Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black
This was a great experience from start to finish. etrailer: After placing the order, I called regarding shipping and quickly got the answer to my question. The box shipped by ground freight, and arrived almost a week before the original scheduled delivery date. The Rhino arrived perfect with protective wrap, and all the required parts. Rhino Rack: This thing is awesome. Unless you jump up into the $1000+ price point, your rooftop carrier options are limited. My two requirements were to fit my skis (181 & 183 cm) and to allow my tailgate to open fully. The Rhino delivered! Bonus that both baby strollers fit as well (Instep baby trailer and Vista Uppababy). Only a week in, but so far the Rhino box and MasterFit clamps seem solid. The ratchet/locking mechanism on the clamps is just ok, you don't have to twist too hard to over power the lock or feel like you are stripping something internally. The hinges are beefy, but don't take up a ton of storage space. It opens from both sides, and you can't remove the key unless it's locked, which is nice for those of us that don't enjoy picking up our stuff on the highway. Also, if you're like me and spent way too much time on mr-box.com, you'll be pleased to know that this thing doesn't look lame. It's pretty sleek, somewhat low profile, with a touch of Euro. It's not too wide, even on the narrow rails of the A4 Allroad there's extra bar space. I could probably squeeze an upright kayak rack, small ski pinchers, or for the ten of us in the world that own RoadShowers...the RoadShower 4 fits no problem. I definitely recommend a Rhino from etrailer.
Application = 2021 Subaru WRX Base. Perfectly functional, and a great look.

Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!
This was a much needed addition for a drive back to Tucson, AZ from a three month stay in Portland. ME, as we had acquired some extra things and needed more space than our 2015 Honda CRV provided. This fit on top of the rhino vortex aero roof rack I also purchased from e-trailer perfectly. The cargo box functioned as expected, and although we ultimately could have used a slightly larger cargo box, this one worked great for giving us extra space in our car for the drive home. It was easy to mount and opened easily, although it was a bit tricky to load, a step ladder would have helped. It was tough to close, we had to move some stuff around to get it to latch, but I appreciated that it would not lock unless the latches could fully engage, which made me feel like it was going to remain closed while traveling. We wasted no time putting stickers on it, and added more along the drive home, which was fun. We traveled through many different types of weather, it was late spring and was rainy in the beginning of our trip, and very hot towards the end of our trip, and the contents were in perfect condition when we arrived home. There was zero water damage inside, and nothing was damaged from being in the heat. Of course there was some reduced gas mileage and added road noise when traveling, but nothing too unbearable. Also, service and shipping from etrailer was excellent.

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
Our SportRack cargo box has worked as hoped / advertised since we bought it over a year ago. What initially attracted me to this particular product was the size and design - it holds A LOT, and the way it opens from the back has helped protect our stuff from getting wet and damaged.
The sportrack vista xl is great! This was our first attempt at a roof mounted cargo box and it has preformed exceprionally well! I purchased this as a gift for my wife, to go on her Subaru Crosstrek. We live in western NC, and have used this to go to the outer banks of NC, eastern Tennessee, and even to bring home supplies from Sam's Club! It's super easy and quick to install, even for one person, and we've been fortunate enough to not have a single leak yet; even though we've been through heavy downpours! And there's plenty of room! If you're in the market for a rooftop cargo box this is the way to go.

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
The box is great, kept everything dry. No noise or rattle. Dont skimp out on a good set of rack bars. Easy install. Made it 3000 miles up the AlCan highway.
We love our new Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Boxes and can’t wait for our next trip. Opens from both sides, well designed! Recommend you attach the straps before putting it on top of vehicle.

Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Great customer service and great product. Thank you !
This roof box is very sleek in design and I love how low it sits. Everything is wonderful with it; it can fit all my camping gear despite being a slimmer model. I gave it four stars because one of the powerclick clamps that it came with fell apart only after 3 uses and now i’m going to have to drop another $70+ for a replacement. Other than that, I would recommend this item.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Titan Glossy
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!

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black
Customer service goes a long way in my book and how an item is presented on its website I've boughten stuff from etrailer before for my prior truck and always had an amazing experience with Etrailer.this is my first cargo box for my new to me Subaru Impreza sport hatchback and doing research on buying one wasn't easy but etrailer made the process quick and painless with exactly what I needed and dimensions were spot on and instructions were perfect couldn't be any more happier with my purchase.the trunx's brand box perfectly compliments my car and looks awesome on it thanks again etrailer you guys rock
Although I just received the Trunx Carrier, and it has been raining almost continuously here, I am impressed with the quality of the product. I still have to drill four new holes to mount the carrier, but you provide on your web site a great video specific to that job. I hope to get it mounted this weekend, and see how long my wife (who does all the driving) allows me to keep it on the van. We won't really use it until mid-April. That etrailer.com made it easy to find a carrier, and videos for our Chrysler 2014 Town and Country Van, gave us a secure feeling about the purchase. I just wish they were located a bit closer to Southern CA. Hope to add photos once it stops raining, and I am able to install the carrier.

