“I have had my Thule Motion XT L for a few years now and it is still as handy and good lookin’ as day 1! I have enough room for most of my skis (only my long skis at 184cm dont fit, my 180cm pair does) and all my camping gear. This way, the dogs have plenty of room in the car, and all the gear goes up top. One of my favorite purchases ever!”

“Can I say, "This is the greatest thing I've ever purchased?" This might seem an exaggeration, but...We'd never owned a hard-shell cargo carrier thing. Years ago we bought a rugged backpack fabric carrier that flopped around and was impossible to load and always seemed to be falling off the car. People would pass by us on the road with expressions of concern looking toward the top of our car. Frances said, "This Thule is what we should get, it's in stock today." We've been married a long time. I'm a slow learner, so it was years ago that I realized, 'Oh, I recognize this voice, this isn't negotiable,' so I said, "Where is the place?" The guys in the shop said, "It's easy, it's not a problem," when I asked if it was difficult to secure and take off. Turns out, they knew what they were talking about. We've used it on three transcontinental treks, Texas to CA and back, twice, and this summer on a trek to and from Austin to Atlanta. Thousands of miles. I don't want to jinx anything by saying how great it is. I'm old (OAF) and I can get it up on top of the rack and secure it all by myself. I'm kinda proud of that, but it's the "box" and its design that make it possible, not so much me. The clamps, the wheels to turn to tighten the clamps, the design is so simple and effective, does it take 5 minutes to install? Maybe less. My secret ingredient is packing blanket I borrowed from UHaul in 1987. I hang that on the side of our Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Close the top edge of the blanket in the door. Stand the Thule on its end, slide it straight up until it tilts toward the front of the vehicle, let it fall forward onto the roof racks. With the clamps loosened they're easily placed in their appropriate position once the box is opened up. Turn the dials (wheels) to secure. Test the tightness again. How simple is that? BOOM. It's been hotter than hell this summer in Austin (well not hotter than Palm Springs, but 100+ for 50 days straight is too damn hot), and I show my Thule not love, none whatsoever. It's out there in the side yard in the heat every day. Of course, back in February we had the BIG freeze for a week. 100,000 trees froze to death. People died. Roads were impassable. Folks had no water. Our Thule was out there in the side yard with a 1/4 inch layer of ice encasing the whole thing. Heat. Ice. No snakes inside, either. It's worth trekking around just to be able to use it.”

“This cargo box has been a lifesaver for us on two cross-country trips (coast to coast) and one 3200-mile round trip. We haven't had any issues with the box except once in a monsoon when things did get wet. We don't have monsoons often. It looks sleek and compliments our black Jeep SUV.”
