Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box - 15 Cubic Ft - Glossy Black
Great product and delivered intact. Looking forward to piling Skiis in it. Weirdly, even though the box is what I ordered, Grand Tour Lo Alpine, with storage to 215 cm Skiis, the label on the box was Grand Tour 16, 185cm and 18” tall. Thank goodness it was mislabeled and I got the correct box.
Looks wise one of the best boxes you can buy. I love that you can open it from both sides works great for everything I use it for. The only problem I have with it is how flimsy it is. If it had some more structural integrity it would be perfect. It wobbles all around at highway speeds. If the bottom tray was stronger it would be perfect.

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.
