Product Description
Family camping trips can be a little cramped, as even the smallest tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks take up a ton of space in the car--and that doesn't account for the coolers, camping chairs, canopies, and family dog. Enter the Yakima SkyBox 18 rooftop cargo box, which stores a bunch of your gear in a single, out-of-the-way location. Designed to fit crossbar spreads as short as 24 inches, the SkyBox 18 includes quick-installation mounting hardware that accommodates round, square, and most factory crossbars. More importantly, the SkyBox 18 offers 18 cubic feet of storage space, so you don't have to cram everything in the trunk or back seat. Thanks to the drag-minimizing aerodynamic shape, the cargo box won't dramatically boost your gas consumption on long road trips. Other details include an extra-stiff lid that vibrates less than other cargo boxes and is easier to open and shut with one hand; an integrated track system for such accessories as a cargo net or base pad; a new lid shape that's easier to grip; an improved security latch that keeps your stuff safe; and a black matte anti-scratch finish. Also equipped with SKS locks, the SkyBox 18 measures 92 by 36 by 16 inches (L x W x H).

yakima skybox pro 18 is a winner
By Bubba
Shipped fast and is a great buy for the money. saved over 200 buying here. The skybox locks down on my stock GMC Yukon rack easily and is very secure. opens smooth and is pretty sturdy compared to some of the older boxes Ive used in the past. heading out this week on a road trip, but so far very happy with this purchase. fits my 6'8" surfboard just barely at an angle, but it fits and that is the important part. Great features and like I said for the money great buy!

Silver Bullet
By John Lee Pettimore
Bought this to use on a Honda Odyssey. I chose this one based on ratings, cost, aerodynamics and color. The color was almost a perfect match for the Odyssey.
The Skybox installed easily with two people, both over 6'0" tall. It would be near impossible for anyone under 6' tall to install (on a Honda Odyssey) without use of a ladder. Make sure you're aware of that, because if you're using it to travel to a beach condo, and discover upon your arrival that the box will not clear the low overhead of the parking garage, it could be problematic if you need to remove while on your trip.
Installation was secure, there was no bounce or rattle, and very little wind noise. This is a great product for creating extra space resulting in a comfortable trip.

This cargo box is AWESOME. And the price is great!
By JL
I have an Audi Q7. Bought this for my family of 5 for a ski trip to Tahoe.
Pros:
1) It is the best price out there. Purchased with the $125 rebate from Yakima. It was cheaper than a used one on Craigslist.
2) Once you get the settings on the clamps (there are 4 - two front, two back), this thing is really easy to get on and off the car. My wife didn't complain once.
3) Light enough to handle. For the size, it is NO problem for me and my wife to get on an off the car.
4) Minimal wind noise. I thought that it would be noisy. Not too noticeable. However, on my friend's Range Rover Sport (to whom I recommended this unit), it was quite a bit noiser. I think it has to do with how far back you mount it.
5) Sturdy. I was doing 90+ on the highway. Solid - no problems.
6) Size. I fit 5 pairs of skiis and boots, 4 snow boards and boots, 5 helmets. NO problem. And I had room left over! I would not take a road trip without it.
7) The finish on the SkyBoxPro is NICE. It is a perfect match to my black car. It looks really good - if that matters to you.
8) No noticible gas mileage impact. Could also be that the car is a gas guzzler to begin with. I got 21MPG on the highway. Similar with or without. I was expecting a big difference, but it was similar.
9) Free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime! Are you kidding me? This thing is sooooo big in the box. Arrived within 2 days (FEDEX). If I bought this at a store, I would have had to mount it on the car at the store to get it home. This way I just put it on my over the weekend on my own time.
Cons:
None, other than now I have to figure out where to store this thing. Maybe ceiling or side wall brackets in my garage. My wife is going to love this new little mini project.
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS BOX. ESSENTIAL FOR ANY ROADTRIP!
