Prospective buyer question: Hemi exhaust

Yeah, that's the very first thing I searched for when I found this forum. It seems like a daunting undertaking. I was hoping one could order the factory rails and have the dealer install, but it sounds like the dealers won't even touch the job as it's so impractical to do.

Roof carriers are smaller, can't fit as much in them, a pain the the *** to load and unload, and no matter how sleek they are, they still create drag and hurt mpgs. The hitch carrier solves all of that. It's literally better in every way.

I do have the option of getting some rails installed by the local RacknRoad. They told me they do this stuff all the time. It wouldn't be cheap, and I'd have to wait until my lease is up and purchase the vehicle, but at least I now know if I get a vehicle without roof rails I'm not necessarily stuck that way in the long term.

You're right about everything but capacity. My Skybox holds 18 cu ft and it's not the largest model. That said, it's difficult to load it to capacity anyway. The hitch-mount boxes I've looked at so far hold less, but it's probably worth the convenience.

A Thule hitch mounted carrier should solve your cargo concerns.
