Toyota Highlander Cargo Carrier

I've used a Thule on our '04 V6 AWD. It does noticeably reduce your highway fuel mileage, can't give you an exact figure but from what I recall it was one or two MPG. It's been a great alternative for extra storage, particularly of light-weight bulky 'stuff'.

Thx for the reply. Can you tell me what Thule model you have and is there much noise from the carrier while driving?

Sorry, just saw your message and had to do some digging. We have a Cascade 1500. The size and dimensions were just right...69" long, 32 wide and 16.5 tall. The other Cascades were too long in my view at around 90". I do not recall there being any problem with increased noise; it might be that I'm too excited when going on vacation to really notice. I mount it as far back as I can on the roof racks so that it doesn't interfere with the lift gate when open. It looks good on the HL, too.
