BMW X5: the best low-profile cargo box

September 13, 2011

Rack Attack Team

At Rack Attack Coquitlam we carry and stock over 30 different cargo box's made by Yakima, Thule and Sport Rack. I had a customer come in with a nice newer BMW X5 but he need a box that was low profile and long enough for his skis.

Also he wanted to have a cargo box that was sleek and stylish so we suggested the Yakima Skybox 15 lowpro in Onyx which just came out this spring in that finish.

The other box the customer was considering was the Thule Boxter 18 which is also a nice looking box but was too high to clear his under ground parking at his place in Whistler. In the end we tried 4-5 different box's on the customers car and he ended up going with our first suggestion. As we both agreed it looked the best, was very easy to get on and off the vehicle, plus it even comes with a solar panel with a built-in light. So at night you can see your gear in the box.

At our Rack Attack Coquitlam store we have over 15 cargo boxes on display at any given time and more than 20-30 different sizes, colours, and shapes to fit anything from a Smart car to a stretched expedition limousine.
