Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket — Black One Size, 150 lb Capacity, Low-Profile Aerodynamic Design

The Thule 859XT Canyon XT is a low-profile black roof basket that expands your vehicle's cargo capacity while keeping gear secure and accessible. The Canyon XT combines a rugged tubular-steel frame with a tapered, wedge-shaped profile so you can haul bulky items without sacrificing aerodynamics or style. Designed to mount on Thule racks, round bars and most factory rails, this one-size basket gives you 150 pounds of load capacity and a roomy internal footprint for weekend gear, work gear, or travel luggage.

How much gear can the Canyon XT carry?

This roof basket supports up to 150 pounds of evenly distributed cargo and measures 41 x 39 x 5 inches internally, offering a broad flat area for boxes, bags, and loose equipment. The wide internal dimensions let you stack items or secure larger pieces with straps or cargo nets.

• Maximum load capacity: 150 pounds (68 kg)
• Internal dimensions: 41 x 39 x 5 inches
• Wedge-shaped profile for efficient packing and reduced wind resistance

Will it fit my vehicle and roof rack?

The Canyon XT mounts to Thule rack systems, Thule Aeroblade and Xsporter bars (using included T-Track hardware), round bars and most factory roof rails. Adjustable mounting hardware accommodates barspreads between 20 and 37 inches for flexible installation across many vehicle types.

• Fits Thule racks, round bars, and most factory racks
• Mounting hardware included with T‑Track for Thule Aeroblade and Xsporter bars
• Compatible barspread range: 20–37 inches

How does the Canyon XT protect cargo and reduce wind noise?

The basket’s tapered side walls and included wind fairing help streamline airflow over your load, minimizing turbulence and noise at speed. The tubular-steel construction and reinforced attachment points keep cargo stable, while the raised sides help prevent items from shifting during transit.

• Included wind fairing improves airflow and reduces noise
• Tubular steel frame offers strong, stable support
• Raised, tapered sides make loading easier and secure cargo

What accessories and setup options are available?

Accessory crossbars can be added (sold separately) to carry bikes, skis, or additional gear and to lock longer loads in place. The Canyon XT’s open-grid base pairs well with cargo nets, straps, and boxes for customized storage solutions depending on your trip.

• Accessory crossbars sold separately for added versatility
• Works with cargo nets, ratchet straps, and rooftop boxes
• Simple bolt-on installation with included mounting hardware

Who is this for: The Thule Canyon XT is built for drivers who need robust extra cargo space for road trips, outdoor activities, trades work, or moving bulky items without switching to a larger vehicle. It’s a practical choice for owners of Thule rack systems or vehicles with crossbars who want a durable, easy-to-install carrier that balances capacity with a sleeker, lower profile.
