Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2024 Kia Telluride- Video

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2024 Kia Telluride

Hi, Matt with Etrailer, and today we're talking about the Thule XT Motion roof box on top of our 2024 Kia Telluride. Now, this is gonna be especially a great option for you because this is a really big roof box, and this is gonna offer you a lot of storage, especially since the Kia doesn't, or the Kia Telluride doesn't have a whole lot of space in the back, because really you're gonna have room for people sitting in the back, and then that very back hatch area is only gonna be maybe a foot or two of space. So if you do plan on taking any longer trips, this is gonna be a great way to carry your gear or luggage from point A to point B. Today we're really just gonna be talking about how this is gonna look on top of your vehicle and how it's gonna interact with either your hatch or just in general using it. Now, we will talk a little bit about the specs and at the very end I'm gonna give a comparison just to some other options out there. But to begin with, I'm gonna talk about how we're gonna use it. more

Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2022 Kia Sorento- Video

Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2022 Kia Sorento

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Yakima 16 Cubic Foot SkyBox NX on our 2022 Kia Sorento. Adding a cargo box is the solution to the problem of how are you gonna be able to increase your cargo area if you have a full house on the inside of the vehicle. So if your Sorento has the third row like this model here, you know with that back row flipped up, you have practically no cargo area and this is gonna allow you to compensate for that, 'cause otherwise your roof would be bare and it doesn't have any space so you're making use of some useless area. The standout feature on the SkyBox NX is the nano finish that is scratch resistant and also pretty sharp looking on top of your vehicle. It's built to basically conceal any scratches or abrasions that may come up on the surface. The box itself is pretty large. more

Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box Installation - 2024 Kia Telluride

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 rooftop box and seeing how it fits on the top of our 2024 Kia Telluride. So the NX 16 is a 16 cubic foot roof box and offer a pretty good amount of storage for the top of your Telluride. Now as we're looking at this, just keep in mind that there is a larger version available, an 18 cubic foot version of this box. So if you like the way it looks and the way it functions, but you need more space, that 18 cubic foot version would be a good fit for the Telluride too. But a roof box is a great way to add storage to your vehicle, whether the back is full of passengers and you need somewhere to put their stuff, or maybe you just have some messier stuff that you want to keep out of the vehicle. more

Yakima CBX Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2023 Kia Seltos

Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, I have the Yakima CBX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box, and we're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2023 Kia Seltos. For your Seltos, if you want a little bit more cargo capacity, maybe you're going on a long trip, you have your friends in your car, but you also have maxed out the space in the hatch, well, you can get a rooftop cargo box to help out with that. It's gonna be an enclosed cargo carrier, which means it protects your cargo from the outside elements. And with this fitting on the Seltos, I do have the 18 cubic feet box, it actually does fit, meaning you can still open up your hatch and it doesn't cover up your window. So let's take a look at some other unique things and how this fits this car. Double check what type of roof rack you have, and if you don't have one, you can find a custom fit one here at etrailer like our Thule aero roof rack that I have here. more

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we'll be taking a look at the Malone Cargo 16 Rooftop Cargo Box right here on our 2017 Kia Forte5. Your Forte5 is a cute little hatchback with a lot of soul. It can do a lot of stuff and get those good speeds, but did you know you can also get a roof rack and even a roof box on it My friend here owns this car, and he and his wife went out camping, and he was saying it would've been nice if they had a rooftop cargo box for their extra gear. So this is probably the maximum size I would recommend for the Forte5. You can see where I position it just enough where it just hits the antenna, but we still have space to open up our hatch. There's definitely a clearance right over there, you may have to fit around or play around with your fit to get that clearance, but now, your hatch is open for your larger, heavier, bulkier items. more
