We can check really quick just by taking a couple measurements. First, make sure your crossbar spread is no more than 29 inches. Then, open your back hatch on your 2018 Honda CR-V and measure from the tip of your rear hatch to the back of the front crossbar. If the measurement is more than 54-3/4 inches then you can use the Thule Force XT 22 cu ft # TH6359B. If it's less than 54-3/4 inches but more than 51-1/8 inches then you can use the Thule Force XT 18 cu ft option # TH6358B. If it's less than 51-1/8 inches but more than 47-1/2 inches then you can use the Thule Force XT 16 cu ft option # TH6357B or the Force XT Sport # TH6356B.

When you're installing the box have your rear hatch open before you secure it to your roof rack system. Check out Collin Installing the box on a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder to see how it installs! Also, I've included the instructions from Thule about the Hatch Clearance with their cargo boxes.
