Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
great, matte finish and the Large size is perfect for a 2016 Subuaru Crosstrek. Doesn't look egregiously large, but has substantial storage space. The only drawback is that the locking mechanism sometimes has difficulty locking because of all the plastic components, which is annoying, but just requires a little more TLC.
I got this to expand the storage of my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek on road trips and camping trips. It's a great fit on my car. It's super easy to attach and detach from the roof rack - just set it on the crossbars, locate where the clamps should go, then turn the knob on each clamp until the jaws are tight enough. No worries about not tightening enough or over tightening, because the clamps act much like gas caps where they start clicking when the proper clamp force is achieved. I haven't experienced much moisture while using this, but due to the design of the adjustable clamps there is a small chance that water could get into the cargo compartment from the bottom. Another added bonus of this specific cargo carrier with my specific car is that the small diamond haircell texture matches the texture of the black cladding of the Subaru Crosstrek really well. Overall, I am super happy with this purchase with no complaints.

Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs
We mounted this on a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, fits and looks great, took us about an hour.
The product it’s self is great. It’s a Thule product so you know what you’re getting when you order it. Very stylish and the coating on the basket seems like it will hold up. This is something that is not meant to be taken on and off regularly. It does take some time to install the basket. I did it myself in about an hour. I do feel like the plastic wind shield on it could have had a better set up. Doesn’t look to strong but time will tell etrailer customer service also gets 5 stars I ordered this on sale on Black Friday. The item took about 2 weeks to ship but once it did it only took 2 days to arrive. I recieved several emails updating me on my order status which was great comminitication. It seems that basket was delayed due to supplies from Thule because other retailers stopped taking orders on it. Overall the basket looks great on my Subaru Crosstrek and is what I expected from the product.

Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 Cu Ft - Matte Black
It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.
Great size box, the latching function is very particular though, you have to be able to completely close it with no resistance or it won't lock. It sounds annoying but it's a very good indicator that the box is secure and won't fly open on the freeway. We've used it for cross country trips and it's held up great, not much noise from it, a little but nothing that was too annoying. Definitely worth the money for extra storage.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
The package arrived very quickly, can't wait to use it. All the parts I have received for my Crosstrek from etrailer have even rite on. Thanks.
I can see why people consider the box a bit flimsy, especially when you do not have it secured to the car and nothing is inside. That’s normal. For this to weigh 34 lbs and yet to be wall sturdy and provide waterproof conditions that the bag cannot, it has to be lightweight. Once we attached it to the car at 4 points, it wasn’t going anywhere and was instantly sturdy. I wouldn’t roughhouse with the locks or opening it up and down with force however. Also, 14 cu for a sedan is plenty. Anything larger and you are looking to push the limits.

This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!

This was so easy to put together. It fits great on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. I plan on loading all the camping gear in it when we go on vacation. The folks at ETrailer.com have been great inn keeping me up to date on the status of my order.
What our customers are saying:
"We got the cargo bag and used it on the DrawTite cargo rack with no rails and took the whole load up and over the Smokey Mountains! What a fabulous product!"
