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…
WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

Roof Boxes for quiet, low-profile cargo
Pack bulky gear up top without crowding the cabin. Low-profile options fit skis and help with garage clearance while keeping wind noise down, and many install easily on aero bars, OEM racks, or even platform-style racks. Check hatch and roof fin clearance, crossbar size, and whether you want dual-side access or a T-slot mount for oversized bars.
Yes, some boxes mount on platform-style racks and can fit larger bars. If the standard clamps don't fit your bars, swapping to a T-slot mounting kit can solve it. Check your bar size and whether your box offers T-slot hardware to match the rack's channel.
Low-profile boxes on aero crossbars can be very quiet at interstate speeds. Proper placement and snug mounts help minimize wind noise. Expect some hit to gas mileage on the interstate; shifting more weight toward the front of the box has helped significantly. Keep gear secured so it doesn't shift.
Installation can be easy with tool-free clamp systems. Position the box on your crossbars, set the clamps, and tighten evenly. Dual-side locking adds convenience for loading. If the lock feels finicky, make sure the lid is fully closed and the internal links are engaged before turning the key to help the mechanism work smoothly.
It can, with the right box length and bar setup. If you're worried about a roof fin, choose bars that let you position the box for clearance. Through-style crossbars give you more usable bar space; flush-style bars are sleeker and a little quieter. Mount the box so it doesn't interfere with the hatch when opened.
