When it comes to traveling, most people have to face the problem of limited storage space in the car. At this time, they often consider adding a roof box or roof rack outside the car to expand the vehicle’s luggage loading capacity.
Which one should be installed, the luggage rack or the luggage box? Let’s take a look at the differences between them.
Advantages of installing a roof rack:
Relatively cheap
The price of a roof rack is usually low, so you don’t need to spend too much money to buy one.
Expandable
Since the roof rack has no height and capacity restrictions, it is suitable for luggage of various shapes. When there are more luggage, it can be easily accommodated in the luggage rack.
Low wind resistance
Compared with the car roof box, when there is no luggage, the windward cross-sectional area of the luggage rack is smaller, and the impact on fuel consumption is also smaller.
Disadvantages of installing a roof rack:
Not anti-theft
Since the roof rack does not have a safety lock device, the items on the luggage rack are easy to be stolen during long trips.
Cannot withstand bad weather
When using the luggage rack, the luggage is exposed to the outside, which will cause damage to the luggage in bad weather.
Risk of falling items
When driving at high speed, scattered luggage items are unlikely to fall due to wind or bumps.
Advantages of installing a rooftop box:
Sealing performance
Since the rooftop cargo box adopts a box-type design and most of the roof boxes carry a safety lock mechanism, it can achieve waterproof, dustproof and anti-theft functions.
Disadvantages of installing a roof box:
Limited loading capacity
Compared with luggage racks, roof boxes have certain requirements on the size of luggage, so they cannot accommodate a large amount of luggage.
The choice of installing a roof rack or a roof box should be determined according to personal needs, budget and frequency of use. If you need a larger capacity and better protection performance, a roof box may be more suitable for you.