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!
We have not yet taken the Skybox on a road trip so I can't talk about the box itself. But I can talk about the buying experience at etrailer. 5 stars!. There was a wealth of helpful information about the various choices for cargo carriers, including dimensions and clearance requirements, and I found the installation videos extremely valuable. Great personalized follow-up after the order was placed and after arrival. The Skybox arrived on time, well packed and in great shape.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.
Pretty good. The locking mech is a little funky but it swallows the beach chairs and other sandy stuff no problem. Make sure you watch the videos Yakima has on YouTube. They are very helpful for first timers. I found that if you use the Yakima website to get the part list right you can order wherever you want. Yup can even pull into the garage. My only gripe is that etrailer showed all parts in stock but several pieces were actually back ordered. Luckily everything arrived in time for my trip.

Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black
Beautiful cargo box , I love the shiny finish
So I really needed something that was both small but still had lots of room to fit on top of my ND Rf Miata and this was the perfect size. So the method to attach it is quick and pretty easy and I'm able to do it myself without really needing a second pair of hands which is convenient.

Rhino-Rack MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 15-1/2 cu ft - Textured Black
Looks great, works perfectly. Always good service and prices from etrailer! Been a customer for over 20 years.
Easy on and off. Locks easily. Key remains in key hole when unlocked. Looks great and not too big so it's easy to handle.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
I was hesitant to spend this much money on a cargo box that won't get used but a couple of times per year but I'm glad I did!! The quality of this box is excellent and it is really, really easy to mount. It is a bit awkward to carry for one person but with the help of another person it's very easy to carry and put on top of the car. The gloss black looks really nice and sleek. The 16 cubic foot capacity really opens up space inside our car and will make longer road trips much more manageable and comfortable. Being able to load the box from either side is a game changer! I also really like how it locks and how it has a notification if all latches are not engaged. As of writing this review, I have not actually tested it loaded or at highway speeds but I'm very confident it will perform as expected. Now I have to figure out how to store it!!

Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box - U-Bolt Mounts - 8 Cubic Feet
I have been really happy with this roof box, I was concerned at first because it did not feel as heavy or sturdy as some I've had in the past but it's performed really well and the shape is great. Because of the shape it holds things like carry on luggage on their side, backpacks and lots of gear. A year in, still loving this purchase.
Worked great on my 2022 Prius. Had to drill holes to make clamps fit the factory roof rack.

Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
I’m ultra-pleased with my Malone Profile18b cargo box! I scoured the internet researching these things. I think I looked at every large capacity model around 18 cu ft for my Nissan Armada. There’s lots of good ones out there to choose from. I almost bought a Thule Motion XT, but I decided to go with this Malone cargo box because it had the specs I was looking for at a much better price (18 cu ft for under $xx.xx!). After examining it closely, it seems to be fantastic quality, fit and finish it great, and functions perfectly. It opens and locks from both sides—and new for this year, it has an awesome new 1-click dial attach system that installs and removes easily and holds strong. Also, It’s one of the BEST LOOKING rooftop cargo boxes out there. The Italian shape and glossy black finish looks very high-end. For the money, you can’t beat this box. If you’re considering a rooftop cargo box, don’t hesitate on getting this Malone.
Reviewing this after 18 months or so because in that time I have NEVER seen another one of these on the road, despite living in the roof box capital of the world (Denver) and I think it looks better than the majority of boxes I see, save the newer Thules. The price has gone up since I purchased, but I still think it's good value. Great roof box option at a fraction of the price of Thule/Yakima, plus it looks sleek and the shiny finish looks great. I frequently use this for cargo storage / skis and snowboards across 3 different vehicles and bars (Jeep Renegade on Yakima Aerobars, VW Golf on OEM square bars, Subaru Forester on OEM bars) and it's great. Easy to take on and off and always feels secure. I've fit ski's up to 190cm in it carefully at an angle - my buddy's 196cm skis wouldn't fit without bending. I will say that, as with probably any other roof box, you need to be careful of the locks fully engaging and not being blocked. I've had issues getting the box re-opened once locked if something inside is pushed up against one of the 3 lock points.

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.
Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2014 Toyota Prius v
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at how the Yakima SkyBox NX 18 roof cargo box fits on our 2014 Toyota Prius V. So if you're going on big adventures and you have a lot of cargo, you need a big box. So if you're familiar with the Yakima Sky Box design it's very versatile where you have a good amount of height for your larger cargo as well as a good amount of width or length. Now this is going to be the SkyBox NX18, so it's the larger sky box and it's new and improved, so the upgraded version and the main thing with the Toyota Prius V with me putting this box on here is I'm really surprised it fits so well. We have this large box, we have all that cargo space but I do not compromise with opening up the hatch. So we have hatch clearance and full visibility in the front.
Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2014 Toyota Prius v
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we'll be taking a look at how the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Box fits on our 2014 Toyota Prius v. Yes, your Prius v has a lot of cargo space with it already, but maybe you need a little bit more, or your inside is already filled with all of your friends and your family, so that's where a rooftop cargo box like the NX 16 can come in handy. I'm already a huge fan of the versatility of the SkyBox, this takes that versatility and adds some ease of use features to make it easier to put onto the roof as well as to load cargo in it. So this has 16 cubic feet of space, so it's on a larger end when it comes to roof boxes. Now, does it fit our Prius v Yes, it obviously does. The one big thing that I am always thinking about when it comes to boxes on the Prius v is the hatch clearance.
