The Discount Ramps team helps you determine which type of vehicle cargo carrier is the best cargo car top carrier or roof rack for your car, truck or SUV.
Maybe it’s the perfect weather for an unplugged weekend out in the woods, or perhaps you’ve planned a cross-country road trip to visit some friends. Either way, you have a lot of items to transport and not a lot of truck space. Instead of hitching up a trailer or loading up a hitch-mounted carrier, you want to load your roof for a hassle-free ride. Good candidates for roof cargo transportation are lightweight items that are too bulky to go in your trunk, but not large or heavy enough to merit towing behind in a trailer, such as bikes, luggage, kayaks, tents and similar items.
