Recommended Roof Rack and Rooftop Cargo Box for 2014 Honda Odyssey

Question:

Hi Guys - Id like to install a cargo box on our 2014 Honda Odyssey to throw camping gear in. Weve got a large family so space is a premium, so I was looking at the larger boxes. Our Odyssey does not currently have side rails installed. Can you recommend good cross-bar and cargo box options for our family? Im more concerned with quality, features, and longevity than cost. Two products I was keying in on are: https://www.etrailer.com/multi-product.aspx?pc1=RRVA137B-2andpc2=RRRLT600andpc3=RRRTV128andpc4=RRQMVA05andpc5=RRQMVA05andvehicleid=20141524643andhhmake=Hondaandhhmodel=Odysseyandhunter=roofandroofkit=BK_1,SKI_1,C_3V4,BAG_1,BSK_4andmanuf=RHINO and https://www.etrailer.com/Roof-Box/Thule/TH6298B.html Any help would be appreciated!

For your 2014 Honda Odyssey without any factory rails, I recommend the Rhino Rack system consisting of the following:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long # RRVA137B-2
Quick Mount Legs - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600
RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 50" Long # RRRTV128
Leg Spacer Blocks # RRQMVA05

This is a great quality system that will give you adjustability and a load capacity of 165 lbs. This roof rack will work very well with the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629806 you referenced. This is a very nice roof box that is easy to install, has a great amount of space with the interior dimensions of 79" long x 31-1/2" wide x 15" tall, and weighs 46 lbs.

This combination is what I recommend as a best quality and feature combination, so your research aligns perfectly with my recommendations.
