How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at the Thule Force 3 11 cubic foot rooftop box on our 2023 GMC Acadia. Adding a rooftop box to the top of your vehicle is going to help you to increase your cargo capacity. It'll let you get those bigger, bulkier, and sometimes dirty items on top of your vehicle when you're out on the road. The thing that's special about this guy is the fact that it doesn't take up your whole roof, so you can add additional accessories. So let's take a closer look and see how well it fits on our Acadia. The exterior of our box has Thule's nano skin.

Hi, Matt with the etrailer. If you have a 2021 GMC Acadia and you're looking for a roof box that's gonna be sleek, low profile and it's gonna be perfect to haul your longer items like skis, snowboards, or anything like that, then, you know, 850 roof box is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check it out. Now, if you have any experience with this box, please let us know how you like it in either a comment or review below, telling us how that journey's looking like for you. But today I'm gonna be really just talking about how it's gonna interact with the Arcadia and what really stands out to me is that, again, it's gonna be more low profile as sleeker design and it's gonna have a lot of the same benefits as those other premium boxes out there. You can open it up from either side, it is gonna be locking, but the big appeal to me is it's super easy to use throughout that entire process.

This is gonna be a box that goes onto your hitch receiver, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2019 GMC Acadia. So the GearDeck is great if you want to make sure that you have extra cargo space that is also covered. This has some unique features like it slides out to give you more clearance. You slide it back in when you're ready to drive, and that way you can open up the hatch. So not only do you have extra cargo space, but you also do not lose out on the cargo space of your own vehicle.

Hey everyone, Charles, here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier on our 2019 GMC Acadia. This is gonna be great for freeing up a lot of space in your vehicle for more gear, extra passengers, or pets. A couple reasons why I would prefer a hitch cargo carrier over a roof-mounted one is because it's gonna be a lot easier to load and unload those heavier, bulkier items. And it'll free up space for kayaks and/or fishing poles. From the bumper to the first point of shank rise right here, it's gonna be about five inches before we hit that rise. And the clearance before we open our hatch and make contact is gonna be about 13 inches from when we open it.

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the etrailer Aluminum Cargo Carrier on our 2019 GMC Acadia.This is going to be a really nice lightweight, easy to use cargo carrier.

Those steel ones are going to be about the same size when it comes to how wide they are, but trying to carry those up to the vehicle can be a little awkward.
