Tyger Auto TG-RK1B942B Heavy Duty Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Rack | L57.5 x W42 x H6 | Roof Top Luggage Carrier | with Wind Fairing, Black

Installed this rack on our 2022 Kia Sorento with OEM roof crossbars. I should also mention we have the moon roof option as well in case you're worried about that (just don't open the moon roof while this is installed). I had this thing assembled and installed on the roof in an hour. This rack feels solid and I liked how it prevents water from entering assembly points by providing rubber gaskets. Very well thought out. Listened to the other reviews and didn't tighten down the front wind guard too tight and I've had no issues with it cracking. The actual adapters that mount it to the crossbars are very nice. One reason I liked this over the others was the cheaper options on Amazon have those dinky U-bolt adapters which people seemed to have some issues with. These ones are essentially heavy duty clamp style ones that comes with the higher end cargo racks. They have a nice weight to them, plus nice padding. The bolts for the adapters do require the special Allen key that comes with this to tighten and loosen. I'm guessing this is to make it harder for someone to steal this off your roof, so make sure to keep that Allen key in your glove box! With any roof rack/cargo basket, there's wind noise. There's really no getting around this. You might be able to dampen it a little with a modified wind guard, but that's only going to do so much. It honestly just sounds like you have your fans on high when at 70+ mph and I got used to it pretty fast. With cargo bag on top, it had an effect on my mpg, but not as bad as I though (maybe a loss of 2-3 mpg). With rack empty, I don't see a drop. Aesthetically, this one looks awesome. Compared to the cheaper options which are just rectangular baskets, this looks wayyyy better. I saw a few while on the road and am glad I went with this one. The cheap ones look cheap. All in all, this is worth the extra $$ compared to cheaper options out there. From seeing the cheaper ones up close, compared to this one, there is 100% a difference in quality. I even saw some Thule's on the road and this looked similar. I think this might actually be larger too. On top of that, its $200-$300 cheaper then the Thules. 5/5. Pay the extra and get this one.

Product is a solid build with large tubing and clean welds. It was easy to assemble. Once mounted, it feels secure and sturdy. Pros: Gauge of tubing- thick and strong Easy to assemble Rugged, aesthetically appealing Quality hardware Versatile and simple tie-down points Cons: Mounts to cross bars more adaptable to square bars, mine are teardrop shaped- still works, just takes more time to balance mounting post screws Some wind shear noise from plexiglass-cover Crossbar mounts don’t allow my sunroof to use tip-up function (this may not apply to most) All hardware screws use an anti-theft Allen key, so don’t lose it!! Removal- would be tedious for storage periods. TBD Hardware screws weather and rust-proof? Mileage- with empty load, may trend down slightly. Be prepared to accept 2-4 mpg reduction (**UPDATE 10/2024- after 3 months of use, MPG reduction is 2.5 miles less w/ rack empty**) Pitting on some welds- may rust- I plan to fill with black silicone. Union of front frame to rear- middle of rack- Joint could retain water. I wrapped mine with a rubber seal. Your roof will never be as clean before the install. Washing is a bit tedious with rack in place. Overall This product appears to be built to last. Time will tell as to its ruggedness, holding power, and finish durability. It’s value seems optimal considering a quality build for less than $200.

I recently purchased this roof rack, and I'm pleased to say that it has met my expectations and then some. Here's why I recommend it: Sturdy Construction: This roof rack is exceptionally well-built and sturdy. It can handle a variety of cargo without any issues, providing peace of mind during trips. Its durability is a standout feature, and it feels like a solid investment. Minimal Complaints: While, like any roof rack, it adds some wind noise due to its design, I can confidently say that this is a minor inconvenience compared to its overall performance. The noise is manageable and expected with any roof-mounted cargo solution, so it's not a significant drawback. Does the Job: Ultimately, this roof rack does precisely what I needed it to do. It securely holds my cargo, making it a valuable addition for my outdoor adventures. Its functionality and reliability make it an essential tool for my travels. For anyone in search of a high-quality roof rack at a fair price, this is a great option to consider. It's proven to be dependable, and its sturdiness sets it apart. I'm keeping mine, and I believe it will serve others just as well.

