We will discuss the pros and cons of ski racks and cargo boxes to decide which is right for you.
They are usually made of aluminum, rubber, and plastic and come in different sizes and mounting types.
Easier To Load And Unload The ski racks are easier to load and unload skis than cargo boxes. The reason is that with a cargo box, you need more height to reach its top.
Prone To Theft Since your skis or snowboards are out in the open on the ski rack, anyone can see them. It makes the ski racks easier to steal.
Cargo boxes are a popular option that gives extra room to store more items, especially if your vehicle storage is limited.
More Versatile It’s always nice to have an extra storage solution to keep some extra stuff like luggage when needed.
Poor Gas Mileage A cargo box is heavier and bulkier than a ski rack. It adds to your vehicle’s weight and wind resistance, which may lower fuel efficiency and mileage.
