New to MDX forum: 2017 Advance w/ Thule Force XT L
Hello Fellas...we recently sold our 2008 Highlander and switched over to a 2017 MDX. We used a tow hitch cargo carrier on the Highlander and wanted to switch to a roof rack cargo box. I really wanted a white INNO Wedge 665 box but I found a great deal on this Thule Force XT L on OfferUp which I couldn't pass up. I tested fitted it this morning on my OEM style factory cross bars from ebay and the fit was great. I figured I'd share...enjoy!
Last pic of the Highlander before we sold it...gave us a solid 10+ years but it was getting up there on the miles...

I realize your post is a couple years old, but hoping for some feedback on the Thule Force XT L. How has been coming along in terms of build quality, problems, highway noise, etc? Also, have you done anything to mitigate the tailgate coming in contact with the box?
Thx.
We have a 2020 MDX and got a Yakima Skybox 18 Carbonite (I have long skis). It fits on the rack (barely), but has an extreme upward angle (similar to this) which I assume is creating a lot of drag, and we can't fully open the gate (had to turn off auto gate function and do it manually). I'm going to attempt a box hack to fix this, possibly this weekend, and will create a thread on it. Honestly, the roof rack for the MDX is super disappointing...
