Review: Great Cargo Box for our 2200 mile Adventure - We bought this to use on my 2017 Subaru Outback for our 2200 mile, 4 day road trip when we recently moved from CA to IL. It was easy to install, and fit on the crossbars perfectly. It was fairly lightweight too. I drove with it on my car for about 3 weeks while it was empty, prior to our trip, even though I know I wasn't supposed to, and it was fine (all local roads, no highways though). It held all 3 of our suitcases plus some pillows and blankets. It was a huge help for storage during the drive since my car was packed, as I had two 30 inch pet cages in the back with our 4 cats in them. We moved in December, so we were bound to encounter some sort of weather, and boy did we! On day 3 of our drive we were headed into a huge snow storm that spanned about 600 miles, which was to be our whole trip for that day. We wound up going north and out of our way to avoid driving in the snow storm all day, but we still drove in it for about 6 hours. It held up great, and the inside stayed dry even though the outside did get a good amount of snow and ice on it. There were a few hours where the roads made the drive really bumpy due to all of the ice and snow covering the ground, and it didn't budge or loosen up at all (we checked to ensure it was still secure every night when we stopped at our hotels). I was averaging driving about 65 - 74 mph during the entire trip, and it didn't seem to be a problem. My husband was driving his car behind me the whole time, and he said when I went over about 75 mph he noticed that it would shake and bounce around more, so I tried to stay below that (but honestly I went up to 80 mph at times when passing a truck for example). I noticed that on the 2 lane highways whenever a semi truck would pass me going the opposite way, my whole car would shake and I was really worried that the lock would break or that the cargo box would go flying off my car, but it held up great and did it's job. I would often slide the cover for my sun roof open so that I could check on it and see the bottom of the cargo box from through the glass, and I noticed that it would bounce slightly as I was driving from the wind but again I was going about 70 mph most of the time so that was expected, and it didn't cause any problems. I did not notice any wind noise at all, however I did get about 5 mph less average gas mileage than usual. It was very sturdy and got us and all of our stuff to our destination. I am happy to have it now for any future road trips, and would definitely recommend it as an inexpensive, sturdy cargo box. Review: Trunk Space? Never Heard of Her 😏 — This Box Hauls EVERYTHING - I didn’t realize how chaotic my packing game was until I slapped the SportRack Vista XL on my roof and suddenly became that organized road trip person. You know, the one who isn’t playing trunk Tetris while everyone else is waiting? Yeah. That’s me now. First off—this thing is BIG. Like, “why did I ever struggle fitting luggage before?” big. We loaded it up with suitcases, random camping gear, and the usual “just in case” items, and it still had room to spare. If you’re the over-packer of the group (no judgment), this is your new best friend. No fabric, no zippers to worry about.. The rear-opening design is a low-key genius move. No more awkward traffic-side balancing acts trying not to get clipped by a car while grabbing your stuff. You load and unload from the safer side, and honestly, once you experience that, there’s no going back. Installation? Way easier than expected. I was mentally preparing for a full DIY meltdown, but it mounted up without drama. It’s sturdy, stays put, and doesn’t sound like a haunted suitcase flapping around on the highway. And let’s talk durability—it handled highway speeds, wind, and a questionable rainstorm like a champ. Everything inside stayed dry and secure. No soggy clothes, no shifting chaos. Just… calm, organized travel energy. A couple things to keep it real: It’s not feather-light, so you might want a second set of hands to get it on your roof. It’s not the fanciest-looking box out there—but it’s practical, and honestly, it grows on you. Bottom line: if you need extra space and want to stop cramming your life into your backseat like a packing gremlin, this cargo box delivers. It’s reliable, roomy, and makes road trips feel way less stressful. 10/10 would absolutely overpack again. 