• What is the Benefits of Using the T-Slot Tracks Over the Clamps On Crossbars for Thule Cargo Box?
  Hello Joel, Since you’ve already ordered the T-track kit # TH27PQ, I think you’re going to be pretty happy with the change. The biggest win is that you won’t get those annoying pinch dents in your WingBar Evos, because the box mounts directly into the T-slot instead of squeezing around the bar. That also makes for a cleaner look and usually drops the cargo box just a little closer to the roof, which can slightly help with wind noise and aerodynamics. Another nice perk is that the attachment...

• How Does the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box Install, Does it Have Locks, Water Resistant?
  Hello Gene, Congrats on the 2025 4Runner! What is your favorite new feature? The Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH59PN would need to be installed on crossbars not you factory raised rails (please see attached image). If you do no have a roof rack system already, the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # TH52ZA would be an excellent fit for your 4Runner. I guess you could say it locks to the bars. What I mean by that is...

• Will the Thule Motion 3 Cargo Box Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2007 Lexus GX470
  The Thule Motion 3 cargo box # TH59PN will mount to the factory roof rack on your 2007 Lexus GX470. But with the box installed it will interfere with the rear hatch and you will not be able to open it all the way. The largest box that you can use and not have interference issues with is the smaller Motion cargo box, # TH629806. If the hatch interference does not bother you then you can still use the larger box.

• Which Cargo Box is More Aerodynamic? The Yakima CBX XXL or the Thule Motion 3?
  Hey Jonathon. Both the Yakima CBX XXL item # Y73QD and the Thule Motion 3 item # TH59PN are going to work with your 2025 Nissan Armada's factory crossbars. I recommend the Yakima CBX XXL Rooftop Cargo Box item # Y73QD. It's been specifically designed to match a large storage capacity with aerodynamics. The shorter wider profile and angles are designed to push air over and around the box. What cargo box did you used to have? You can add this information, along with any other questions...

• What is the Largest Cargo Box?
  No, there is not Johnny. The largest cargo box we carry is the Thule Motion 3 item # TH59PN, which has interior measurements of 86-1/2" long x 30" wide x 14-13/16" tall. We do not manufacture cargo boxes sorry. Just out of curiosity why are you trying to put a long board in a box?

• Will Yakima SkyBox NX XXL and Thule Motion 3 Roof Box Fit 2023 Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition Crossbars
  Hey Judah! The Yakima SkyBox NX XXL # Y43QD and Thule Motion 3 # TH87PN or # TH59PN will fit your 2023 Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition crossbars. However, you will need to make sure you have the correct crossbar spread (I'm sure you do but it is best to measure). The Yakima # Y43QD requires a 24" - 42" crossbar spread. Both of the Thule models require a 21-13/16" - 36-9/16" crossbar spread. If I were to choose one It would be the SkyBox NX XXL. I had a chance to use this on a trip to Myrtle...

  Hey Tyler, thanks for the picture! Yes, the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH59PN will definitely fit the factory crossbars on your 2020 Kia Telluride. It has exterior dimensions of 91-11/16" long x 36-3/16" wide x 17-1/2" tall and weighs 57.2 lbs. The weight added to the crossbars will push that bow down pretty quickly. There are indeed smaller versions that will work too like the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH6357B. Please note that you will want to have your...

  Hello Victor, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are on the right track, because the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RR98VE for the 2018 Ford Explorer will indeed work with the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box # TH59PN. The Rhino roof rack uses an aero crossbar, and the Thule box is made to be universal, so it will work with virtually any crossbar shape or brand.

• How to Tell if Thule Motion 3 XXL Will Fit OEM Roof Rack on a 2023 Acura MDX
  Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! The Thule Motion 3 # TH59PN requires 54-3/4" from the front crossbar to the line where the roof and hatch meet for your 2023 Acura MDX hatch to open up without interference. I'm not sure what your measurement is, but if it's at least 54-3/4" then you're good to go! If it's less than that, you'll need to use the Yakima CBX XXL # Y73QD instead. It has less clearance requirements and Yakima has confirmed it will fit with the OEM roof rack on your MDX. Both...

• Recommended Roof Rack Crossbars and Cargo Box for a 2024 Ford Expedition
  I sure can Kathy. To add a set of crossbars to the rails on your 2024 Ford expedition Limited, I recommend the Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack for Raised Rails item # TH32ZA in black or item # TH22ZA in silver. These flush crossbars will attach directly to the rails on your Expedition's roof with the included mounting legs. They're perfect for cargo boxes because they do not extend over the sides of the rails. They have a 165 lbs capacity. The largest Rooftop Cargo Box we carry is the Thule...

• Can Two Thule Motion Roof Boxes TH59PN Be Carried On A Ladder Rack On A 2026 Toyota Tacoma?
  Hi James! You may be able to carry two of the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft # TH59PN on the ladder rack on your 2026 Toyota Tacoma short bed, but it's going to depend greatly on the length of the crossbars, rather than the height. Something like the Thule Xsporter Pro Mid Overland Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 600 lbs # TH34RR with its 71" crossbars would definitely accommodate two Motion 3 boxes, but something like the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack Uprights...
