We’re big fans of the taller capacity of the SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box for packing tall items like luggage that might not fit in sportier cargo box styles. It’s not long enough for items like skis. The Details: 91.5 x 37.5 x 18 inches | 55 pounds | 165-pound load capacity The top also won’t close without locking it with the key, and we found the keyhole to be a little tricky to use, but we love feeling confident that our gear is secure and safe in the locked box. We do wish the lid opened up a little wider for packing large items, but it was still painless to load and unload all of our gear. There are also straps included in the interior for extra protection, and it has dual access to make packing and unpacking even easier. We were able to pack camping gear, luggage, and snowboards into the main compartment, so we know the capacity is ideal for a variety of activities. After using the carrier for three months, including to pack ski gear for four people, it still feels completely stable, and we can’t tell when driving that there's a car roof carrier attached. This was also one of the sturdiest boxes we tested. The instructions are straightforward and simple to follow, and we love that it only took 20 minutes to assemble and install the roof carrier with two people. The cargo box weighs 55 pounds, and the lightweight design makes it easy to load and unload it from a rooftop. Out of the four Thule roof carriers we tried, the Motion XT model is our favorite one and overall winner. We wish the top could open up a little wider for loading big items. ![]()
