If you like to drive out of town and carry a lot of things with you, then this is not a reason to buy a big car. An ordinary car can be equipped with an additional roof rack or rear luggage system. Even in the basic configuration, there is a variety of additional equipment, including car mats , but the car owner will have to choose the trunk himself.
Luggage systems are offered to customers in several modifications. For example, roof rails are very common. These are the longitudinal bars that are installed at the top of the roof, and sometimes they are included in the standard equipment of station wagons, crossovers and SUVs. Of course, it is possible to install such a device additionally. Roof racks also vary in design. The first option is when the arches are fixed on classic supports, which themselves, in turn, are fixed on the roof. The second modification assumes that the integrated roof rails are in direct contact with the body surface. This type of roof rails sometimes acts as stiffeners for the body.
The next type of trunk is autoboxes. Many of you have seen a car on the roof of which a special streamlined plastic module is installed. This is the autobox. It has many advantages. It is convenient to put all things in it without packing them. The sturdy plastic construction provides excellent protection against thieves, so your luggage is safe and secure. From the inside, the autobox has a sealed chamber that reliably protects things from dirt and dust. As mentioned above, it has an attractive, streamlined shape and therefore always looks beautiful on the car. When choosing an autobox, pay attention to the method of closing the lid. The cheapest option is a spring mechanism, and it is also more reliable. Another option is shock absorbers, they are more convenient to use, but at low temperatures they can freeze, and then the autobox will not open. In more modern autobox models, there is a system that allows you to open the trunk from both sides, this greatly facilitates the loading of things. A special sensor signals when the box is open, which helps you remember to close it before driving.
