Question:

Will this unit fit my Kia Carnival Hybrid Prestige with factory crossbars without interfering with the tailgate? Is this about the quietest cargo box I can buy?

Hey Greg, yes the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box # TH59PN that you referenced does fit the OEM crossbars of your 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid Prestige, won't interfere with your rear hatch opening, and is the quietest box out there so it would be your best option.

Thank you for your reply. Trying to decide on when to order. Trailer hitch first...

@Greg The Curt hitch # C67ER would be a really great option if you are still trying to figure out which one you want.

@JamesonC Actually, we arranged for an installer recommended by you to have the EcoHitch installed. Much more expensive, but I determined that the other hitches hung down further than I was comfortable with. I watched the install video for the EcoHitch and decided (with my wife's urging) that I would take a pass on the self install and have a pro do it. This even though I used to be an auto mechanic.
