Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The construction seems durable, the unit is easy to open and close plus the locking feature is wonderful. The locking mechanism is so much sturdier than the thule box we looked at.

The yakima skybox is the way to go. Just make sure to be thorough. A fantastic product. Technically speaking, the guide is correct.

Our factory bars are adjustable. Attaching it to rather large cross bars was quite easy and required no tools.

Fit on top of our toyota sienna perfectly - with some adjusting to the mounts on the box, we have full clearance for the back hatch of our van to open all the way. Fits mitsubishi outlander. For some reason the yakima website says this won't fit on th...  Read More



Cons

Box came in used/damaged condition (cosmetically) method of attachment is archaic. This is a defective product that poses a great risk of injury and loss.

The hatchback cannot be raised while this cargo box is attached to the top. The 2014 mdx factory crossbars cannot be moved forward (or backward) however, this only indicates that the rack will support the weight of the cargo box when full, not that th...  Read More

Solid quality, easy to mount and lock.

Mounted properly this unit made very little sound and on a 1200 mike trip we only dropped from 31 mpg to 28.


Luckily, this cargo pod is virtually water proof (i think the only way water could get in is if you submerge the thing), and ab...  Read More

Price


This pod is really expensive, admittedly, but all told, it's worth every penny, especially after the gauntlet we ran it through.


The price was right and i’m pleased with the purchase.


We spent $429 on the skybox 16 classic before tax.


It’s expensive, so hopefully it stands up over time.

Shipping


Delivered on time and was just what we needed for our road trip.


First of all, amazon delivery is very fast and reliable.


I ordered this very last minutes, and the cargo box was delivered right no time for my long road trip.


Very poor shipping and communication from xpo and i'll never purchase anything that is shipped through them again.

Packaging/appearance


We have two children (a 4 year old and a 1 year old) i was able to put the double stroller and the pack n play up there and sti...  Read More


Ordered the carbonite 12 box and it fits great on a 2019 toyota highlander.


There was absolutely no way we would have been able to pack in everything without the yakima skybox.


If the box is already letting water in, i figured anything that i did would help the situation; not make it worse.

Competitiveness


I settled on the yakima versus the thule because i had read some discouraging reviews about the thule letting water into the box.


Looked at other models and though some cost less this was worth the extra cost.
