Excellent roomy cargo box. My wife’s luggage even fit (see photo). Fit the top of my Forester like it was meant to be there and the hatch opens without obstruction. Great shipping by etrailer.com via Estes freight shipping (almost overkill on shipping).

This is a larger roof box, but it fit just fine on our Subaru Forester. Holds a lot of gear for camping, and it's long enough to carry cross country skis too.

The box is great, kept everything dry. No noise or rattle. Dont skimp out on a good set of rack bars. Easy install. Made it 3000 miles up the AlCan highway.

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.

I replaced an old Thule box with this. My opinion is that the locking mechanism, the clamping system, and the hinges are superior to the Thule's. Especially the locking mechanism. I used to have to wrestle the Thule box to get things lined up so that I could close and lock the box. And the bonus is that this box was less money (than an equivalent Thule) and eTrailer shipped it for free!

Fit was perfect will be using it for a long time to come it heavy for one person to try and load it up on the vehicle though

Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.

Our family of 4 took two trips with this box. One was a week-long driving/camping trip from Texas to Appalachian Mountains. It has plenty of room for sleeping bags/tent/chairs/misc. We drove about 80 mph on open highway, drove through rainstorms and had no problems. I have a 2013 Toyota 4Runner and needed to buy crossbars that fit my vehicle before installing the box. I learned not to leave loose clothing in the cargo box while driving on the highway. Small clothing can get sucked out of the small sliver of an opening created along the side while driving fast. Now I put towels, dirty clothes in a duffel bag to prevent this. Remember to avoid parking garages!

I used this with my 2014 Subaru Forester, yakima roof rack system. I traveled across country, from North Carolina to Arizona, with this on, and it worked great! I had it completely full. I didn't even realize it was on the roof! I would recommend this.

This box looks great and seems easy to assemble. I was looking for an 18 cu ft box that would fit both a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi and and a 2014 Subaru Forester and this box seems to meet our needs. I did have to drill a couple of extra holes in the bottom to fit the Fusion, but that's okay. Great product and great price. The support staff was awesome as well. Thanks Guys!

2020 Subaru Forester Cargo Carriers Questions
- Yes, the Thule Motion XT L # TH629706 will fit on the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216. In addition the Malone AirFlow2 will work with your factory raised rails on your 2020 Subaru Forester. There will be enough roof on your roof to allow you to install the Thule Motion XT L in a way that will allow you to open your rear hatch on the vehicle.
As far as security and locks, The Malone AirFlow2 comes with integrated locks on the towers that secure the crossbars to the raised side rails...
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B will fit and work great on your 2020 Subaru Forester.
If you don't have the factory roof rack then you'll also need a roof rack kit - for that I recommend the Yakima JetStream system because it has some adjustments in the legs that make them so that the crossbars are exactly level.
Naked Roof
50" Yakima JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425
SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR
Landing Pad 22 - # Y00248
Locks Cores - # Y07204 (optional)
Raised Rails
50"...
view full answer... - The Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails, part # C18118, are an excellent choice for your 2020 Subaru Forester and will work well with a cargo box.
Both the Yakima and Thule boxes will work fine, but I recommend the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box, part # TH6358B. It has 18 cubic feet, giving it more space to accommodate golf bags than a 16 cubic-foot box.
I've linked to a video review of the box below.
view full answer... - The Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG901 will fit a crossbar spread of 25" -27". From what I could find it looks like the OEM crossbars can be adjusted on your 2020 Subaru Forester so you'll have to make sure that you can get the crossbars within that spacing.
If you'd like something a little bigger with more adjustments in the mounting hardware then I recommend checking out the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box # TH614 which fits a crossbar spread of 23-5/8"-33-3/8"...
view full answer... - While the Thule Motion XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft # TH629706 provides a lot of coverage from rain and other elements, it is not rated as water-tight. Where the top and bottom halves meet, the edges are rolled a full 180 degrees. Water would have to come straight up from the bottom and turn 180 degrees to get inside. If you are concerned about water infiltration, we always recommend our neighbors in rainy areas throw their luggage or cargo in a plastic bag so if any moisture...

What our customers are saying:
"Hey I just wanted to thank you guys for your excellent service from ordering, delivery, answering questions, and helpful honest suggestions.

I wish all companies held their promises as yours apparently does.You just made our vacation that much easier and pleasant with your excellent product!! Sincere thanks, John and Janet"
