It fits in the trunk well of a Model X (two side by side) or on X-Rack Carriers, hitch cargo carriers, and roof top racks.

Packing the X-Rack Bag for Your Trip
Start by choosing your placement: inside the trunk well of a Model X (two side by side) or on an X-Rack Carrier, hitch carrier, or roof rack. For trunk well use, the bag sits flat and is easy to access. For rack use, lift the bag onto the carrier, then use the D-Rings on top and sides to pass tie-down straps through and secure the bag firmly. The bag has a waterproof zipper top, so you can pack items that need protection from rain or dust.
The bag includes removable carry straps, which help when loading or unloading. Since tie-down straps are not included, you will need to supply your own. The bag’s D-Rings are designed to accept straps from multiple angles, so you can cinch it down tightly to prevent shifting during driving.
For a road trip, consider packing soft, compressible items like clothing, sleeping bags, or camping gear. The 16″ height limits tall items, but the 42″ length provides generous space for long items like folding chairs or a tent. If you plan to use two bags in the Model X trunk well, measure your well first to confirm both fit side by side.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The supplied record does not include a maximum weight limit for the bag, nor does it specify recommended tie-down strap length or type. For rack or hitch use, you will need to choose straps that are long enough to reach around the carrier and through the D-Rings. Also, no installation or assembly instructions are provided in the catalog, so the bag likely arrives ready to use with the carry straps attached.
If you are using the bag on a roof rack, ensure your rack’s load rating exceeds the combined weight of the bag and its contents. For hitch carriers, verify the carrier’s tongue weight capacity.
