An automotive accessory designed for a specific sport utility vehicle, these systems facilitate the transportation of cargo atop the vehicle. Typically constructed from metal or durable plastic, they attach to the vehicle’s roof and provide a secure platform for carrying items that exceed the vehicle’s interior capacity, such as luggage, sporting equipment, or construction materials.
The advantage of utilizing such a system lies in its ability to expand the vehicle’s carrying capacity without compromising interior passenger space. This is particularly beneficial for long journeys, family vacations, or when transporting bulky items. Historically, these systems have evolved from simple, utilitarian designs to more aerodynamic and integrated options that minimize wind resistance and noise, thereby optimizing fuel efficiency.
