Can Yakima Skybox NX Cargo Boxes Fit OEM Crossbars of 2016 Toyota 4Runner  

Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/06/2024

Question:

Will the Skybox NX 16 and/or the NX 18 fit on the roof of my 2016 4Runner and still allow the hatch to open? Further, will this box work with the factory cross bars or are they too low to use for this desired setup? I prefer to keep the mount as low as possible without hitting the roof at speed. Thank you.

Hey John, so to use either of those cargo boxes you'd have to install an aftermarket crossbar setup like the part # MPG215 as the OEM bars are just too low to the roof of your vehicle. Both boxes # MPG215 should have no problem allowing the rear hatch open.

Hey John, how did things work out with the SkyBox NX on your 4Runner once you added the Malone crossbars? Your update could make it easier for others trying to get the right clearance for their hatch.
