Thule Motion 3 XL Low Cargo Box – Low-Profile, Aerodynamic Roof Storage

The Thule Motion 3 XL Low delivers sleek, low-profile capacity with premium convenience for year-round travel. With dual-side opening, secure SlideLock latches, and the tool-free PowerClick mount, this box is built for quiet highway miles, tight garages, and confident all-weather performance across Canada.

Its reduced height keeps drag and wind noise in check while improving garage, parkade and rack clearance. Forward box placement helps rear-hatch clearance on many vehicles, and glove-friendly handles make opening and closing easy in the cold.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Profile: Low-height design for better clearance in garages and urban parking
  • Opening: Dual-side lid access with SlideLock security and closure indicator
  • Mounting: PowerClick quick-mount with built-in torque “click” for a secure fit
  • Load Capacity: up to 165 lb (follow vehicle/rack limits; use lowest rating)
  • Rack Fit: Works with most aero, square, round and factory crossbars within Thule bar-spread guidance
  • Use Case: Skis/boards, duffels and travel kits where lower height is an advantage
  • Model: Thule Motion 3 XL Low

Thule Motion 3 XL Low – Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the advantage of the “Low” profile?
Reduced height improves garage and parkade clearance, while keeping wind noise and drag in check for daily driving.
Is it easy to install and remove?
Yes. The PowerClick quick-mount “clicks” when tight, so you know it’s secure. Two people recommended for lifting on/off.
Can I open it from both sides?
Yes. It features dual-side opening with the SlideLock system that indicates secure closure.
Will the rear hatch clear?
On many vehicles, yes. The Motion 3 forward position improves hatch clearance—always check your rack/vehicle combo.
What’s the maximum load?
Up to 165 lb, but never exceed the load limits of your vehicle or roof rack system (use the lowest rating).
What crossbars will it fit?
Works with most aero, square, round and factory crossbars within Thule’s recommended bar-spread. Verify fit before purchase.

Excellent experience!! We called the store and they answered right away, which was awesome. Ordered a Thule bike rack. The gal on phone said she would ordered it and it came the next day which was a pleasant surprise. Staff was professional and friendly! They will be getting all of our business going forward!
