What Is The Best Low Profile Cargo Box For My 2023 Infiniti Qx60?

Question:

2023 Infiniti QX60 - have never had or used one, but am looking for the sleekest rooftop carrier probably thule, yakima, or similar to go on Infiniti factory rails and still fit into standard 2-car garage.

I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. In my personal experience, the sleekest, best looking cargo box is the Thule Motion XT in the gloss black. Low profile, aerodynamic design will minimize drag and road noise. Low profile will also be advantageous if you want to keep the box installed when you pull into your garage.

For example, the Thule Motion XT 16 cubic foot # TH629506 measures 13-1/4" tall. According to the online owners manual for 2023 QX60, the vehicle should be about 70" tall. If we add another 4 or so inches for the factory roof rack, and another 13" for the box we should be around 88" total height. Most 2 car garages should be around 8' tall so I would imagine this setup would work out nicely.

The Thule Motion # TH629506 will work with factory crossbars as long as we have a crossbar spread between 23-5/8" and 36-7/8" apart. Also, for the hatch to fully open with the box installed, there needs to be at least 55" between the front crossbar, and the line where the roof and hatch meet.

I have included links to a few videos on this cargo box if you want to take a look.
