Easy and fast to install, loads of space, free shipping best deal around
By Absolute_HD
Well worth it for the extra space or skis and boards. Out-of-the box had it on my Nissan Pathfinder in 5 minutes, great latching design. My guess is that it will fit almost all autos with cross bar roof racks. Loads of space, does seem a but long, the 1600 is a bit shorter and might look more proportional to my Pathifinder, this 1700 is probably best for the Tahoes, Escalades, and Yukons out there. In any case, awesome product, and Amazon has the best price and arrived (via some shipping company, not UPS) in about three days, pretty fast. No shipping issues for me.

No brainer!
By Ryan Jette
This cargo box provides everything you need for a summer vacation. Space, lightweight, portable, durability, easy locking, and easy to attach to the roof.
I have mine on a Chrysler Town and County and it fits perfectly. You will need to pay special attention to the rear gate. But, once you open the gate all the way, you can adjust.
The top lid is a little lighter than expected so closing can be tricky. Once you get it down and understand that the two locking mechanisms need to be free and clear, its easy.

happy camper
By Margaret Thomas
The cargo box was delivered several days earlier than expected. It was super easy to install. If you plan to install one of these, first measure the distance between your cross bars before you hoist the cargo box to the top of the vehicle. The mounting hardware inside the cargo box does adjust a little bit, but you may need to reposition your own cross bars first, as I did. Aside from that, super easy installation, was ready to use within 15 minutes. Don't try to go through an automatic carwash with one of these on your rig or you may be sorry! (I didn't, but met someone who forgot theirs was atop their vehicle and was told it ripped the darn thing off along with their cross bar. Not good!). The locking mechanism to the cross bars works well and the cargo box is easy to open, close and lock. I suggest you mount it to one side or the other on the top of your vehicle and not in the center position for ease of loading/unloading. No problems, no complaints, am happil y satisfied with this purchase.
