Will Thule Force XT XXL Cargo Box TH6359B Fit 2023 Toyota Highlander XSE Factory Crossbars

Question

Question:

I have a 2023 Toyota Highlander xse with factory crossbars. Will the Thule xxl fit and allow the hatch to open fully? The measurements tell me it will not but it seems to be fitting older highlander models according to a video and other questions answered here.

The Thule Force XT XXL part # TH6359B does fit the factory crossbars of your 2023 Toyota Highlander XSE. It sounds like you already took the front clearance measurement to determine if it will allow your rear hatch to open as well. As long as the distance from the front crossbar center back to the rear hatch seam is at least 54-3/4 inches the hatch will open without any problems. For as long of a vehicle as you have it is not surprising that you do have the hatch clearance needed.
