Do You Recommend the Thule Motion XT XL or the Thule Motion XT XXL for My 2021 Nissan Rogue?
Question:
Thanks Bob. My roof is naked. Also I noticed you dont carry Thule roof racks. I was looking at Thule wingbar evo. If you dont carry those, will yakima jetstream work with my Thule motion xt xl?

In order to determine the compatibility of either the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 or the Thule Motion XT XXL # TH629906, it truly depends on if you have a bare roof, raised rails, or a factory roof rack currently installed. The reason why this matters is because not only do crossbars come with different heights and widths, but your roof has different available length based on what roof setup you have. The roof setup is important in determining if you can fully open the rear hatch of your 2021 Nissan Rogue with the box mounted.
With that being said, you will have enough length for the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 to fully open the rear hatch on your vehicle with any whether you have a bare roof, raised rails, or a factory roof rack. However, depending on if you have crossbars installed, I recommend you measure the height and width of your crossbars. As long as your crossbars do not exceed 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-11/16 inches tall, the box will be able to clamp around the bars.
If you are considering the Thule Motion XT XXL # TH629906, while it also fits crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-11/16 inches tall, you are limited with roof length depending on what roof style you have.
In order to confirm for sure if you can mount the Thule Motion XT XXL or if you need recommendations for a roof rack system that works with either box, feel free to respond to this answer with what roof type you have, and I will be happy to assist you further.
