Question:
Will this box fit on the 2020 Kia telluride oem crossbars? Would other Thule boxes fit as well? My concern is that the factor bars have a slight curve in them. Thanks for the help!!!

Hey Tyler, thanks for the picture! Yes, the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH59PN will definitely fit the factory crossbars on your 2020 Kia Telluride. It has exterior dimensions of 91-11/16" long x 36-3/16" wide x 17-1/2" tall and weighs 57.2 lbs. The weight added to the crossbars will push that bow down pretty quickly.
There are indeed smaller versions that will work too like the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH6357B.
Please note that you will want to have your crossbars spread out from 21-13/16" - 36-9/16" from each other so the mounting clamps attach.
I have linked a review video below so you can see the functions of this cargo box demonstrated.
