Cargo Box for 2019 Audi SQ5 with Factory Roof Rack that Will fit with Fly Rod Tube Carrier

Updated 07/05/2019 | Published 07/04/2019

Question:

What cargo box do you recommend for a 2019 Audi SQ5 with Audi factory roof rack? I would also like to simultaneously mount a fly rod tube that is 11inch wide.

I checked with Thule and all of their roof cargo boxes are a fit for your 2019 Audi Q5 so the best option will be one that has enough cargo space for your needs and also leaves enough roof for your fly rod tube.

The Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 that you referenced is a really great choice and most likely your best option. It can carry up to 16 cubic feet of cargo space and overall is 33 inches wide. Since I don't have your bar width you'll have to determine if that leaves enough room.

To get down to a narrower width box you'd want the 11 cubic foot Thule Force XT part # TH6356B which measures 24-3/4 inches wide. The in-between size of the Pulse and the Force is actually wider so this would be best option for narrower width.

I attached a link to a video that shows the Pulse demoed on a similar 2013 Q5 for you to check out as well.
