Thank you for such a clear and informative review. This is the right box for our needs.

Thanks so much. Thanks to your review, I know this is the right one for me!

great review ... the only thing that I wonder is the fuel economy. I just got our motion xl (not the xxl) last week and i've noticed a hit to my fuel economy. Not huuuuge but I think it's there. I have a Telluride so almost identical to your Palisade. Not a biggie deal because it is what it is, you put a box on top of your vehicle to do the job of carrying extra crap, you're going to take a hit to your profile. I'm just thinking I should have gotten the xxl in the first place but the xl came in a special edition "matte" finish from my local rackattack and it looks pretty nice compared to the shine of the gloss.

I just got the 24 palisade and this is an awesome review! Can you use the stock crossbars with this XXL?

Yes stock crossbars work with it

Are you sure this is the XXL on your vehicle? It doesn't look nearly as big as the 91" if so.

yes this is 100% XXL

Thanks for the video. Question, hows the longitivity on these? I just ordered the Motion XT L... i havent received it yet but i see people mentioning the finish scratching super easy and others saying stuff about rock chips and cracking... however, i havent found one video to show what these look like after some wear... all of the videos are of people installing them brand new...

Fundamentally they're good. A lot of the spare parts (like the spring arms) are easy to source. The shell will scratch but that's just the way it goes. The Force models have a dimpled matte texture if that matters to you. All shells on roof boxes are fundamentally 'weak' because they need to be large and light. I do know that, if it does crack, they are easy to patch on the inside. Just FYI, Thule's are generally overpriced by 20% at least so either find a used one or wait for a sale.

Can you put 7 carry on sized suit cases in it?

I haven’t tried, but if I had to guess, I would say yes.
