Customers are mixed about the lock. Some mention that the fact you can open from both sides was very convenient, and the door can fully open.

Not cheap but will last for years. I chose the more expensive one because I wanted a higher quality locking mechanism. I never wanted to be on vacation with a lock that didn't work so figured spend a little more money.Only 12 inch tall so the alpine fits in the garage ( I have a big garage)

Performance wise, gas mileage only mildy got affected losing about 2-3MPG, not too bad considering! Just careful with parking garages as this does add significant height to your vehicle. Overall highly recommended, can’t go wrong with Thule!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thule Motion XT XXL Cargo Box Fits Honda Pilot Perfectly
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2022
I read many of the reviews about this product and it seemed that the biggest complaint revolved around shipping damage. When I received the box, it was carried into my garage by the delivery men and I inspected the box before accepting delivery. While there was some minor damage to the box, which I documented with my camera, it didn't appear to affect the Thule Cargo Box inside. I immediately opened the box and unpacked the contents. There were 2 keys and a package with the PowerClick mounting system and several straps for securing skis. I tested the open and close function on both sides of the box and it worked well with no hinge problems. Next I loaded the box onto my 2021 Honda Pilot. I secured the box to the factory cross bars and it fit as if made for my vehicle. It's easy to install and would be manageable alone if not for the bulk which makes it hard to get a grip for lifting. There was plenty of clearance for the rear door to swing up and the box does not protrude over the windshield. I drove around for several weeks with the empty box on top of the vehicle and did not notice any problems or noise even at speed (70 mph) despite having no load in the box. Mileage decreased a few miles per gallon and the box is now in my garage waiting for a trip. I gave this box a 5 star rating because it is stable, quiet, easy to install and has plenty of room. I don't have buyers remorse for getting the biggest cargo box around. I think I'm going to love this Thule for many years. You will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars XXL version - Expensive, but worth every penny!
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2022
Expensive, but worth every penny. Purchased the Thule Motion XT XXL glossy version for my 2022 Hyundai Palisade. Looks awesome on my vehicle. Was surprised how big it is - look at the pictures I included. (Note: We have it stored in our garage when not in use.)

Very easy to install, all items needed for installation are included. Just need help loading it on top of vehicle, but after that it only takes 5-10 minutes to secure it properly by myself.

Fits three of our large suitcases with no problem. It’s great that you can open it from both sides. Have used it on two trips already (a 2,000 mile round trip and a 600 mile round trip). Was able to go 75 mph on very windy highways - was so impressed how quiet it is, almost forgot I had it on my vehicle. We went through several dust storms during these trips and noticed the cargo box only had light scratches - can’t really see them unless you are right in front of it. Overall, gas consumption went down only 1 mpg.

Highly recommended, I wish I would have purchased it earlier. FYI - I read reviews about the cargo box being damaged during shipment, the cardboard box was damaged, but I carefully inspected the cargo box and it has no damaged.

Lastly, register it as soon as you receive it for warranty purposes. The serial number is in stickers inside of the cargo box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, alot of cargo space, great for long road trips
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2022
Update after received replacement:
Just finished a 3000 miles road trip, the cargo box was very stable in highway speed, and didn't impact driving at all, however it did impact mileage by 1-2 mpg as expected. The box provided alot of cargo space, protected very well under heavy rain when parked and driving. You need to be gentle when opening and closing the top cover as the plastic material is flexible that if force applied, it could bent and potentially break.

-----------------------------------------------

Arrived today and installed immediately, the thule box looks great and the installation was a breeze, very well designed. I inspected the box before putting it up, but I guess I missed a small crack in the top cover edge left to the lock area, and while installing the box, opening and closing the cover further damaged it. This is what I was afraid of, without this issue, this would’ve been a great purchase. I don’t think the crack was from the delivery, but rather the plastic edge of the cover had a sharp crack came from the manufacture. Called Thule warranty, they stated if it's within 30 days within the purchase, Amazon would handle the issue, then called Amazon customer service and worked out another new one for replacement. Overall experience with the purchase was great, just hope the replacement comes clean and don’t have to deal with the issue again.

J'ai reçu le tout sans bris et utilisé le lendemain pour un petit road trip de 600km sur un Subaru Outback. Moins de 5 min à fixer sur le toit et les bruits de turbulences au vent se font sentir (un peu) au delà des 110km/h.
