Does Thule Motion XT XXL Titan Cargo Box Fit 2015 Ford C-Max With Rhino-Rack Roof Rack?

Question:

Does the Thule Motion XT XXL Titan Cargo Box 22 cu.ft. fit a 2015 Ford CMax Energi with Rhino Rack Vortex cross bars? Main concern is the length and being able to open the hatchback. Thank you

The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Titan Glossy # TH629907 will have no problem fitting onto the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars. The complete roof rack for your 2015 Ford C-Max includes the following:
-Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 54" # RRVA137B-2
-Legs # RRRLKVA
-Fit Kit # DK357

To make sure the Thule cargo box does not interfere with opening the hatchback, measure from the center of the front crossbar all the way back to the line where the hatch meets the roof. If this measurement is more than 55" then it will work just fine. If you don't have the Rhino-Rack crossbars installed yet then measure about 6.3" forward from the side pillar (see photo). This will be the location of the front crossbar, which you can then measure from here to the line where the hatch and roof meet to verify if you have at least 55". I attached demonstration videos for you.
