To mount the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH6359B you will need to add a roof rack to your Escalade. It looks like the 2015 models came with flush mounted rails that run front to back. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - 59" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA150B-2

RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars - Qty 4 item # RRRCH4

Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC Fixed Mounting Points item # RRRCP43-BK

This roof rack will provide a platform that is compatible with the Thule Force XT XXL Cargo Box item # TH6359B. It has plenty of capacity and the included mounting brackets will have no issues attaching to the Rhino Rack crossbars.

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a picture, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Escalade.
