Will The Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Onto 2021 Honda Odyssey Factory Crossbars?
Question:
Hi, I want to be sure the Thule Force XT XL or XXL will work with my 2021 Honda Odyssey’s factory crossbars. I want to be sure it can properly attach and that it won’t impede the rear tailgate from opening. Thank you

I looked up some photos of the 2021 Honda Odyssey's factory crossbar setup and it looks like it can accommodate the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black AeroSkin # TH6359B, but the only definite way to know is for you to take some measurements. Thule says that this cargo box can fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall. If your crossbars are less than both of these measurements then you will be able to use this cargo box along with many other Thule cargo boxes as they typically have the same requirements, but not always.
If you measure your crossbars and they are either wider than 3-1/2" or taller than 1-11/16" then you will need an aftermarket crossbar setup. In that case, I would go with Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long # MPG216 which is a very affordable yet effective option. It features the common T-slot top channel for channel-mounted accessories. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
