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…
Hello Mark, thanks for reaching out. Both the hitches you mentioned, the Draw-Tite #DT73RR and the Blue Ox #BLU92UR are a confirmed fit for the 2024 Subaru Outback. Both hitches also use the same size spacer and may require enlargement of the access…
Good question Matt, you've definitely done your homework! Yes, your understanding is correct. The Replacement Fast Grip Clamp #TH94JV is the same mounting clamp used on the Thule Pulse Large cargo box #TH615. The FastGrip clamps are designed to…
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…
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…
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…
Hey Scott, welcome back! Tthe Thule Motion 3 cargo box part #TH59PN is a really great larger roof cargo box that will work great on your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon. This has 21 cubic feet of storage space which is a bit on the larger side but if…
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…
For your 2022 Mazda CX-5 I recommend the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black AeroSkin item #TH6356B. The Thule Force Cargo Box will fit onto crossbars with a maximum width of 3-1/2 inches and height of 1-11/16 inches. The…
The Malone Universal Crossbar System #MPG201 is a more economical choice but it still does a good job. The design and quality of Thule's system is why they have such a large difference in price. Whether you go with the Thule Crossroads system…
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…
Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out. I can definitely recommend some parts, but we will be cutting it very close on the clearance between your roof and the garage. The roof rack itself will clear fine, but the ski carrier is the part that will be…
Roof Box with Passenger Side Access for easier reach
Load and unload from the passenger side for simpler access, especially on taller vehicles. Mounting to the right side works well when the box opens on one side and can help with hatch and antenna clearance when positioned correctly. Check your crossbar spread and rear fin clearance to confirm compatibility.
Close and lock only after the latches fully engage; if it feels tough to close, move items until it latches smoothly. Lightweight shells can feel flexible when empty but firm up once clamped at all mounting points. Use tie-downs inside to keep gear from shifting, and a step can make curbside loading easier.
Measure from your front crossbar back to the hatch and any roof fin to be sure the lid can open without contact. If the fin sits high and close to the rear bar, clearance can be tight, so test-fit the position before loading. Slide the box forward within the rack's allowed range to gain room, and verify the hatch opens fully.
Passenger-side access keeps you at the curb and out of traffic. On taller vehicles, offsetting the box toward the right side makes it easier to reach compared to a center mount. A small step or stool helps when loading and unloading, especially if the roof is high.
Yes, as long as your crossbar spread matches the box's required range. Passenger-side boxes mount on OEM crossbars, aero bars, and platform-style racks when the fit specs line up. If your bars are fixed, compare their center-to-center spacing with the box's fit guide before purchasing.
