Is it legal to install a rooftop luggage box on an SUV?
1 Answers
It depends. For passenger vehicles carrying cargo on the roof rack, the height from the roof must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the total height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters. If the vehicle originally has a roof rack and you install a rooftop luggage box, it is legal as long as it does not exceed half a meter in height. Similarly, if the loaded items do not exceed half a meter, it is also permissible. Otherwise, it is illegal. Here is some information about rooftop luggage racks: 1. Definition: A rooftop luggage rack is a device installed on the roof of a vehicle for carrying items, which helps increase interior space by placing items on the roof. Rooftop luggage racks are convenient for carrying a large number of items during travel. 2. Disadvantages: Installing a rooftop luggage rack increases the vehicle's wind resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Therefore, if it is not used for an extended period, the rooftop luggage rack should be removed. Rooftop luggage racks are suitable for mid-sized to large vehicles such as commercial vehicles and off-road vehicles.
