Question:

With the 2019 Toyota 4Runner roof rack factory cross bars will the Thule Force box interfere with the opening of the tailgate? I noticed that the Thule Motion has what appears to be a favorable rear slope.

Expert Reply:

You can definitely fit the Thule Force XT XL # TH6358B on your 2019 Toyota 4Runner with enough hatch clearance, but you'll need to install an aftermarket roof rack to accomplish this because the OEM roof rack on your 4Runner sits too close to the roof for the clamps to fit.

For an aftermarket roof rack you can use a cost-effective option like the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 that will get the job done, but I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack, parts # TH711420 and # TH710401 (Lock Cores # TH450400 are optional), because it not only looks better, but the crossbars and legs are a higher quality.

I've attached install videos for both roof racks as well as a review of the Force XT XL for you to check out.
