Yakima Cargo Boxes

Everywhere you look lately there seem to be cars driving around with stylish cargo boxes on their roofs. What’s in the boxes? Everything!

Yakima cargo boxes are a great example of these cargo carriers made for car rooftops, and they are indeed very versatile. With up to 21 square feet of storage and a sleek, unobtrusive look, these roof mounted gear boxes are popular for good reason. They keep cluttered sports gear out of the car, hold a good amount of camping gear or other items needed for a day or overnight trip, and are also affordable and easy to come by.

Yakima rooftop storage boxes for cars come in black (onyx) and silver colors (or titanium color) and are aerodynamic to help lessen drag while driving, most being made with lightweight and durable ABS plastic. Because they are so cool looking they have also become popular as a vehicle add-on, almost for no reason other than the image they convey of adventure and ‘lifestyle.’

Some popular models include:

• Yakima Skybox Rooftop Box and SkyBox Pro
• Yakima Rocketbox Roof Storage Box

Of course, other companies offer rooftop car storage boxes to carry cargo; such companies include Thule and SportRack. Prices are usually between $250 and $1000. Many also come with cargo nets inside for additional cargo security.
