Expert Reply:

The roof capacity of your 2016 Ford Explorer is 45 lb since you have panoramic sunroof. The versions of your vehicle that do not have the sunroof have a 100 lb weight capacity.

The Thule Motion XT part # TH629806 that you referenced weighs 20 lbs so you'd have ability to store up to 25 lbs of cargo safely in the box.
