Will Thule Hyper XL or Yakima Skybox 16 Fit 2014 Infini QX60 with Factory Roof Rack

Question:

Looking for the best roof box from either Yakima or Thule on my stock cross bars ... I have gotten mixed reviews that they fit and then they don't. Please help. I prefer the Thule box because of the color scheme. I have a black truck. I intend to leave the box on my roof all year around

Both the Thule Motion XT # TH629706 and the Yakima Skybox NX 16 # Y45AV will fit the factory roof rack of your 2014 Inifinit QX60.

To determine if you will have enough space to open your rear hatch with either box installed, you'll need to measure from the center of your front crossbar to the seem where the hatch and roof meet. For the Thule this will need to be at least 51-1/4 inches and the Yakima at least 47 inches.

Both boxes include locks to lock the box closed and secure it to the roof rack. The Thule is 3-1/2 inches longer giving it extra space compared to the Yakima.
