Question:
I have a Thule AeroBlade Edge 7503 mounted on my 2016 4runner, I wanted to know if Thule Motion XT XL will sit nicely on top of my runner. I really like the cross bar for itss low profile spec and also wanted the box. Please I need help.

The Thule Motion XT XL, part # TH6298B, is compatible with the Thule AeroBlade Edge, part # TH7503-TH7503.
The clamps inside the Motion XT will clip to the roof rack and you can move the AeroBlade Edges to match these clamps position inside the box. When you mount the roof box and load it, make sure that you are within your roof's factory weight limits. For the 2016 Toyota 4Runner, this is 132lbs with an evenly distributed load. Subtracting the weight of the box and crossbars, this leaves you 85lbs of available luggage weight.
The Thule Motion is available in both black glossy, part # TH629806, and titan glossy, part # TH629807.
