How to Determine if the Thule Force Large will Clear the Rear Hatch of a Vehicle

Question:

Hello. I was wondering if you know what the front clearance of this box is? Im trying to determine if it will fit on my 2013 Honda CR-V without making contact with the rear hatch. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The Thule Force Large cargo box part # TH6357B requires 47-7/8 inches from the center of the front crossbar on a vehicle back to the seam for the rear hatch in order to clear.

You will want to take your front crossbar and slide it all the way forward on your vehicle and then measure from the center of the bar to the seam of your hatch. As long as you have at least 47-7/8 inches you would be fine.
