Wondering if anyone with the first edition style factory roof rack has tried to attach a Thule or Yakima rooftop cargo box? Curious if this factory rack has clearance to attach the box and keep it forward enough for the rear hatch to open?

Should be fine, I donāt have a box but Iām putting a RTT up on top and it will just overhang the moonroof 12-16ā.Wondering if anyone with the first edition style factory roof rack has tried to attach a Thule or Yakima rooftop cargo box?

I have never understood the RTT āthingāā¦ why not just set up a tent? Donāt our truckās roofs have load limits? Do they stay on 24/7/365? Only to be used occasionally? And carrying around the added weight and the added wind drag is going to zap any chance at fuel economy.. Just asking..Should be fine, I donāt have a box but Iām putting a RTT up on top and it will just overhang the moonroof 12-16ā.
I bought an Inspired Overland XL which is an ultralight RTT at 86lbs. Light enough for me to take off and put in the garage when weāre not out on the trail. Not going to keep it up on top all the time so Iāll take the fuel hit when Iām using it. Static load limit is 600lbs on the FE rack / Dynamic is 165 so Iām all good on that front.I have never understood the RTT thingā¦ Donāt our truckās roofs have load limits? Do they stay on 24/7/365?
