Why this product

Why the Thule Motion 3 XL (Black Glossy)?

The Motion 3 XL in Black Glossy gives you 18 cu ft โ€” the sweet spot between the L and XXL. At 51 lbs with dual-side opening, PowerClick mount, and SlideLock security, it handles family road trips without being oversized for daily driving. The downside? Black Glossy shows every scratch and road film, and at 165 lb max load, the weight limit is the same as the smaller L model.
