Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Titan Glossy
This rooftop cargo box was perfect for my needs. While large, I had no problem getting it on the roof of my MDX. It was easy to adjust to fit my crossbar spacing, and felt very secure. I was able to fit a lot in the box, freeing up needed room in the cabin. The design of the box resulted in negligible wind noise and change in mpg. Very happy with the purchase.
The Thule was delivered without any problems in May 2022 with no damage, so I’m very happy about that. The large 16 cubic ft rooftop carrier is quite big, but it doesn’t seem to make any noticeable wind noise. I’ve only had it up to 60mh so far on my Honda Civic, but it seems fairly aerodynamic. Not sure how much it will affect the miles per gallon yet. It seems like a very lightweight rig, hopefully it holds up well, but only time will tell. I purchased the gray color hoping it wouldn’t get as hot in the sun as the all black model. Probably wouldn’t have bought it but it’s too costly to drive my truck on long trips due to bidenflation. This should save me some gas money and give our family a little more room to haul stuff in the car. It was very easy to clamp onto the Thule bars I already had, and just as easy to take off. etrailer did a great job, 5stars!

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Titan Glossy
This roof box has worked perfectly for us. We bought it for a two week driving/camping trip out west. It is very expensive but it seems well made. It fits our 2008 Land Cruiser perfectly. I also measured it to fit our 2018 Volvo XC90 as well. We filled it will all our camping supplies: family size tent, 4 sleeping bags, 4 sleeping pads, plus some odds and ends. The one time we hit rain it did not appear to leak. We definitely do see a drop in MPG’s during interstate driving. There is a little more wind noise with it installed but its not too bad and we didn’t really notice it after the first day. We did go off road with it, including around the White Rim trail. This wasn’t too extreme, but it was around 100 miles of very rough trail. The box was solid during it all.
Unfortunately too much dust get inside the unit probably thru the clamp openings. It need to be addressed asap.
