Mitsubishi Endeavor Racks

Whether Mitsubishi Endeavors are cars, crossovers, or sport utility vehicles is a matter of perspective. Few cars are as versatile and few cars are as capable. For the large majority of Mitsubishi buyers, the Endeavor is suited for travel and carrying cargo, so you need a roof rack.

As the name implies, roof-rack side rails run the length of your Mitsubishis roof on both sides of the vehicle. For some, these side rails are enough for cargo storage. For others, the rails serve as the base from which to add hardware designed to carry specific gear. All Endeavors produced in all model years come standard with raised side rails.

Cross bars run the width of the roof and attach to the roof rails on both sides. To be fully utilized, most roof racks have not only raised side rails, but also adjustable cross bars. If your Mitsubishi came factory equipped with roof-rack side rails but not crossbars, Mitsubishi certifies a number of aftermarket companies that produce cross bars to exact Mitsubishi specifications. There are also a number of non-certified manufacturers that produce bars to fit your Mitsubishi Endeavor.

In addition to a wide variety of large-capacity boxes, there are roof racks available for specific sports gear. These include the following:

• Racks with lift assists that help load and carry a kayak or a canoe.
• Ski and snow board racks that protect the surface of the roof from scratches.
• Bike racks that carry road, hybrid, and mountain bikes.

Both vehicle roofs and roof racks are rated for load weight. If youve added side rails and crossbars to the roof of your Mitsubishi Endeavor and you want to use a box to carry your stuff, you need to subtract the combined weight of the rack components and the cargo box from the weight your Endeavor’s roof is rated to hold. For instance, Endeavor roofs can safely carry 100 pounds. If the rack and box weigh a combined 30 pounds, you can carry 70 pounds in the box. This is true regardless of the weight rating of the rack itself. Another factor to consider when loading your Mitsubishi is payload.

Payload capacity is the total weight of the passengers, anything stored behind the rear seats, and anything on the roof rack. The Mitsubishi Endeavor’s maximum payload capacity is 1,094 pounds. The weight of the passengers and all their gear, whether stored inside or out, should not exceed that amount.
