We can get you the best cargo box to go with a Thule roof rack for your 2017 Honda HR-V. First we need to get you the right Thule roof rack though, with the WingBar absolutely being the best due to its durability, strength, how quiet it is, and how easy it is to install and use on your HR-V. The right rack will depend on if you have a naked roof (no rails at all) or flush-mounted rails that run front to back.

Naked Roof:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400 or Black # TH711420
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145175

For a cargo box for hauling gear, I highly recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box because of how easy it is to use and install and its aerodynamic shape that will slice through the wind to heavily minimize nose.

The Force XT has a lid that opens from either side of your car to make it easy to access, and the lid stays open until you choose to close it, so it won't fall on you as you try to load or unload your gear. It also installs with a clamp that grips the sides of your crossbars. It is extremely durable as well, so much so that it comes with a lifetime warranty, so it will be the last cargo box you ever need to purchase.

It has integrated locks, but if you want to use the same key to lock your roof rack and the cargo box you will need the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 6 # TH450600.

The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box is available with three different cargo capacities, 16 Cubic Feet # TH6357B, 18 Cubic Feet # TH6358B and 22 Cubic Feet # TH6359B.
