Do Curt Cargo Baskets Work With a Rhino Roof Rack?

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, December 21, 2016

Do Curt Cargo Baskets Work With a Rhino Roof Rack?

Our customer asked: I have a Rhino roof rack setup and want to order a cargo box and extension from Curt. Are the two brands compatible?


Curt Cargo Basket with Rhino Roof RackThe answer is yes - Curt baskets will work with a Rhino Roof Rack as long as the spread of the bars meets certain guidelines. The crossbar spread (the measurement between crossbars from centre to centre) must be either 15, 22 or 29 inches apart. Because these measurements are typical to most roof rack brands the Curt cargo basket will also work with Yakima, Thule & Rola racks. Adding an extension to this will not affect it's compatibility & no additional hardware will be required to complete the install. Visit our Roof Cargo Basket section to view all of our available roof mout cargo basket options.

The Rhino-Rack Backbone is fitted to the internal chassis of your Jeep Wrangler (or several other vehicle applications), re-enforcing the strong design and distributing the weight of your gear evenly over the body of the Jeep. The Backbone is made of cast aluminium point mount pads, connected internally with steel frames to the interior body of your Jeep. All of the external parts of the system are powder coated to match the appearance of your Jeep.
