Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
We were looking for a cargo box to fit our 2021 Mazda CX-5. Finally decided on the Thule Pulse L based on other reviews and pictures. We have the box mounted on OEM cross bars. The box is a perfect fit - clears the fin and doesn’t interfere with the hatch. It was so easy to install too. I am pretty sure this is the largest box that we can use on this vehicle. The width just about takes up the entire space. We haven’t taken it on its maiden voyage yet but so far the fit is great.
Excellent car top carrier (not that I've had many to compare it to). Easy to install and remove, sturdy, and fits well on our Toyota Siena. Opening it is a little tricky, as sometimes the top sticks to the bottom a bit. Adds a lot of extra storage to our car, great for when we go camping. Great experience with etrailer.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
After a year of dependable use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box continues to perform to my needs, wants, and expectations. The 2 attributes that shine the most are ease of access/cargo loading (rear access vs. side) and ease of off/on (lightweight and access to the U-bolt hardware). While the overall quality of the materials and hardware are not quite "Excellent", they're darn close. For my needs I'm very happy with this cargo box and the price point makes it a better option the the more expensive brands. It may not be as cool and groovy as a Th*** or Yak*** box but it gets the job done.
The Roof Box was as described and fit great -- Nice. Shipping however was not good, trucker dropped it and the skid at the foot of the driveway -- It looked like it had been crushed and dropped. There was some slight damage, but we accepted it as complaining would be more trouble than it is worth. E Trailer should vet their carriers better -- no care taken with this shipment.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.

Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black
Amazing box. We added it to our lambo for rallies. Used sea sucker mounts.
So I really needed something that was both small but still had lots of room to fit on top of my ND Rf Miata and this was the perfect size. So the method to attach it is quick and pretty easy and I'm able to do it myself without really needing a second pair of hands which is convenient.

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
Save your money and do not buy this product, it's poorly manufactured to say the least. 1), the plastic gauge is way to thin making the final product to flimsy. 2) while the order information asked me for make, model and year of vehicle it did not match factory rail specifications. The factory roof rack system for Honda CRV is not adjustable and the 22 inch spread identified for product does not work for Honda installed roof rack systems. 3) lastly, the hinge design on this unit is poorly designed and will not align without modifications to bend the tabs so that they properly align with the slots. Once again, do not waste your money on this product.
I am not completely satisfied with this product, although it holds things ok. Made of plastic that is very flimsy/flexible. Would be better if it was rigid plastic. Also find the support holders are a bit difficult to put onto the little pegs (can't really see them do to being inside). Purchased for our make and model and still had some difficulty installing. Was not pleasant and I usually enjoy doing projects.

Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Matte Black
My original INNO box I bought back in 2013 and during a wind event in Colorado, it sounded like a Teradactyl landed on my car and ripped open the top. I spent a month researching boxes and still chose the INNO. This is the new and improved version of what I had before. I like the metal clamps that hold it onto the crossbars, instead of the plastic claws on the former. It also is just a titch taller, longer, and wider that will be an asset with skis during the winter and camping equipment during the summer.
I use this box about twice a year when I drive from Missouri to Florida and back. It lets me pack most of our stuff on the roof so we can keep the 3rd row up and fit 4 adults and 3 dogs comfortably for the drive. The only thing I would change is The box has hand knobs with nuts inside them and the nuts fall out. Easy to put back in but it'd be better if they just didn't fall out.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
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.
Bought this box to hold camping gear while on a cross country road trip. You can put quite a bit of stuff in it. Held securely to roof rack and kept contents dry. I liked that the key could not be removed if lid wasn’t completely closed. Minimal affect on gas milage.

Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 Cu Ft - Matte Black
my rooftop carrier! It was perfect for our golf clubs. etrailer was wonderful. Great communication and it arrived on expected date.
It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.

Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
I just ordered my 2nd cargo box from e- trailer. I really like this box and have ran it on multiple vehicles. Definitely recommend
This was a great experience from start to finish. etrailer: After placing the order, I called regarding shipping and quickly got the answer to my question. The box shipped by ground freight, and arrived almost a week before the original scheduled delivery date. The Rhino arrived perfect with protective wrap, and all the required parts. Rhino Rack: This thing is awesome. Unless you jump up into the $1000+ price point, your rooftop carrier options are limited. My two requirements were to fit my skis (181 & 183 cm) and to allow my tailgate to open fully. The Rhino delivered! Bonus that both baby strollers fit as well (Instep baby trailer and Vista Uppababy). Only a week in, but so far the Rhino box and MasterFit clamps seem solid. The ratchet/locking mechanism on the clamps is just ok, you don't have to twist too hard to over power the lock or feel like you are stripping something internally. The hinges are beefy, but don't take up a ton of storage space. It opens from both sides, and you can't remove the key unless it's locked, which is nice for those of us that don't enjoy picking up our stuff on the highway. Also, if you're like me and spent way too much time on mr-box.com, you'll be pleased to know that this thing doesn't look lame. It's pretty sleek, somewhat low profile, with a touch of Euro. It's not too wide, even on the narrow rails of the A4 Allroad there's extra bar space. I could probably squeeze an upright kayak rack, small ski pinchers, or for the ten of us in the world that own RoadShowers...the RoadShower 4 fits no problem. I definitely recommend a Rhino from etrailer.

SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black
Excellent box with moderate difficulty putting it on the roof. Once it's installed on the car it's great. Not too much wobble at highway speeds and keeps everything inside dry. Nearly no wind noise as well. Only gripe I have is attaching this to the roof bars. The far side connectors are a bit hard to reach.
It takes up most of my Subaru Imprezas roof. It will definitely hold everything we need it to. Communication from etrailer and shipping co were great. Installing the cargo box was super easy.

Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
This is a great car-top carrier. It is light and easy to install and move around. The opening and locking mechanisms also work well. I drove 5 hours with it in the rain and no moisture made it inside. eTrailer was also great when ordering. The freight company lost the first one and eTrailer simply sent me a replacement. Great company to work with.
Great product from a great company I bought this rooftop box for my daughter last year when she moved from Georgia to Oregon. It held well even in ran and snow. This is my second Thule rooftop box. I wish I had bought the first one from etrailer. They have great prices and great customer service.

Inno Box 2020 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
Originally purchased this for a Snowboarding trip but had to cancel it last minute, but I did end up using it for a golf trip. I was able to fit 3 full sets along with a couple travel bags. Having a CX-5 this was a bit too big for my roof but was able to position it well enough to be able to still use the rear hatch. Whether fully loaded or empty the carrier is not even noticeable while driving.
We have used our Inno roof box on a few long trips and I am very happy with it. I like how low profile it is and the fact you can open it from either side which makes packing it much easier. Doesn't seem to negatively effect MPG that much either.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy
This rooftop cargo carrier is exactly what I wanted. Well made and super easy to install. Thank you for the fast service.
The box is big (XL), shiny and sleek. Looks great on our 2021 Subaru Ascent. It weighs about 40lbs, so I was able to simply lift it up and onto the stock Subaru cross bars by myself with a bit of effort going towards balance. Then it was just a matter of attaching the clamps by hand tightening them. I don’t think it could get any easier. The locking mechanism is very assertive and secure. The box is big and can hold just about anything you’d need on a road trip. However, on a midsize SUV like the Ascent, it seems like the perfect size, not too small, not too big. It’s a good fit. Unfortunately, my small 2 car garage is too low to accommodate the vehicle with the box in place. Overall it’s a very refined and well thought out package.

Inno Box 320 Rooftop Cargo Box - 9 cu ft - Matte Black
Perfect size for 4 snowboards. Bought this to get the boards out of the truck. Didn’t want something too big. I love that it is a matte finish and very simple. After adjusting my cross bars it was pretty easy to install and remove. Looking forward to taking it to the mountains.
Love my Inno roof box. I had the top shell paint matched and love the way it looks. It’s not too big/long and just big enough to hold a spare wheel/tire, jack and emergency gear. Also very happy with customer service at e-trailer; my box arrived with minor shipping damage and they were very responsive to take care of it. Lastly, I researched and shopped around A LOT and hands down, e-trailer has the best prices for virtually all roof box brands and models.

Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss White
1st shipping was quick, and the transaction was smooth with etrailer. The Inno Wedge is sleek, very sturdy, fits my white Q3 perfectly. I use it for skiis, but I may use it for travel gear when needed. xo thanks for an awesome item.
The INNO roof box 660 was delivered yesterday without a scratch, a relief. After unboxing it didn’t take much time to figure out the amazingly easy clamping system. So easy! After I tested out the double hinge I drove 85 miles between 70 and 70 mph and it was stable and really quiet. Which is good because the Tesla is a really quiet car and excessive wind noise would not be good. Good purchase, would highly recommend. Now time to fill it with stuff…….White box on white car works really well also. Looks custom made….

Inno Wedge Plus Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Matte Black
Bought this as a) it fits my wife's Subaru Outback and my Toyota Highlander and b) either vehicle will fit into the garage with the box attached (key functionality when leaving it mounted for multiple months during ski season). Box has performed well so far having gone on its maiden voyage atop the Outback to VA for Xmas and an epic 28-day adventure on the Highlander to CO this past summer. Easy to mount and dismount (even with crossbars that sit a mere 7/8 inch off the roof on my Highlander) and wind noise increase has been barely noticeable. Well-built and I love the latch/lock and liner/mat. etrailer was great at quickly answering my questions regarding dimensions prior to purchase. Would highly recommend.
Haven't had a chance to really test it out yet, but looks great for carrying ski and snowboard gear and fits on my Kia Sportage with Thule aero bars perfectly. Box seems much sturdier than the previous Thule Pulse box I used to have and this one opens on both sides which is nice.

Yakima DeepSpace 10 Rooftop Cargo Box - 10 cu ft - Black
Great solution for over the short bed on my Rivian R1T where my old roof box wouldn’t fit. The rectangular shape makes the most of the short length. I could likely fit two side by side over the bed if needed. Installation was fairly easy. I do wish the clamps were engineered to go on and off more easily. At each corner it requires two thumb screws on very long studs that come from underneath and then through a top plate, so 4 loose parts per corner have to come off to remove it. The build quality is fairly good but I guess I expected better for the price. Even the Yakima stickers are misaligned on the outside. It also says in the instructions that it comes with straps to hold down items in the box, but there were no straps included with mine. Overall it will definitely get the job done and a perfect fit over my truck bed, with only minor quibbles.
Fast and correct service every time. Delivered when promised. etrailer doesn’t disappoint.

Inno Phantom 466 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Gloss Black
Great, high quality cargo box. Perfect size for my Land Cruiser. We are able to fit numerous items inside. Everything from beach chairs to small luggage/bags. Have traveled through numerous storms with no leakage. Very little if any noise while traveling on the highway. Highly recommend this product and doing business with etrailer. Best price and customer service.
The box is great! It was easy to put on/off and looks like it will be a great size for gear storage. I was disappointed by the delivery and handling. There was some cosmetic damage when it arrived. The side had been pushed in enough to make the black finish turn white. I would suggest being there to inspect the package upon delivery since this is coming by freight. I asked someone to do this on my behalf and that turned out to be a mistake on my part. Never the less it’s a great product, well built (it didn’t break from poor handling, and etrailer was great to work with.
