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.

This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!

The 16 cu ft cargo box fits perfectly on the 2018 Toyota Rav4. Literally takes about 5 minutes, 10min at the most, to set up on the rooftop, and was able to do it without the help of a second person. The box itself weighs very little.

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!

Fits great on a 2022 MDX. Great to pair with the Thule ceiling mount. Easy enough for kid to lower!

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.

Pretty good. The locking mech is a little funky but it swallows the beach chairs and other sandy stuff no problem. Make sure you watch the videos Yakima has on YouTube. They are very helpful for first timers. I found that if you use the Yakima website to get the part list right you can order wherever you want. Yup can even pull into the garage. My only gripe is that etrailer showed all parts in stock but several pieces were actually back ordered. Luckily everything arrived in time for my trip.

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.

Yakima GrandTour 18 Cubic Ft Premium Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2022 Mazda CX-9
Hey everyone, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Grand Tour 18 on our 2022 Mazda CX9. Now this is a perfect rooftop cargo box for if you wanna carry around some of those longer items maybe like skis and snowboards, or if you have the whole entire family loaded up in the CX9 and you need some additional storage space for some of that luggage, this is going to be a great option for that too. Our box is going to be made out of an ABS plastic which just means it is a little more durable as you can imagine, driving through all the elements maybe finding it in rain or hail or rocks sticking up from the highway hitting, it just means it's going to stay durable and rugged throughout all that. That being said, it does have a glossy black finish to it and glossy black finishes just really have a prone to smudges and scratches. So while the material itself is pretty durable, it might not keep that clean nice look forever.
Mazda CX-9 Cargo Carriers Questions
- The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black # SR7018 measures 38 inches at its widest point, measures 36 inches on inside width, and the mounting holes are 28-1/2 inches on center side to side according to my tech contact at the manufacturer.
It fits crossbar spreads front to back of: 23-5/8", 25-7/8", 27-7/8", and 29-7/8" measuring center on center from the front crossbar to the rear crossbar.
view full answer... - To determine whether or not the Thule Force XT # TH6359B will fit on the crossbars of your 2017 Mazda CX-9 you will need to make sure that you have a crossbar spread of 23-5/8 - 35-1/2 inches.
As long as there is at least 54-3/4 inches between the front crossbar and the line where the roof and your hatch meet then the Force XT will not interfere with your rear hatch.
The Force XT has a 165 lb weight capacity but you will want to make sure that you do not exceed the weight...
view full answer... - The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B does fit your 2017 Mazda CX-9 with a factory roof rack and would fit above the shark fin antenna. I found videos and picutures online that I can't share here due to copyrights that showed this box fitting above the antenna.
view full answer... - Yes, I checked with Yakima and the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box part # Y95AV is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Mazda CX-9. In regard to hatch clearance, you will need to measure from the center of the front crossbar to the closest part of the hatch while open. The Yakima SkyBox NX 16 will require at least 47". I have attached a photo showing you how to measure this but the new SkyBox NX 16 is not listed on it, remember this one is 47 inches needed. I have attached a video...
view full answer... - All of the Thule roof cargo boxes will fit the factory roof rack on your 2017 Mazda CX-9. If you are concerned about rear hatch clearance then there is a measurement you can take on the vehicle to determine which boxes will fit without hatch interference.
First, if the crossbars on your roof rack can be moved, slide the front bar as far forward as it will go. Then with the rear hatch open measure from the center of the front bar straight back to the nearest part of the open...
view full answer... - I checked with Yakima and the Skybox NX 16, part # Y95AV will fit both the 2015 Mazda CX-9 and the 2017 Mazda CX-5. You will need to adjust the position of the mounting brackets on the Skybox NX 16's bottom tracks to ensure a good fit and that the rear hatch or trunk will operate correctly.
view full answer... - The crossbar spread of all fixed mounting points on the 2014 Mazda CX-9 is about a half inch too wide for the Skybox 21, part # Y07337, at its widest settings, rendering the box unable to mount to the bars. In order to mount the SkyBox you need a roof rack that doesn't use the fixed mounting points like the Rhino-Rack system. You need:
49 inch Vortex bars # RRVA126B-2
Legs # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit # DK220
This is a clamp on kit that will not use the fixed mounting points on...
view full answer... - Yes, the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black, part # TRX44FR, will fit your aftermarket or factory roof rack with no problem. The only caveat is the bar spread has to be 22" to 30". That is not a problem with most roof racks. It does only offer 9 cu ft of space.
I have included a video review link below.
view full answer... - I checked with Yakima and the SkyBox 18 # Y07336 will fit the factory roof rack crossbars on your 2014 Mazda CX-9. I have included a link to a video showing the features of the SkyBox series of cargo boxes.
view full answer... - I spoke with my contact over at Yakima/Whispbar and because the bar spread on the roof rack you are using on your 2012 Mazda CX-9 is 42 inches, none of the boxes will fit. I checked all the boxes we carry and none will fit a bar spread of 42 inches on the Whispbar crossbars.
But what you can do is install the Yakima MegaWarrior basket, # Y07080, and then put a cargo bag such as # RL100S30 in the basket. the bag offers 18 cubic feet of storage so it is a large bag. A benefit...
view full answer... - Yes, I checked with Yakima and the SkyBox NX 16 # Y95AV is confirmed to fit on the factory crossbars of your 2010 Mazda CX-9.
I attached a link to the installation instructions for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Based on my research, it does look like you are correct that the minimum crossbar spread on your 2010 Mazda CX-9 using the fixed mounting points will be around 42 inches. We only have a few cargo boxes available that are compatible with this large of a spread.
The most economical box we have that will work with up to a 42 inch crossbar spread is the Yakima SkyBox 12 # Y07334. This cargo box provides 12 cubic feet of space and a dual-side-opening lid that allows you to load/unload...
view full answer... - There are some great options for Yakima SkyBox cargo boxes, but not all of them will fit your 2008 Mazda CX-9. For example, the Yakima SkyBox Lo Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07338 will fit your vehicle because it has a crossbar spread of 24" - 42", whereas the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box # Y95AV will not because it has a crossbar spread of only 24" - 36". The crossbar spread is listed on each product page, but here's a list of the SkyBox models available for your 42" crossbar spread:
-...
view full answer... - I spoke with my contact at SportRack and she stated that the SkyLine XL cargo box SR7095, will not fit a spread of 44 inches on your 2007 Mazda CX-9. However, there are other boxes that are listed as a fit to the factory crossbars on your CX-9.
I recommend the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192. Yakima lists this box as a direct fit to your vehicle. It is closest in cost and size as the Explorer box. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

What our customers are saying:
"The hitch and the carrier came in much earlier than expected. The cargo carrier assembled in a few minutes. The hitch went on like a glove. I was very satisfied with it's quality. My salesperson was very helpful and made sure that I had the right things. Overall, I was very pleased."