🚗💨 ## Features - 18 cubic foot (510 L) internal cargo capacity - Made from durable UV-resistant ABS material - Rear opening for easy access away from traffic - Tool-free mounting hardware for easy installation and removal - Includes key and lock to secure contents in the box, and the box to your rack - Fits SportRack Rack Systems, square bars, round bars and most factory racks (check fit guide) - Dimensions (LxWxH): 63 x 38 x 19 in / 160 x 96.5 x 48 cm - Min-Max Crossbars Spacing: 23 5/8 - 29 3/4 in (60 - 75.5 cm) - Max Weight Capacity: 100 pounds (45 kg) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BCLL8C0 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,904 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1 in Vehicle Hard-Shell Carriers | | Brand | SportRack | | Brand Name | SportRack | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,288 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00770527905712 | | Included Components | Roof Box and mounting hardware | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 63"L x 38"W x 19"H | | Item Type Name | Rofftop Cargo Box | | Manufacturer | Thule, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | SR7018 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 25 years | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SR7018 | | Mounting Type | Crossbar Mount | | Product Dimensions | 63"L x 38"W x 19"H | | Shell Type | Hard | | UPC | 770527905712 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Volume | 510 Liters | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SportRack - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 40 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 63"L x 38"W x 19"H ## Images ![SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-m9ETIXeL.jpg) ![SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RltBIAPcL.jpg) ![SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H+EWm8xdL.jpg) ![SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91o+laDLuaL.jpg) ![SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R+WkeqbgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit a 2013 Outback? Do I need any other hardware that is not included to attach it to the 2013 Outback?** A: It should fit. I used it on a 2010 Tucson. You shouldn't need anything else to mount it. Comes with everything and love that it opens from the back, not on the side. You'll love it. Little expensive, but we'll worth it. Just need to make sure you have cross bars. Danny **Q: Will it fit a Subaru CrossTrek?** A: It DOES NOT fit the Subaru Crosstrek (2015) w/ OME Subaru aero bars. The U bolt is too short and the holes are drilled too wide. Will need to drill new holes, get longer u bolt, or buy new crossbars. **Q: I have a 2015 Subaru Outback. I'm hearing about this cargo box making excessive noise on Subarus. Does anyone have anything more on this topic?** A: I just ran 5,000 miles with this box on top of a 2015 Outback. Had no problems with annoying sounds from it, even in winds and 70+ mph freeway speeds. There is a slight whooshing sound that I only heard when I specifically listened for it. **Q: i have a 27 1/2 inch load bar distance, will the rack tie down on my rack? The description says minimum loadbars spread of 23 3/4", what is the max ?** A: Hi Christine, Yes, it will work with your bar spread. The maximum bar spread for this box is 29 3/4". Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Cargo Box for our 2200 mile Adventure *by J***M on December 18, 2020* We bought this to use on my 2017 Subaru Outback for our 2200 mile, 4 day road trip when we recently moved from CA to IL.

(Note the lift direction) *by N***N on August 25, 2025* I was able to fit four full-sized cots, mats, a tent, and plenty of sheets and blankets in this cargo bin. It was great—easy to install on my 2015 Pathfinder- and just as easy to take down after the trip. It stayed secure during a two-hour highway drive and back with no issues. Notes: The bin opens back to front, which can make accessing the cargo lock a little tricky (a stool or bucket helps). However, this design actually makes installation and removal of the bin easier, and it allows loading supplies from either side, which was very convenient. The locking latch and hinges don’t feel the most durable. That said, the latch stayed secure for our entire trip, and since we only plan to use this once or twice a year, it is fine for us. If you plan to use a cargo bin frequently, you might want to consider investing in a higher-end model. But for casual users who want something spacious, easy to install, and reasonably priced, the SportsRack XL is an excellent option. ## Frequently Bought Together - SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box,Black - TOOENJOY Adjustable 5 Gear Extra Protection Car Door Latch Step No Assemble Foldable Heavy Duty Car Gadgets Stand Pedal Ladder for Easy Roof Rack Access, Universal, Max Load 400LBS(Medium) - Snailfly Upgraded Roof Rack Cross Bars Fit for 2019-2025 Kia Telluride S SX SX-P EX Lockable Crossbars for Ski Kayak Bike Basket (Except X-Line and X-Pro) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1602247-sportrack-vista-xl-rear-opening-cargo-box-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1602247-sportrack-vista-xl-rear-opening-cargo-box-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