We needed a cargo rack/basket for our 2021 4Runner ORP to haul our camping and off-roading gear. We didn't need a high-end or permanent cargo rack since we also have a Thule Cargo Box for our snowboarding trips. I ultimately narrowed my choices down to this, the Rola V-Tex, and the Rhino Rack X Tray. Based on my research (and I did waaaaay too much, just ask my wife), these three met our needs and were all comparable. The Rola V-Tex is a fairly popular budget basket in the 4Runner community, but I was scared off by all the horror rust stories. That narrowed my choices down to this and the Rhino Rack. What's interesting is that these two racks look nearly identical, have similar dimensions, and have very similar features. I ultimately went with Tyger due to the price and the extra rust-prevention features. What I Like: This cargo basket was fairly straightforward to assemble. The materials are pretty solid and the welds look good. I was mindful of not over-tightening the wind deflector screws after reading about others cracking theirs. The size meets our camping/off-roading needs and is the perfect length for our 4Runner with a sunroof. Not to mention, it looks pretty sharp on our truck. I've seen a number of people checking out our truck when we have this on. What I Don't Like: My biggest problem with this product is that the included mounting hardware are too long and do not work on the 4Runner's OEM crossbars. I had two options... 1) Go out and buy shorter bolts, or 2) Throw my Thule Wingbar Evo bars on the truck. Despite increasing the profile of the rack, I opted for the second option. It would be great if they had lower profile hardware so that I could mount this directly to my OEM crossbars. Also, while not a complaint on my end since I've been using various roof racks for many years, beware that this will decrease your mileage and introduce some wind noise, especially if you have a sunroof/moonroof. Final Thoughts: While I've only used this basket twice, it has met all my needs so far. I haven't done any of the tricks mentioned by others to further waterproof and rustproof the basket since I do not leave this on our truck. I'm going to hold off on doing any rustproofing until I do see any signs of rust to see how the manufacturer rustproofing features hold up. I'll be sure to report back in the future about what happens. Yes, you can find cheaper baskets on Amazon, but based on my research, it comes at a cost. I currently recommend this to anyone looking for a solid budget cargo basket. Whether you're looking for something for your outdoor adventures or simply something to pick-up women/men while mall crawling, this is a great cargo basket!

Such a great accessory for my 2024 pilot this mounted cargo roof is sleek and looks amazing once installed. Best value for my money and super easy to install.

Put this on my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I love it. It looks great and it's extremely sturdy. I kept it on all summer long through multiple rains and car washes and it has no signs of rust, as read in previous reviews. You will notice your mpg drop a bit and the wind noise is pretty loud but you'll get use to it. It's kind of to be expected when you add a rack. My rack was missing a couple rubber washers for the wind guard so I reached out to their customer support who were very helpful and sent me out extras at no charge with fast shipping. As previously stated I've experienced no rust. I haven't done anything extra to insure it wouldnt rust either. With the rubber gaskets provided I don't see how water could enter the tubes if installed properly. Either that or this company has fixed the issue with rusting problems but all I can say is I love it and its worth the money! I live in Michigan where everything rusts... I'm not taking any chances and I want to save on gas and have no reason to use my rack in the winter so I removed it at the end of summer. But I'm pretty confident that it wouldnt rust through the winter either.

It's very very rare these days that I'm introduced to a new company that completely blows my mind. Tyger has done just that. This is the first roof basket we have purchased... so we were flying a little blind while shopping. We opted for the Tyger because it just looked well-designed, was well-reviewed and the price was right for our use. First off... the shipping was surprisingly fast. Immediately I noticed the quality of the packaging. Upon unboxing I was struck by the build quality and the simplicity of assembly. The fit was outstanding, the parts well built. It came together so smoothly and felt rock-solid on assembly. The packaging was efficient with very little waste and relatively little plastic / foam. I just kept saying how awesome the product was.. how awesome the design work was... how user-friendly it was. And then some of the smaller details sealed it for me. Down to the security allen screws for the rail bar mounts... just awesome, thoughtful, utilitarian detail. It honestly made me want to know what else this company makes... hell, I'd even go work for this company. Their attention to detail is that good. I love it. And it looks killer.

Edit / Update: 11-30-2024 I’ve had this roof rack since March of this year and lost both the “X” covers that cover the joint where the two pieces meet. I emailed their customer service to get replacements and they quickly responded. After sending in my proof of purchase, they sent the replacements out via FedEX. I got them today and put them back on. Great customer service and the roof rack is still going strong. I’ve had several roof cargo baskets over the years, and this may be my favorite. The size (width and length) is perfect, and sides are high enough to keep things in place without being too high. Item came in on time and there was nothing damaged in transit after removing it out of the box. Assembly was easy and quick. The only thing that is not included are the rubber sleeves that slip over the joints where the two halves connect (shown in the video). Thankfully I had some heat shrink tubing on hand. My only wish was that the wind fairing was thicker (at least 1/4”). Overall, great item, and it’s less than half the price of a well known brand that looks the same 🤨. Highly recommended!

Aesthetically, the rack looks really cool. It has a nice textured coating on it which will hopefully last. Since the basket angles inward at the top it is smaller than most. The inside width at the top is 30.5”. As recommended by other reviewers, I used silicone around the bolt holes and used blue loctite on the bolt threads. My only gripe is that the lower bracket that attaches to the roof rack hits my moon roof when I try to open it. I never open it, but it’s useless now. I like how the bolts that screw into the bracket are tamper free. Unfortunately, they only offer one proprietary hex key, so if you lose it good luck.

Fits my 2017 Ford Explorer well. Went together fairly smoothly. The quality seems good and I really like the look. Allowed me to mount lights to it no problem. Very happy!
