Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black Glossy
We love our Thule rooftop box. It's a great accessory to our Honda Pilot, and made our frequent skiing & camping trips a lot easier. Quality is superb. For its size, it's actually relatively easy to mount (takes two people to lift it up). Loading/unloading requires standing on the frame of the car and is also easier with two people.
So I just received my 22cuft Thule rooftop carrier and it arrived somewhat damage free. The edges of the box where the nose and rear of the carrier were packaged very well with extra material. The center of the box was smashed and had several holes. I know the holes are not e trailer fault but actually the shipping company that sends it across the country. There was a removable plastic film on the carrier that I think helped a lot and kept the unit from being scratched. One area on the back lifted and now I have a small area that I need to wax and buff because it was scratched from the box. Overall I knew the risk in shipping an 8 foot box and just took the gamble. Overall it turned out ok. I placed the carrier on my 22 kia telluride with factory bars. It fit perfect. The locking system worked and was secure to the bars on the roof. Both sides of this 22 cu ft carrier opened flawlessly and there is going to be plenty of room to place luggage inside. I’m glad I went with the 22 because I think I would have wanted a bigger one if I got the 18. My issues are not skis and tents but actual luggage when we all travel so the extra room is great. Have not traveled with it yet and if I have issues after the first trip I will edit this review. So far I am satisfied with this purchase, etrailer and this product.

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
The clamp screw is a bit too short. It's pretty light weight
First, I'd like to commend etrailer.com for the efficient, damage-free shipping mode they wisely selected. The carrier contacted me to complete the delivery, and the shipment tracking was very helpful. Second, the sturdy and well-designed Yakima Skybox was easy to install, out of the box to the ATV roof racks, with easy-to-understand instructions resulting in a perfect installation.

Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Carbonite
I replaced an old Thule box with this. My opinion is that the locking mechanism, the clamping system, and the hinges are superior to the Thule's. Especially the locking mechanism. I used to have to wrestle the Thule box to get things lined up so that I could close and lock the box. And the bonus is that this box was less money (than an equivalent Thule) and eTrailer shipped it for free!
Fit was perfect will be using it for a long time to come it heavy for one person to try and load it up on the vehicle though
