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.

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.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
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.
Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.
Mount: Yakima GrandTour Premium Rooftop Cargo Box on a 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.
What our customers are saying:
"We got the cargo bag and used it on the DrawTite cargo rack with no rails and took the whole load up and over the Smokey Mountains! What a fabulous product!"
