Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
Excellent car top carrier (not that I've had many to compare it to). Easy to install and remove, sturdy, and fits well on our Toyota Siena. Opening it is a little tricky, as sometimes the top sticks to the bottom a bit. Adds a lot of extra storage to our car, great for when we go camping. Great experience with etrailer.
Excellent roomy cargo box. My wife’s luggage even fit (see photo). Fit the top of my Forester like it was meant to be there and the hatch opens without obstruction. Great shipping by etrailer.com via Estes freight shipping (almost overkill on shipping).

SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black
After a year of dependable use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box continues to perform to my needs, wants, and expectations. The 2 attributes that shine the most are ease of access/cargo loading (rear access vs. side) and ease of off/on (lightweight and access to the U-bolt hardware). While the overall quality of the materials and hardware are not quite "Excellent", they're darn close. For my needs I'm very happy with this cargo box and the price point makes it a better option the the more expensive brands. It may not be as cool and groovy as a Th*** or Yak*** box but it gets the job done.
The Roof Box was as described and fit great -- Nice. Shipping however was not good, trucker dropped it and the skid at the foot of the driveway -- It looked like it had been crushed and dropped. There was some slight damage, but we accepted it as complaining would be more trouble than it is worth. E Trailer should vet their carriers better -- no care taken with this shipment.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy
This rooftop cargo carrier is exactly what I wanted. Well made and super easy to install. Thank you for the fast service.
The box is big (XL), shiny and sleek. Looks great on our 2021 Subaru Ascent. It weighs about 40lbs, so I was able to simply lift it up and onto the stock Subaru cross bars by myself with a bit of effort going towards balance. Then it was just a matter of attaching the clamps by hand tightening them. I don’t think it could get any easier. The locking mechanism is very assertive and secure. The box is big and can hold just about anything you’d need on a road trip. However, on a midsize SUV like the Ascent, it seems like the perfect size, not too small, not too big. It’s a good fit. Unfortunately, my small 2 car garage is too low to accommodate the vehicle with the box in place. Overall it’s a very refined and well thought out package.

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
I can see why people consider the box a bit flimsy, especially when you do not have it secured to the car and nothing is inside. That’s normal. For this to weigh 34 lbs and yet to be wall sturdy and provide waterproof conditions that the bag cannot, it has to be lightweight. Once we attached it to the car at 4 points, it wasn’t going anywhere and was instantly sturdy. I wouldn’t roughhouse with the locks or opening it up and down with force however. Also, 14 cu for a sedan is plenty. Anything larger and you are looking to push the limits.
Bought this box to hold camping gear while on a cross country road trip. You can put quite a bit of stuff in it. Held securely to roof rack and kept contents dry. I liked that the key could not be removed if lid wasn’t completely closed. Minimal affect on gas milage.

Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.
Inno Shadow 15 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2016 Acura MDX
Hey guys, today we have a 2016 Acura MDX and we're going to do a test fit of the Inno Shadow 15 rooftop cargo box. Now, this cargo box is a great accessory to add onto your roof rack. It's going to allow you to get a lot of that excess cargo or luggage loaded up into there, because there is no space on the inside of your vehicle, so that you have more elbow and leg room for those longer road trips you might be taking. One of the things I really like about this box is you can see it's got a really nice low profile to it. It's not one of those boxes that's going to add a ton of height to your roof, it's going to help cut down on wind noise and drag, you can see it's got a really nice sleek aerodynamic shape to it as well. So, that's going to help out also.
Yakima Roof Box Review - 2016 Acura MDX
Today on our 2016 Acura MDX we're gonna be doing a test fit on the Yakima SkyBox Lo Rooftop Cargo Box.I've already got it in place just to give you a good idea of what it looks like on your MDX. Now with this box it's gonna allow you to free up space inside your MDX for more gear or passengers and pets. As you can see it's a low-profile design. This is gonna be great for skis and snowboards, anything that you're not looking to stack up real high. It's about 11-1/2 inches tall, about 92 inches long, and about 36 inches wide. So where it lacks in that height it makes up for in width.
Thule Roof Box Review - 2016 Acura MDX
Today on our 2016 Acura MDX, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box. I've already got it in place just to give you a good idea what it looks like. This is going to allow us to carry gear up and on top of our roof rather than inside of our vehicle. This is a great option rather than carry a cargo carrier or use a trailer behind our vehicle. This is very similar to a roof-mounted basket except that this is going to give us security and protect us from the elements. That way we can leave it unattended.It's universal so it's going to work with your round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory roof rack systems.
