• Yakima CBX 16 Cargo Box Height From Crossbar
• The Yakima CBX Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic Ft # Y66FR is going to add about 14-1/2" of height to your crossbars. There is a little indention where the clamps are for the box but when I reached out to my contact at Yakima he said it looks deceiving and it might reduce the height by maybe 1/8" but nothing significant. If you need something lower than that I recommend checking out the Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box # Y46FR which has 15 Cubit Ft of storage, so about the same as the...

• Ball Mount and Ball for 2020 BMW X3 Factory Hitch
• I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs item # 989900 for your 2020 BMW X3. This will give you a couple options for height on where your ball should be. This will fit the 2' receiver in your X3's factory tow package. I have also linked an article that will help you measure for trailer hitch drop. We do offer torque wrenches. I recommend the Torque Wrench - Dual Scale - 1/2" Drive - 250 ft/lb item # PT79FR. The torque rating for both the 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch...

• Dimensions of Yakima Skybox # Y07334
• The Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07334 is a very nice roof box. The lid opens for an 11 inch gap so your 22x11 suitcase will fit.

The exterior height is 16 inches and the interior height is just shy of that at about 15-3/4. The inside gives you about another inch and the contour gives you...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2013 BMW X3
• The color and the price. Both the etrailer item # e78AR and the Curt item # C13316 are manufactured by Curt to the same standards and specifications. The only visual difference is that the etrailer Hitch has a matte finish as opposed to the Curt which has a glossy finish. Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit the 2013 BMW X3. I recommend going with the most affordable option. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit...

• Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for a 2010 BMW X3
• There's two options to add a 4-way wiring harness to your 2010 BMW X3 E83. There is not a custom fit harness that plugs in so both will require testing wires to get them set up. The main difference in the two harnesses is one clamps on without having to cut and splice wires and the other requires splicing. I have listed both options below: Splicing Wires - Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C59236 Clamp On No Splicing Wires - ZCI Circuit Protected...

• Amperage Draw of Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001
• The Autowbrake brake controller part # 3430001 that you referenced draws up to 15 amps. It's only going to draw amperage when the controller is activating the trailer brake so it would not be something you'd need to install an on/off switch on to prevent battery drain.
