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.
Overall, we are pleased with this carrier. My husband and son installed it easily on my 2017 Honda Pilot, and I could still use my sunroof. The only noise was when it was empty and we hit one big bump. 99.9% of the time, it was not possible to detect the carrier was there. It did not seem to effect gas mileage either. It did not get 5 stars for the combination of price and quality. For the cost, I might have expected it to be a little less flimsy feeling, and a little more precisely constructed. However, once in use, these minor issues disappeared. We use it for luggage holding clothing, and it held 2 large pieces with room to spare. Overall, we are satisfied. However, do not forget you need space to store it when not in use !

Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
Coming up on a year owning this great Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box. Installed it on a medium high-top Ford Transit to travel with a big family and not have all our gear stuffed inside with us. Haven't taken it off - no wind noise, no rattles, not fading after a year in the southeast US climate, and huge capacity - we lined up several carry-on sized suitcases in there without a problem. Very satisfied!
Installed on a 2016 Lexus GX 460 on stock rail and crossbar system. It fit. Antennae is a bit close to box but there is a gap and clearance. On stock ride height the max height at top of box is nearly 8ft.

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 Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black Glossy
We love our Thule rooftop box. It's a great accessory to our Honda Pilot, and made our frequent skiing & camping trips a lot easier. Quality is superb. For its size, it's actually relatively easy to mount (takes two people to lift it up). Loading/unloading requires standing on the frame of the car and is also easier with two people.
So I just received my 22cuft Thule rooftop carrier and it arrived somewhat damage free. The edges of the box where the nose and rear of the carrier were packaged very well with extra material. The center of the box was smashed and had several holes. I know the holes are not e trailer fault but actually the shipping company that sends it across the country. There was a removable plastic film on the carrier that I think helped a lot and kept the unit from being scratched. One area on the back lifted and now I have a small area that I need to wax and buff because it was scratched from the box. Overall I knew the risk in shipping an 8 foot box and just took the gamble. Overall it turned out ok. I placed the carrier on my 22 kia telluride with factory bars. It fit perfect. The locking system worked and was secure to the bars on the roof. Both sides of this 22 cu ft carrier opened flawlessly and there is going to be plenty of room to place luggage inside. I’m glad I went with the 22 because I think I would have wanted a bigger one if I got the 18. My issues are not skis and tents but actual luggage when we all travel so the extra room is great. Have not traveled with it yet and if I have issues after the first trip I will edit this review. So far I am satisfied with this purchase, etrailer and this product.

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
The clamp screw is a bit too short. It's pretty light weight
First, I'd like to commend etrailer.com for the efficient, damage-free shipping mode they wisely selected. The carrier contacted me to complete the delivery, and the shipment tracking was very helpful. Second, the sturdy and well-designed Yakima Skybox was easy to install, out of the box to the ATV roof racks, with easy-to-understand instructions resulting in a perfect installation.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy
Fits great on a 2022 MDX. Great to pair with the Thule ceiling mount. Easy enough for kid to lower!
Perfect for road trips. Somewhat easy install with platform stand.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
I was hesitant to spend this much money on a cargo box that won't get used but a couple of times per year but I'm glad I did!! The quality of this box is excellent and it is really, really easy to mount. It is a bit awkward to carry for one person but with the help of another person it's very easy to carry and put on top of the car. The gloss black looks really nice and sleek. The 16 cubic foot capacity really opens up space inside our car and will make longer road trips much more manageable and comfortable. Being able to load the box from either side is a game changer! I also really like how it locks and how it has a notification if all latches are not engaged. As of writing this review, I have not actually tested it loaded or at highway speeds but I'm very confident it will perform as expected. Now I have to figure out how to store it!!
Came broken and obviously used already. Just like everything else in my order. Top was scraped up and cling wrap removed. Which I could have lived with. The front right hung was completely snapped off. Which for safety reasons is a big deal. So disappointed with etrailers quality for this order.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Titan Glossy
Extremely easy to mount. Very durable. Being able to open the cargo box from either side is a game changer. Superb quality.
Bought this a year ago and have been very happy with it. Using on a QX80/Armada. Opens on either side - which is nice when securing to roof rails as it is easier to just go to other side than reach across when tightening to roof rails. Easy to secure. Recommend two people to lift on/off vehicle but otherwise can do everything myself. Has lock on both sides. We can fit 4-6 carry on suitcases plus 2-4 other bags/items. It’s “taller” than it appears, but I don’t hear extra road noise and haven’t noted any significant change in fuel efficiency. Have used 4-5 times for trips from Ohio to Florida, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. In fact, drove 12 hours with it full yesterday.

Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Great customer service and great product. Thank you !
This roof box is very sleek in design and I love how low it sits. Everything is wonderful with it; it can fit all my camping gear despite being a slimmer model. I gave it four stars because one of the powerclick clamps that it came with fell apart only after 3 uses and now i’m going to have to drop another $70+ for a replacement. Other than that, I would recommend this item.

This is a big vehicle with a lot of cargo space, but sometimes even that is not enough or maybe you need to carry around some things that you don't want on the interior of your vehicle, like your skis and your snowboards. That's where the Thule Motion XT comes in handy.

Yakima GrandTour 18 Cubic Ft Premium Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2011 GMC Yukon
Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Yakima GrandTour 18 cubic feet rooftop cargo box. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2011 GMC Yukon. Your Yukon is a big vehicle with a lot of cargo space. But depending on your different adventures, if you have this loaded up with friends, with family, and you're also carrying around cargo that might not fit in the leftover cargo space, you might need more cargo space, or you're carrying around things like skis and snowboards that need a longer box for it to fit in, then a rooftop cargo box like the GrandTour can come in handy. This is gonna be a longer, more low-profile, sleek box, ideal for that longer cargo, and we'll talk about how it fits this car. This is going to be a 91-inch long box which is definitely on the longer side for rooftop boxes.
Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2011 GMC Yukon
Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at how the Yakima Sky Box NX18 roof cargo box fits on our 2011 GMC Yukon. The NX18 is a good pairing for the Yukon because it's a big box for a big car. So this is very versatile where you have a lot of height for larger bags and suitcases. We also have a lot of length for your longer skis. With this being the 18, it's a larger box in the Sky Box NX series and it's a good fit for the Yukon as well with the length because I didn't have to do anything special but we still have clearance with the back hatch and a lot of space up front.
