Thule Force Xt M Roof Box Review

The motion xt was hands down the nicest box in our review.

Thule force xt m roof box review. 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 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. The combination of sturdy construction thoughtful locking mechanisms incredibly mounting clamps and an ergonomic handle make for an obvious editors choice award winner. I avg about 78 mph and heard very little noise.

The image is a 2015 dodge durango with factory cargo rack and force xt xl thule box. Since we opted for the xl version of the force xt we experienced the luxury of maximum cargo space. Plus the 300 litre of space is very useable despite the powerclick adjusters intruding somewhat. The thule force xt sport is a good choice as an occasional roof box so for instance if you re likely to only need it a few times a year for holidays or trips away.

We did though lose about 1 1 5 mpg in gas. The motion xt is designed to be a more stylish roof box. Hope this helps those thinking about purchasing a cargo box. 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.

It s exactly what you expect from thule. This system is easier to use with gloves on than previous locks thule has outfitted cargo carriers with. All in all the design of this cargo carrier is really nice. It s sturdy and gave us plenty of space for our trip to florida.

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. Even the finish on the outer shell is fantastic.
