Thule Force Xt M Roof Box Review

It has a sturdy construction sleek matte black finish and simple mounting system but lost some points for not having a handle and being slightly finicky to lock.

Thule force xt m roof box review.

This system is easier to use with gloves on than previous locks thule has outfitted cargo carriers with. We did though lose about 1 1 5 mpg in gas. Although it wasn t a leader in any of our rating metrics the thule force xt xl is a great cargo box that offers above average performance. So rather than the traditional bulbous shape it has a sleeker profile which thule says has been optimised for aerodynamics.

The thule force xt roof box includes a clever opening system called the lockknob and the thule comfort key can be used on either side of the box. The motion xt is designed to be a more stylish roof box. The convenient dual side access allows you to open the box from both the driver and passenger side which is a big bonus as it is not always practical to use one side of your car. It s sturdy and gave us plenty of space for our trip to florida.

The image is a 2015 dodge durango with factory cargo rack and force xt xl thule box. Hope this helps those thinking about purchasing a cargo box. The motion xt was hands down the nicest box in our review. I avg about 78 mph and heard very little noise.

Plus the 300 litre of space is very useable despite the powerclick adjusters intruding somewhat. It s sturdy well built and secure. It comes in black as tested here or alternatively there s a similarly glossy silver. The combination of sturdy construction thoughtful locking mechanisms incredibly mounting clamps and an ergonomic handle make for an obvious editors choice award winner.

It s exactly what you expect from thule. All in all the design of this cargo carrier is really nice.
