross bars for the 2018-2019 Chevy Equinox, we were consistently impressed by their performance and versatility. The aluminum construction strikes an ideal balance between durability and weight, while easily handling the advertised 300-pound capacity when we loaded it with bikes, camping gear, and even a kayak.

Installation took us about 35 minutes, with the adjustable design accommodating various load widths. We particularly appreciated the anti-theft locking mechanism that gave us peace of mind when parked in public areas.

The aerodynamic profile kept wind noise minimal even at highway speeds, and we noticed only a slight decrease in fuel efficiency. Our only minor critique would be that the included instructions could be clearer, but once installed, these cross bars proved to be an exceptional addition to our Equinox’s cargo capabilities.
