Force XT XXL
Just used this for a family trip and it’s perfect. I was able to install it on our 2023 Kia Telluride by myself. Was simple to install. Holds a ton of stuff. I’ve been recommending this to all my friends.

Good product
Good product and fit my VW Altas perfectly. Just little bit heavy, and need two people to put it on the car.

Great for a road trip
We use the Thule Force XT XL on our Toyota Sienna. This was wonderful for a road trip. We experienced a slight decrease of 1 MPG and minimal wind noise. We drove through rain and none of our luggage got wet. We were slightly skeptical because the plastic of the carrier seemed thin and flimsy. The carrier held up wonderful. I don't think we will ever take a road trip without it again. The carrier was easily lifted and attached to the factory roof racks on our Toyota Sienna.

Awesome Box
This is my 2nd Force Xt Sport. I loved my first on, so it was a no brainer to buy it again. I love that I can have this on my car plus, I can put my kayak on top right next to it and still open the box. Just wish my 186 cm skiis would fit but then I wouldn't be able to open my rear hatch on my Outback. Only 4 stars because of my 186 skiis not fitting.

Great for long road trips
We bought the Thule Force XT XXL for a 2024 Telluride. There were some shipping headaches outside of Thule's control: the first one arrived without a box, only wrapped in plastic, and was damaged enough that we refused shipment. The second one arrived in a beat-up cardboard box with zero padding, so it was scuffed a little bit from being tossed around, but the damage was minimal and not worth returning (for contrast, we also just got a RockyMounts bike rack and the packaging was a work of art and incredibly secure). As for the roof box: While huge, it fits the Telluride fine and is just what we wanted for longer trips so we have fewer things in the vehicle and more space for two large dogs. Note: The XXL is pretty cavernous and may be more than many people need for week-to-week use. The construction seems to be outstanding. The assembly and mounting is easy and intuitive. The overall execution is excellent. The box itself is fairly lightweight for the size, so it's manageable to get on and off with one strong person and easy to get off with two people. The reason I offer a 4/5 is twofold: The lock/key mechanism on either side seems a bit flimsy, although it works fine. Just thinking of repeated use. Second, the 'lid' of the box is so long, and is so lightweight, that it's pretty wobbly when you open it. Consequently, the front and rear of the lid seem prone to catch; one end or the other sort of gets caught on the base of the box and has to be shaken a bit to free it up. To mitigate that, I have to grab the lid with one hand pretty far toward the front and one hand pretty far toward the back, so the lid can be lifted evenly front-to-back. Not a huge deal at all, but that's also not easy to do from the ground. That aside, for such a large/long rooftop box, that may be the compromise one makes to have the volume of the XXL. The Thule rack on which it's mounted is also well-made, so we are happy with the entire package.
