Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Box

This cargo box is incredibly well designed from both an esthetics and functional point of view. The XL fits like a glove on our 2023 Highlander. I was really wanting to try the XXL but according to my measurements and the fitment chart provided by Thule, it appears the hatch would contact the box on that model. I went with the XL for peace of mind since I knew it would fit and it’s plenty of space for for our needs. We can easily fit two full sized suitcases and one carryon size with plenty of room around them to stuff other miscellaneous items. Installation was a breeze and took me less than 10 minutes. The vehicle with the box still fits in the garage and can be opened and loaded there as well. The lock and latching mechanism make opening and closing the box a breeze - it feels much smoother than the old Yakima Skybox I had before and overall this feels much higher quality. I’ve only had the carrier for a day so will update later with better pictures and more information on road noise and durability. Read more

Great storage space and fits very low on the roof much more streamlined than I thought. Easy to take on and off of the roof rack of my Tesla with the included claws that it has. Read more

Great purchase overall! I did have some inconveniences with the order, which caused me a lot of headaches and took more time than expected. Thankfully, everything went smoothly in the end, and I finally received my order in great condition. Some people mentioned issues with the adhesive in the front, but you can simply use an adhesive spray to remove it easily without leaving any residue or marks. One thing to note: mine came with a very small dent from the inside out. It looks like a minor factory assembly issue, but it’s barely noticeable and not a big deal I’m keeping it. The main problem I experienced was the shipping, which required a lot of follow-up and persistence before they finally delivered it. Aside from that, I’m very satisfied with the product. The dimensions are perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I installed it myself without much trouble. The box isn’t heavy, but you should handle it with care if you drop it, it could break.

Fits nice, rides with not much noise. I love that it opens from both sides. I put it on my 2025 camry xse and it look sharp. Read more

Bought this in early October as an early Christmas gift. Opened it up on December 20 and was faced with a nightmare. The pivot fastener holding the arm to the top part of the cargo box was detached and I had to install it via a screw and then the locking mechanism in the right side came out when using the key. The cargo box does not lock from the right side anymore and I had to use thick weather tape to hide it. It can be opened up easily by anyone without the key. Never trusting a Thule product again.

Amazing box. First trip and it held two carry ons and quite a few duffle bags and still had room left. Drove it from Ohio to Wisconsin in heavy rain and it may have only had a few drops in although it only advertises as water resistant…but it still did well. It was easy to lock into place a felt really secure. The true test was a winter storm that popped up while we were out of town with 30mph wind gusts and heavy snow. I was keeping an eye on it randomly throughout the drive through the moon roof and while it bounced a bit (most likely due to the roof mounts) we had no issues. Read more

This box is spacious, yet low enough to fit into garage. The clamps are strong. It iseasy to install but it does take two people. Read more

Good box. Only improvement is it’s long and you need to pull each end down to lock it not just the middle. Steady and aerodynamic on the road at full highway speed. Read more
