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).

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.

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.

Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 Cu Ft - Matte Black
my rooftop carrier! It was perfect for our golf clubs. etrailer was wonderful. Great communication and it arrived on expected date.
It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.

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.

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 Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
This is a great car-top carrier. It is light and easy to install and move around. The opening and locking mechanisms also work well. I drove 5 hours with it in the rain and no moisture made it inside. eTrailer was also great when ordering. The freight company lost the first one and eTrailer simply sent me a replacement. Great company to work with.
Great product from a great company I bought this rooftop box for my daughter last year when she moved from Georgia to Oregon. It held well even in ran and snow. This is my second Thule rooftop box. I wish I had bought the first one from etrailer. They have great prices and great customer service.

As far as the ShellRaiser itself, you have eight cubic feet.
Test Fitting the Inno Gear Case 720 Rooftop Cargo Box on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
How's it going, Subaru owners This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Gear Case 720 Rooftop Basket on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition. Now, taking a look at your Subaru, you already know that as far as cargo space and getting those bigger items on the road with you is kinda limited with the area you have in the back. This is gonna allow you to take advantage of the negative space on top of your vehicle once you add a roof rack system. So let's take a closer look at our carrier case and see what makes it special. The gear carry is 11 and a half cubic feet, so that's gonna give you plenty of space for your items and you know, your sleeping bags, duffel bags, just the things you don't have space in there for.

DIY Install: Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Box and seeing how it fits on the top of our 2024 Subaru Outback. Now, if you're looking to expand the cargo space of your Outback and you want to utilize that factory roof rack since you already have it, the SkyBox is gonna be a great way to do it, and there's a number of reasons for that. For one, it's a pretty sizable box, giving you 16 cubic feet of storage space. But two, the factory roof rack sits really close to the top of the roof on your Outback, and that can present problems for certain clamp round accessories just not having the room or maybe making contact with that painted surface on your roof. The low-profile clamps on the SkyBox are gonna work great with your factory bars on your Outback, making it, in my opinion, the perfect solution.
DIY Install: Thule Motion 3 Low Profile Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Motion 3 Roof Box, and we're gonna see how it fits on the top of our 2023 Subaru Outback. Now this is gonna be one of their low profile boxes and of their extra, extra large size, giving you 18 cubic feet of storage space. If you're looking to absolutely max out on what your Outback can handle in terms of size for a roof box, this is a pretty good place to start. Let's check it out. But the reason I say that is because you're cutting it really close with this box on your hatch clearance.
Mount: Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer, and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Motion 3 16 cubic foot roof box. And we're gonna see how it fits on the top of our 2023 Subaru Outback. Now the Motion 3 comes in two different color variations for this large size they have. We have today the Titan finish, which is just a dark gray, and then, of course, just black. So if you don't like the way this looks with this particular color Outback, or maybe your own, if you've got a different color, that's okay. Standard black is available, but for people that want to match the gray to maybe accent a certain color on their Subaru, or match, if they've got a gray finish, this might be a really unique option.
Installation: Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer.

Overall, it's a fairly low profile box so do keep that in mind when you're loading it up. But you should be able to fit a wide variety of things. This box can open from either side of the vehicle so you have easy access whether you're having some street parking or in a parking lot where there's limited space. Just turn the key to unlock it.
Install: Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hey it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 rooftop cargo box and how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback wagon. So if you have a lot of items, you do have a decent amount of storage in your Subaru, but maybe you have some longer items, maybe you just have something messy, maybe you have skis and snowboards or something like a golf bag that's gonna take up a bunch of space. You'd rather get it up on the roof, but you wanna keep it safe while you're getting it to where you need it to go, this is gonna be a great option for you. So let's check out how it works. The box says 16 cubic feet of storage, which is kind of hard to internalize and know what that means.
How to Install: Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 rooftop box and seeing how it fits on our 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. So one thing I do wanna note is that this roof box does work with your factory bars. That's how we have it installed today. You can totally use it with aftermarket crossbars if you have those too. But since your Outback probably is gonna come with factory raised rails and these factory crossbars it is important to know that it fits because a lot of crossbars from the factory are a lot thinner and sometimes don't work with as many accessories.
Setting up the Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop box and seeing how it fits on the top of our 2022 Subaru Outback. So I do wanna point out right away that we are using this with factory crossbars. That's pretty important to note because sometimes factory crossbars will have a lower weight capacity than aftermarket ones and generally they're gonna be a lot smaller, so fitting certain accessories is going to be a bit more difficult. So if something works with factory crossbars which a lot of these Subarus have, it's good to know because you wanna make sure the accessory you're looking at works with those. Now it's gonna work just fine with aftermarket crossbars too, pretty much anything will but with these ones you wanna know that it's working with those.
