Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had no concept of how long this box was when I bought it. To give you an idea of how large this box is, it is as long as a twin bed and almost as wide. My roommate thought it was some sort of coffin when she saw it sitting on my bed. I bought this box because it was on sale and I was looking for a cargo box to carry skis/poles/boots or paintball equipment. This was overkill for what I needed. (Though probably still the cheapest option at the time.)
Anywho, I own a 2002 Volvo V70XC and this box, though large, works fine. There is a slight overhang in the front to compensate for the clearance for the rear hatch, but nothing that compromises visibility. The only thing that is not so great is that it does not have any sort of quick release clamp system. It has the usual bolt/plate/nut getup. However, my boyfriend and I still installed it with minimal stress in 45 minutes. Our strategy was to pull the cross bars off of the car, attach them to the box (hand tight) and then lift the whole business onto the factory rails and adjust from there. It worked out great. No tools are needed for the installation aside from what they ship with the box.
I would recommend this box for anyone who needs to double their car capacity (by volume), but not for the average camper/skiier. It is a huuuuuuge box, and probably not worth the hassle if all you're packing is a few pairs of skis or some sleeping bags and a tent.
