Thule force xt m roof box review.

It comes in black as tested here or alternatively there s a similarly glossy silver. This system is easier to use with gloves on than previous locks thule has outfitted cargo carriers with. The image is a 2015 dodge durango with factory cargo rack and force xt xl thule box. 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.

It s sturdy well built and secure. I avg about 78 mph and heard very little noise. The motion xt was hands down the nicest box in our review. It s exactly what you expect from thule.

So rather than the traditional bulbous shape it has a sleeker profile which thule says has been optimised for aerodynamics. The motion xt is designed to be a more stylish roof box. Even the finish on the outer shell is fantastic. All in all the design of this cargo carrier is really nice.

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 sturdy and gave us plenty of space for our trip to florida. 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. Plus the 300 litre of space is very useable despite the powerclick adjusters intruding somewhat.

Hope this helps those thinking about purchasing a cargo box. 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.
