Hey Jonathon. Both the Yakima CBX XXL item #Y73QD and the Thule Motion 3 item #TH59PN are going to work with your 2025 Nissan Armada's factory crossbars. I recommend the Yakima CBX XXL Rooftop Cargo Box item #Y73QD. It's been specifically…
You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) #Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar…

Thank you for the information! It sounds like your 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro has the raised rails and OEM crossbar setup that we'd find on the standard 2020 Toyota 4Runner. This has very low clearance under the factory crossbars so it's…

Hello Joel, Since you’ve already ordered the T-track kit #TH27PQ, I think you’re going to be pretty happy with the change. The biggest win is that you won’t get those annoying pinch dents in your WingBar Evos, because the box mounts directly into the…

Hey Howon, thanks for the information. I checked with Thule and the Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge item #TH93VA is the correct one. It is sold individually and can be used to replace either the front or rear hinge on your Thule Motion XT XXL cargo box…
Hey John, the Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box #Y45AV that you referenced is compatible with round bars and aero shaped bars. The mounting hardware can clamp on to either bar shape and work really well. I attached a picture down below that shows…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Roof Box with extra large capacity and long length
Pack bulky luggage and longer gear with an extra large capacity roof box in a long length. Expect quick, straightforward mounting and manageable weight, while keeping an eye on crossbar size and spread to ensure a good fit. On taller vehicles a step stool helps with loading, and positioning can improve hatch or fin clearance; plan for some added wind noise and a bit less mpg.
Mount the box slightly to one side to reach it more easily if it only opens on one side. Use a step or small ladder to load and to move cargo so the latches can fully engage. If it feels tough to close, rearrange items until the lid latches click in; many boxes will not lock unless everything is fully latched.
Start by mocking up the box position on your crossbars and open the hatch to confirm it doesn't interfere. Check the communication fin area to be sure the nose or mounting hardware won't hit it. If space is tight, shift the box forward or back on the bars until the hatch clears and the fin is unobstructed.
Expect some reduced gas mileage and added road noise. Position the box straight and centered to help minimize wind effects. Make a habit of walk-around checks at stops to confirm the mounting clamps remain secure.
Through-bars give you more crossbar space to use, which helps with positioning a long box. Flush-bar styles look sleeker and can be a little quieter. Pick the style that gives you the clearance and reach you need while still letting your hatch open freely.
Often yes, but verify the bar size against the box's clamp range. If the bars are too big for the standard clamps, use a T-slot mounting kit to swap from clamps to a track-style mount. Confirm your crossbars have a compatible T-slot and that the adapter hardware lines up with the box's mounting points.
