Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box - 15 Cubic Ft - Glossy Black

(41)

$1142.47

Question:

Can you please share how high this box sits above the crossbeams? Can you also please share how low the clamps sit under the crossbeams? I am trying to see if this box would be compatible with the new 2023 Telluride XPro with raised rails. There is a sunroof, and while I do not intend on opening in winter, I want to be sure that there will be enough clearance for it to open if a button was hit by mistake. thanks.

The Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box part # YA74FR will sit about 18" above the crossbars. If you're looking for something more low-profile, I recommend the Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y46FR which will only sit 10" above the crossbars. The GrandTour Lo does have a smaller capacity at 15 cu. ft. but only just slightly.

In regards to the mounting clamps, these only hang down below the bars a few inches which you can see in the attached photo but this will vary slightly based on the crossbar size.
