If someone has factory crossbars installed, could you measure the dimension, front to back? Or if you don't have crossbars, could you measure the outter-most plugged holes for the crossbars? That should be close enough. With my Santa Fe, I had to pry the cargo box clamps around the bars because they were so far apart. My cargo box's clamps max reach is 38.5".

Thank you

I just installed my crossbars and measured the inner and outer lengths. Inside crossbar distance is ~28.75 inches and outer distance is ~34 inches. Each crossbar is ~2.5 inches wide.

I have a Thule Force XT XL and this distance should fit my cargo box.

Installed the cargo box tonight. Fitment is the exact same from the 3rd gen. Didn't have to move the locking mechanism inside the box. Tailgate is all the way up and box does not touch. About 1/2 cm clearance.

Sure, I'll oblige.
We just got back from an unexpected trip. Grabbed a couple pics from along the way. I didn't want to hog the steering wheel so I let my wife and 1 year old drive.

Gas mileage was pretty lackluster with the roof box. Average was about 19.5 mpg (80-ish) on the highways.

nice rack!! I will be putting a Thule on mine if I decide to get one. still deciding between grand highlander or pilot

the black touring is growing on me. I've been a white car guy but something about the flat look of the white paint is not great and the few bits of chrome look better with the darker exterior color.....
