Note: Because of the size of this item, it ships via truck freight and only to the contiguous United States.
Cargo boxes, bags, and baskets are great for transporting gear on your vehicle's roof. A cargo box has the added benefits of an aerodynamic shape that reduces drag and wind noise, a hard shell to protect your gear, and a higher degree of weather resistance. And you can latch and lock a cargo box for added protection against theft.
The Motion XT XL has 18 cu ft of storage space for golf bags, luggage, skis, snowboards, and other gear. The aerodynamic, low-profile design helps to reduce drag and wind noise, and the locking lid conveniently opens from either side of your vehicle. The box has internal tie-down points for securing cargo, and the PowerClick mounting system offers easy, tool-free installation.
This cargo box is constructed of durable ABS plastic that is lightweight yet rigid and impact resistant. It has a glossy silver, gel-coat finish that is stylish and less susceptible to chips, scratches, and harsh UV rays when compared with paint.
The Motion XT XL features a dual-side-opening lid so you can load and access your gear from either side of your vehicle. Integrated, grip-friendly handles help you easily open and close the lid even with one hand. The lid has lifters that ensure it opens and closes smoothly. There is also a convenient pull cord on the inside that helps you close the lid.
The cargo box has SlideLock locks on each side of the lid. These locks have built-in indicators that let you know if the box is properly latched. The keys cannot be removed from the locks unless the lid is closed and locked. This prevents you from driving with an open or unlocked lid. The locks include Thule One-Key-System cores so you can swap them out to make all your Thule accessories keyed alike.
The box can be mounted on your vehicle in less than 5 minutes with the PowerClick mounting system. These clamps adjust along tracks in the floor of the box to accommodate different crossbar spreads.
To install the box, set it on your roof rack and center the clamps over your crossbars. Then simply turn the dials to tighten the clamps around the bars. The dials click when the clamps are secure.
The PowerClick assemblies on the inside of the box have fixed anchor points for securing your cargo. Just loop the included cargo straps through the anchor points and pull the straps tight to secure your gear.

Great product. I installed it on my 2018 Lincoln Navigator with no problem. Took about 15 minutes start to finish. Mounts directly to the factory OEM rack. I just used it to haul 5 pairs of skis, ski boots and two large luggage bags... it still had some room to spare! 594489

Has made traveling with 4 kids in a Subaru Ascent possible. It’s been camping, skiing and on other trips! Never an issue with water and it’s easy on/off the roof. 735419

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Fantastic product so here is my one year review. It opens from either side. You cannot leave it unlocked by mistake. The shape is pretty aero and I have not seen any effect on my highway fuel economy so I have chosen to just leave it on all the time. The attachment points are quick and fool proof so it is easy to put on or take off with no tools required. It is really large so it can hold a lot of stuff and really open up your regular storage space in the vehicle. I give this 5 stars in every way and would buy it again without hesitation. 728506
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Great for loading or unloading from both sides. Keeps cargo bone dry unless you open lid to load while raining. Holds all luggage for 5 people to free up interior of Outback for pets and people. Glad I made the purchase. Only knocked the fuel economy back by 2 miles per gallon. An acceptable tradeoff. 666951

Have rented boxes when I need them a few times, and they’re so handy to have on road trips. I decided to get one permanently, and this box has been great!! Had to rig up a place to store it, but that worked out fine. etrailer transaction was great. Shipping is easier than buying locally. Don’t hesitate - great product and great buying experience! 733121

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Great Product! It fits my Chevy Traverse like a glove. I wouldn't want anything bigger. It easily holds two large suitcases plus a couple of smaller duffel bags. Attaching it to the car crossbars takes only minutes and the locking latch to open it is amazing. It makes the car about 7'-4" tall. I forgot about it and drove through a 7'-0" parking garage and hit the ceiling. It flex enough that it didn't break but I still wouldn't advise trying it for yourself. 490062

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
TLDR; I'm an etrailer customer for life! Hands down best customer service of any company I've ever worked with. The Thule Motion XT is exactly as described. I have a 2017 Subaru Outback and it fits beautifully. At first I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to open the tailgate, but after a bit of playing around I discovered that the slots inside the carrier where you place the clamps are able to slide back and forth to allow you to move the carrier forward and back. This allowed plenty of clearance to open the tailgate. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. The only minor complain is that the top of the carrier seems a bit flimsy, but this seems to be standard with all carriers of this type. Once the lid is closed and locked in place everything feels nice and sturdy. And if I'm being honest, if the lid was more substantial it would probably increase the weight significantly. So far I give it a 10 out of 10! 844201
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
I bought this box since customer service said it was sure to fit on my 4runner with clearance for my hatch door to open, and it does. We got it just in time to cancel our Spring break road trip due to the pandemic, so we haven't used it yet. But it looks great. Delivery was easy and scheduled by the freight company. It was super easy to install. It comes with straps to tie down gear with but I'm not entirely sure how useful they'll be. Would be great for skiis if that's what you're hauling. I'll be putting mostly camping gear up there to leave room for the dog in the back. Looks more than spacious enough to do the job. Can't wait to try it out. It stays stored on top of the vehicle as I don't have room in the garage for it. 824350
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Some minor cosmetic issues with the cargo box upon arrival. There was a 6" scratch on top of the box. Not sure if this was a Thule issue or e-trailer issue as cargo box was shipped in original packaging. Called e-trailer customer service and they were extremely helpful and asked what I wanted to resolve issue. Since I needed product that weekend and it was only a cosmetic issue and asked for a credit and they had no issue agreeing to the credit and were very apologetic. Will definitely business with e-trailer in the future. Did not give 5 stars due to cosmetic issue. 820217
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
I haven't used the cargo carrier but it looks good and seems well built. Mine arrived damaged and etrailer promptly picked it up and shipped another one. That's the main reason for my premature review. Their customer service has been excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them. 815846
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Its big. Make sure it will fit in/out of your garage while attached to your car, if you are wanting to do so. It takes a bit of jiggling to get the latches to release to get it open. I suspect this has to do with the open from either side feature and the length of the box. 799125
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
I received an email and a phone call that the unit I had order was no longer available. At that time I was offered another unit which was a newer model. It arrived in a timely manner, in great condition, and was so easy to install. It looks great on top of my Subaru. I can stow most of my camping gear in it and have room for passengers. 762836
