Question:

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. Just purchased a 2023 Lexus GX460 with Flush roof rail system. I would like to purchase the Thule Motion 3, just not sure if the cross bars will allow enough clearance. Thank you.

It does look like the OEM roof rack kit on your 2023 Lexus GX 460 is going to sit really close to your roof so I recommend replacing that with an aftermarket system to ensure you have enough clearance to your roof for the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box # TH67PN to fit.

I recommend using the Yakima TimberLine FX Roof Rack # Y68UV because it retains more of an OEM look for crossbars and will work great for the Motion 3.
