The Reviews

The Thule Excursion ES Rooftop Cargo Box was reviewed by 24 different customers. It had above average reviews and a lot of positive comments. Out of a possible 5 stars, the 667ES received 4 and a half. Though the product got good reviews overall, it seems that some felt the installation was quite easy while others felt it was a little challenging. The ones that found it easy to install said that it was light weight, yet durable. The directions that come with the package are easy to follow and very thorough. There are also pictures for those that don’t always like to read. This person that found it easy to install had help. Maybe an extra set of hands is all that is needed.

The cargo box does what it says and that is carry a lot of stuff. Several reviewers had admitted packing it to its limit and reported nothing but praise for the product. One reviewer had packed 4 duffle bags. Another had packed 4 regular duffle bags as well, two razor scooters, blankets, a bag of cleaning supplies and a bag of stuff for a pool. That’s a lot of stuff. The locks help to secure everything, especially when the cargo box is fully loaded.

Many didn’t only like the fact that it provided enough space, but it also kept their things dry and secure. There is a little strap inside the box that will allow you to secure things within. One person did mention that there are rubber dots within the box. They are used to cover up the remaining holes. If you forget to install this, you may open the box to find your things soaked. Do not forget this.

The Reviews

The Yakima RocketBox 15 Cargo Box was reviewed by 16 different customers. Even though not too many people gave reviews, the ones that did, gave above average reviews. It received 4 and a half stars out of a possible 5 star rating system. Several had commented that it was easy to install and said that it did not shift when driving on the highway. This same commenter also liked the fact that it was very easy to clean off the bugs, especially from a long drive.

Many agree that it does hold a lot of gear, but even though it can hold a lot of things, you should always be weary of the weight capacity. It does fit perfectly on the roof of any car, unlike many other cargo boxes available on the market, it is not as long. It has a nice design, shape wise and it is very aerodynamic. If you have a sedan or hatch back, you do not have to worry about the end of the box hitting the trunk.

Though, many have said, it is easy to install, it may still require two pairs of hands to install. Some have said that after how many miles of driving with the Rocketbox, it still has no effects of wear. There is little or no noise that can be heard. To demonstrate the capacity of the cargo box, one reviewer had said that he was able to fit in a set of golf clubs and several duffle bags.

Load is distributed evenly because of the wide design. With the narrow boxes, the nose and the tail of the box has a possibility of extending out past either the windshield or the rear window. The only disadvantage to having a wider box is that you can’t mount a lot of other objects like skis and bikes. The floor is not flat and you may need to add something like a couple of mats. Some reviewers suggested using Armor-All or something similar to protect the box from possible UV because over time it can weaken the plastic.
