Does Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Yakima Roof Rack on 2023 Acura MDX

Question

Question:

Greetings. I currently have a Thule Force XT XL with a Thule roof rack that I installed on my 2015 Acura MDX. I plan to replace that vehicle with a 2023 Acura MDX. Based on your fitting guide it appears Yakima racks only are recommended for this vehicle and no Thule racks appear to be an option. Will the Thule Force XT XL mount easily on the Yakima rack?

Yes, the Thule Force XT XL # TH6358B will fit very easily on the Yakima roof rack for your 2023 Acura MDX. There won't be any issues with the fit of your cargo box on this rack it will fit perfectly so you can continue to use it. The only thing you need to do is pick the right Yakima rack for your '23 MDX, depending on if it has a bare roof or flush-mounted rails.

Bare Roof
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00429 or Black # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06163 & # Y06178

Flush-Mounted Rails
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00428 or Black # Y00425
- SightLine Towers # Y64AR
- SightClip Fit Kit # Y49AR

Then to lock either rack to your MDX you just need the SKS Lock Cores # Y07204.
