You're the only one who actually showed the rack being lifted onto the car. Thx.

What’s the biggest/most spacious cargo box ?

[@762-m9b]

But the Yakima is not appealing.

The most surprising thing about this video, is that you think all apartments and malls use parking garages rather than parking lots. I guess you have only ever lived in very densely populated areas? I grew up in a suburb of NYC, and have lived in the Boston area suburbs for almost 50 years. Except in the city proper, most of the apartments and malls I've frequented, had parking lots with clearance the height of electrical wires on telephone poles.
Admittedly, work and play both took me into the city proper, where parking garages without infinite clearance, are a thing.

I hear the quality of these boxes has gone way down hill the last 20 years because they are all made cheaply and thinly in Asia. While the prices have gone way up! I am trying to find an old one made in the USA or the much stronger fiberglass boxes. Also, aren’t the rear loading ones more safe against wind blowouts since the hinge is on the front and lock on the rear🤔

[@Cristian-uf3qn]

Are any of these dust proof?

[@bubbalo3388]

The Thule's look sleek and nice, but they have the sloping front end that starts pretty far back which would limit the size of cargo you are able to get in there in regards to height.

the grand tour 16 is sleek and thinner then others. looks great

[@drange4241]

Wish one Thule video showed some standard luggage items inside. Would love to know how many carry-on or full sized suitcases fit.

I'm trying to understand a bit more about the mounting systems. Could you please elaborate why do you like the Yakima mounting system vs the Thule mounting system?

[@shantiwilliams6850]

Super insightful for a newbie cargo person 🙏🙏

[@Nostromo_1]

Thule is much easier and quicker to mount. Also Thule are premium boxes and look way better.

[@TheOREGON1859]

Sound a little biased. Lol

[@ccsocal768]

Really😂😂😂. I think the Yakima look better and have the easier mounting system.

[@helenalovelock1030]

Is it a good idea to buy steps ?

[@donclifford7017]

So all your best roof racks are all the ones sold at REI?

[@davidnicoll9140]

Great video
