Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2014 Ford Escape- Video
Today on our 2014 Ford Escape we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Rocketbox Pro 11, a rooftop cargo box with 11 cubic feet of storage space in black. It's part number Y07193. With our Yakima rail grab roof rack system already installed on the Escape, we're going to begin our test fit by placing our Rocketbox directly onto our crossbars. We're going to slide it back, and while we do this we'll make sure that all 4 lower halves of our clamps go around the underside of our crossbars. We'll then open the passenger side of the box. We will reach inside and tighten the 2 red T-handles located closest to us. One of the great features of the Rocketbox Pro 11 is its ability to open from the passenger and the driver side. more

Thule Force Medium Rooftop Cargo Box Review - 2014 Ford Escape- Video
Today on our 2014 Ford Escape, we'll be test fitting the Thule Force Medium Rooftop Cargo Box, measuring 13 cubic feet in AeroSkin Black, part number TH624. With the Thule rapid-traversed roof rack system on our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing our box directly onto our load bars. Now with the feet hanging out of the bottom of the box, we can adjust them as necessary to fit around each bar. Once we have the box situated the way we like, we'll move the key to the unlock position and push up on the lid to open the passenger side of the box. We'll use the two hand-knobs on this side of the box to tighten our two feet around our load bars. One of the great features of the Thule Force is it's ability to open from either side of the box. We'll move to the driver's side, open the box, and tighten down the two remaining feet using the hand-knobs. With all four feet tight, our box is secured and we're ready to go. Here at the rear, you can see that we have plenty of room between the back of our box and our antenna, which is also going to allow us to have full access to our rear hatch door. That concludes today test fit of the Thule Force Medium Rooftop Cargo Box, part number TH624, on our 2014 Ford Escape. more
