I chose the Thule Motion XT firstly because the glossy black matches the shadow line package perfectly. It is very spacious and can be opened from both sides. Comes with 2 keys to keep it secure. It is very simple to attach to roof rack, simply have to turn 4 knobs on the inside to clamp it to the rack.
If people are considering larger box, XL will likely fit but will hang over the windshield. |
Looks great with the shadow line! Any issue with the antenna? Currently between the L (16 cu ft, 165lbs), XL (18cu ft, 165lbs), and the OEM 520L (18.4 cu ft, 154lbs).
Trying to decide whether the slight extra space of the OEM is more valuable than the extra weight the Thules are rated for. From the specs of them, it seems the OEM is about an inch shorter but I'm not sure if those are interior or exterior dimensions.
How much of an MPG loss did you note with the Thule? None of the racks have an associated Cd published, so curious what's been seen real world.
