asked by: Joseph B
Expert Reply:
The different types of car top cargo carriers, enclosed boxes such as the Thule Motion XT # TH629806 and metal basket carriers like their Canyon XT # TH859XT, each offer certain advantages and the better option for you may depend on the nature of your cargo items. Skis for instance clearly will do better in a cargo box, as will more delicate items that need protection from the elements.
If your 2012 Honda Pilot has factory-installed side-to-side roof rack bars the either of the above products is confirmed to fit. If you have another roof configuration please let me know.
An valuable and inexpensive accessory I always recommend for use with rooftop carriers is a simple folding step, Telesteps # TE97FR. This lightweight aluminum step comes fully-assembled and it provides nearly a foot of additional reach for your rooftop cargo. It folds up for easy storage.
