So there are really only a pair of differences at base between the Thule Motion XT and Thule Force XT rooftop cargo boxes. One is the aesthetic, with the Force XT having a textured, flat black finish, while the Motion XT has a high-gloss black…

Hey Alex, this is a great question but Thule is accurate. The height above the crossbars on the Thule Motion 3 XL part #TH37PN is 12 inches. I am not sure why we had the wrong info listed there but I sent an update to have it fixed. How much…

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…

In order to mount the Thule Motion XT XL #TH629806 on the factory flush rails of your 2017 Lexus GX 460, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" #Y00421. One of the great features of the CoreBars is that it combines the…

Hey Rhett, thanks for reaching out! Looks like we missed the mark with the video of the Draw-Tite Hitch #DT94YR on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon. The instructions do call for using a rivet gun and included rivets to reinstall the fascia so that's…

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…

The Motion 3 #TH67PN and the XT are virtually identical. The only real difference is the appearance of the top shell on the Motion 3 which also makes it more aerodynamic. Both of these have the same carrying capacity. Personally I would choose…

Great question, Jerry! The Benton ShellRaiser Rooftop Cargo Box #B44FR does not come fully assembled, but the assembly itself is pretty straightforward. I've done this myself and the only part I really got hung up on was connecting the struts to…

I do have a couple of options for the 2019 Mini Countryman with sunroof. The Rola that you were looking at only fits the 2007 to 2010 BMW X5. Both options I recommend below do fit with a sun roof but it is recommended to keep the sunroof closed when…

The Inno Wedge #INBRA1210BK does have a bit of that same recessed designed at the front and rear of the box (see attached picture for a clearer view of this), but you're still looking at about 13-3/8" of height above the crossbars when…

Hey Adrian, you are on the right track for a hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. I would recommend the Curt part #C13410 as it has plenty of towing capacity, is mostly hidden, and the advantage it has over the Draw Tite is that we just have…

Hello Gene, Congrats on the 2025 4Runner! What is your favorite new feature? The Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Glossy #TH59PN would need to be installed on crossbars not you factory raised rails (please see attached image). If…
