Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Gloss Black
Super easy mounting system. We like the low profile; it still fits skis and snowboards for 4 ppl no problem! Looks great on our Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Minimal wind noise (any roof box is going to have that). We throw an old rubber yoga mat in the bottom to prevent stuff slipping inside and that works great.
I have a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica mini van.I was leary to order something that cost this much from an online retailer I never heard of but it worked out great. Ships freight UPS Freight/Tforce is who delivered mine. I had it sent to my work, not conde because of this. We get a lot of freight deliveries there. It was shipped promptly. The directions say to open & inspect before signing for it but freight drivers don't wait around for that. Mine was "Stopped & Dropped" as my receiving guys say. The box was damaged & it was strapped by 1 strap on a pallet. Thank goodness the Wedge was not harmed. I'm 5'4" & 60 years old. I had one coworker help me hoist it on the van. I stood in the side door to attach the front claws & he did the back cause I couldn't reach. At home with my step stool I can reach the back claws. At first I had it too far back because the rubber slits you place the claws through don't run the whole length. It literally took us 15 minutes to install. It's so easy. I did watch the video prior.Im pretty confident I can take it off with no help & possible put it back on. It's just I'm short, it's more awkward then heavy. On the way home I heard no noise at all. For the Pacifica I can add 108 pounds of stuff (150# roof capacity-42# box weight=108 pounds to play with). It will fit all my duffle bags,dog beds, all the crap I don't want inside so I can keep 2 dog crates, a bed pad & bucket potty inside. I wish I had a white van cause the white version is too cool but gloss black looks great on my granite gray van. Just get it!

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 Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
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).
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.

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.

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.
DIY Install: Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2023 Audi Q5
How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 on top of our 2023 Audi Q5. With compact SUVs, like the Q5, space is at a premium. So if you take a look in your hatch area, you already know that there's not a ton of space in there. So having a roof box like the Yakima SkyBox is gonna allow you to take advantage of the roof area to carry more cargo. The 16 cubic foot model is designed to cover about three additional people. If you have snowboards or skis, it'll accommodate up to 175 centimeters.
What our customers are saying:
"Impressive. Very happy with the cargo carrier and wow that was fast shipping."
