The factory-installed roof rack on your 2014 Toyota Sequoia is perfectly compatible with a range of Thule's rooftop cargo boxes.
You can use their 22-cf Motion XT model # TH629906 if you need a really large volume capacity and box length. If you want the best value in a Thule box you can select the Force XT, part # TH6356B, which provides 11-cubic feet of cargo volume. All will fit your factory bars.
A great accessory item you might consider is the cost-effective Camco step # CAM43676. This comes fully-assembled, is made of lightweight aluminum and it gives you almost a foot of extra reach for easier loading and unloading.
If you want to confirm you can open your rear hatch with the box installed you can refer to the linked chart that shows you the required distance from the center of your front crossbar to the rear hatch seam to allow full hatch opening without interference with the rear of the cargo box.
Keep in mind that the combined total weight of the cargo box itself plus your loaded cargo items should remain within the roof's rated capacity. This should appear in your owner's manual.
