Thule Force Rooftop Cargo Box

The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box, Large, Black fit perfectly on our 2021 Honda Pilot Touring. It held one huge suitcase, and three additional carry-on suitcases, plus room for towels and blankets in between the spaces. After placing the order I was feeling regret not going with the XL or XXL. But when I received the Large size box, it was bigger than I had thought. It looks big on the ground, but not so much when installed on the SUV. The Large size was perfect for our SUV and for our family of 5. It installs on the roof rack with ease. The noise was not very noticeable. If there was decrease in gas mileage, it was not noticeable. Locking was not too complicated as long as one does not over stuff the cargo box. The look and design is elegant on the SUV. We went through so much rain that I was worried about leaks. No water got in this great box. We were very happy with the free shipping from buying directly from Amazon. Otherwise it would have cost up to $350 in shipping & handling at other sellers. Now with the shipping, Pilot Freight Services leaves much to be desired. Others have pointed out that the box is damaged or beat up when received. That is very true. Our cargo box was scratched on the top and dented on the bottom. I remember reading a review where someone said it's unacceptable to receive the cargo box in such condition when it costs nearly $700. I did think about sending it back. But I was grateful to have received the cargo box and our vacation was weeks away that i decided to keep it. I had to use a hair dryer to pop out the dents. As for the scratch on the top, it did not pierced through so i overlooked it. Overall very happy with the investment. This cargo made our summer travel much better.

The big box looks great! Install was super easy on the 2016 Ford Explorer with OE roof rack cross bars. The rear bar on the vehicle was installed in the forward position. It appears it may not fit with the rear crossbar mounted in the rear position. No need, it looks great and works perfectly in the default location. It's a fairly impressive unit. American made. Opens from both sides and has three latches per side operated by one lock from the outside. Function is whiz-bang smooth although a little dry lube would make it even better. The unit could easily be moved rearwards another four inches and still clear the open hatch. See pictures. To install straight inline with the car I eyeballed the Explorer's roof ribs with the geography on the bottom of the unit. I did not turn the grabbers down until they clicked. They have stupendously strong gripping force and I felt I was in the zone before I reached the built-in torque limiter. Might have gotten pretty close. We'll check them again after a few miles and see if anything moved. This thing is great because if you get stuck somewhere, you can rip off the top and use it as an escape raft. If the waters are frozen, the top triples as a toboggan. The lifetime warranty may not cover extra-cirricular conveyance. Not sure. A NOTE: On the mounting clamps, it is possible to screw the handwheel all the way out and the unit will come apart. If that happens, there is potential to lose all kinds of hardware from the internals. They rely on the wheel housing to retain them. Shipping: It took the full month to get here, just as stated in the description. Future updates may come as we put the unit to use. Happy customer.

This roof cargo carrier is great. It is not heavy but it is Extra Large so it is cumbersome and best installed by two people. However, it is large enough to hold six carry-on bags with room for small bags, shoes, etc. on the sides. It can open from both sides, which is very helpful, but I typically only load it from one side. There three are tie down straps included that are fine. There are brackets for three tie down straps set wide enough for two carry-on bags each to be secured. I would recommend measuring the cargo rail clamps center to center to get the correct distance to set your roof cargo rails apart. Save those measurements to save time when installing the cargo carrier in the future. There is minimal wind noise when traveling at interstate speeds. When loaded, the cargo carrier makes the vehicle drive a little top-heavy, but that is to be expected and does not concern me when driving. I still feel that I have full mobility when driving.

The sport version of this works great on my 4-Runner roof. You need 2 cross bars to attach, but I was shocked at how easily I can put it on and take it off myself. It isn't heavy so I can lift it alone and remove it. Lots of space inside. There are two clips that attach to the bars, and they can move forward and backward quite a bit so you don't have to adjust the rails of the roof rack. Really happy with the purchase. I am using it with a low profile Gobi roof rack.

付けた感じは思っていたより大きくなくその割に収納力がある

とっても良いです。 真夏に往復2000km以上のドライブしましたが問題なし。新東名の120km/hも。雨風も。 勝手な都合ですが、あと高さが3cm低ければ、うちの車(SUV)で、高さ2.1mマックスのパーキングに入れるのでなお良しです。

Huge capacity,easy to install,solid build. Very helpful that opening from both sides. Very good quality!

Lo instalé en un golf variant. Luce muy bien.

I really recommend this unit ease to install and there’s lot of space
