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 for carrying skis, snowboards, and other gear on crossovers and mid-size wagons. Durable ABS plastic construction.Buying experience with etrailer.com was easy and fast. Ordered it and received within a week as promised. This was the only retailer that had the Thule Motion XT XL Titanium in stock. I liked that I could track the status of my order even through the shipping coming down to an estimated ETA. As for the box, it looks great on our Wilderness Green 2016 3.6R Outback. The Outback has silver trim along the windows and other areas so it looks nice and we thought the lighter colored box would not absorb as much heat during travel. Fits perfectly and we have about a cm that cleared our garage opening (I think our opening was the standard 81-83 inches). My husband and 12 year old son installed it. My son gave it a 4 for install because the clamps didn't catch just right so it took a few tries to clamp it down. Durability was a 5. He said they scraped it against a few things moving it from garage to the car and then into the basement to store it and didn't scratch up the finish too bad. They took it for a drive with an empty box. My husband said there was a bit of noise but nothing terrible. Another forum said the noise could be due to holes in the design of the original factory installed roof rack. We will find the holes and plug them up to see if that fixes it. My husband said he will feel better if he uses additional straps to tie it down to the roof rack as another precaution to ensure the box doesn't fly off. I forgot to take a picture, but trust me, the Titanium looks good and the XL fits! We considered the Yakima 16 cubic feet Skybox, but for the styling, extra 2 cubic ft with same length box, and the fact we will take this off and on quite a bit for weekend getaways, we thought it was worth the extra money. 902879
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 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

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 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
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
My overall rating is just a fraction less than a full 5 stars. Everything to do with etrailer was exceptional! Website and ordering were easy. My color wasn't immediately available and other options were suggested for quicker lead time. The order was filled and shipped promptly. Shipping was a bit lethargic but it was Christmas time. Freight was good about contacting me before delivery. Shipping box was a bit damaged. Only real complaint was unit showed up with minor cosmetic blemishes. Not full scratches but spots where it had rubbed during shipping. Unit installed just as described, extremely easy. Now a week into using... Looks great and lots of extra storage area for ??, tire chains, emergency kit, extra blanket, etc... Wifey says she can feel it while driving on the highway. Also, opening and loading is a bit tricky for her, she's 5' 5" 939362

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
This box is huge! That's what I needed as I plan to travel with my Fat Bike inside it. While not designed for transporting bikes it still works. I remove my pedals and front wheel to get everything inside. It stays dry and out of sight. 934681
Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
We recently used our Thule Motion XT for a trip around the country of around 5000 miles. We used it to haul two snowboards (longest 160 cm) and one set of skis and ski poles, along with all the other gear associated (bindings, boots, etc.). The car topper worked great and has more room that I would have imagined. It is easy to use, the dual side openings have been very helpful, and it is extremely sturdy and stable on top of our Rav4. It did affect the gas mileage somewhat (about 3 - 5 mpg; 35 down to 32), but it is difficult to say how much of that was due to the topper and how much was due to the added load and weight. Even on very windy days, the streamlined topper was no issue. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It is a bit on the pricey end, but it has been well worth it for us. 933888

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Outstanding Customer Service. Ordered the day before Thanksgiving at 7pm EST and Alex answered on the second ring. He answered all my questions, completed my order and had this delivered the following Monday when everyone else in this pandemic says the Thule carriers are unavailable or 2 months out. My only mistake was not ordering the garage storage through etrailer so now I have to wait an additional week for delivery from another site. So for now I have my Thule under the Christmas Tree. 918028

Review from a similar Motion XT in Roof Box
Great response time to my order. Installed easily. Looks great! My only concern was there was NO protective space from the top of the cargo box and the carton box. Perhaps a notice to "Don't cut across the carton" would have been helpful. 910340
