Largest Cargo Box That Wont Interfere with the Hatch on 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
I am going to order a roof box for my new Grand Cherokee. I am looking for the largest capacity cargo box that will not interfere with my hatch back opening fully. The measurement from the font crossbar mounting hole to the edge of the roof is 49. I have looked at the Yakima rocketbox 14 and a Thule Pulse large. Are their other/better alternatives that would rock like the Whispbar Aero mid-size?

I recommend taking a look at the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box, # TH6357B. Some of its best features are quick and easy installation, low-profile style, and the fact that it can be opened from either side. This box offers a capacity of 16 cu ft and requires a front clearance measurement of 47-1/2 inches. Since you state that you have 49 inches from the front crossbar mounting hole to the hatch seam, this box should be perfect for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Yakima Rocketbox Pro 14, # Y07192, or the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box, # TH614, that you mentioned would only offer a capacity of 14 cu ft.
