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…
Pack more and keep the cabin clear with a large capacity roof box. To dial in the fit, measure from the front mounting points to the windshield and confirm your crossbar spread so the box won't overhang the glass or block the rear hatch; also check antenna clearance. Set up correctly, these boxes can run quiet with little effect on mileage, but always watch your overall height in garages.
Measure from the center of your front mounting points or front crossbar to the start of the windshield, then check your crossbar spread. Large, wide boxes can contact the roof or antenna on some factory crossbars. Sliding the bars forward or using aftermarket crossbars can help. Verify you can open the rear hatch and, if equipped, the sunroof.
Add your vehicle height, rack height, and the box's overall height to check against garage limits. Some low-profile boxes list around 10 inches of inside height, and designs with a bottom indentation may sit slightly lower from the top of the bar up. Be mindful of parking garage clearances and overhead obstacles.
Confirm your crossbar spread by measuring center to center and match it to the box's required range. Ensure the box can sit fully on the rails without hanging off. Set the bar spacing to the manufacturer's recommendation to help reduce nose bouncing and improve stability.
It can run quiet with minimal impact on mileage when set up correctly. Position your bars to the recommended spread to help reduce nose movement. Use aerodynamic crossbars when possible and take a short test drive, then recheck the mounts.
