We already had the Skybox Pro 16 so I just stuck with it. The only issue I had were the stock crossbars and clearance between them and the roof. Got some Thule crossbars that mount perfect and give it some height, works perfectly. Considering a different rack on top but no issues for now.

So stupid to put the roof rack so close to the top of the car.
That was an enhancement to reduce wind noise and make a major improvement on gas mileage. Would have fit my 2011 Trail no problem. 2020 ORP OEM bars are lower so you have to purchase aftermarket bars.

So Skybox 21 will not clear the trunk door unless you modify/drill, correct?

I am also in the market to get a skybox, and I think from reading all the threads, the max size is Skybox 16 before you need to do some custom work to make it fit from hitting the trunk spoiler/door right?

Big, bigger, biggest
I've had this gigantor Packasport for years and moved it over to various vehicles. Originally a Suburban, then to a '04 Pilot, now on to the 4Runner for the last 4 years. It sits up on Thule crossbars and I had to drill new holes in the Packasport to move it forward to clear the spoiler. I like the look of a roof basket, but this thing just swallows up bulky gear in a much more aerodynamic form and has advantage of being lockable.

Lose the Skybox...
...and get thee a set of Rago Fabrication molle panels and shelf for the rear fo the truck.

I do a lot of road trips with my wife and two sons. We used to have a Skybox 16 on top for all the camping gear. Now that I have the Rago shelf I can fit all of our camping gear, food, luggage and fridge in the rear cargo area. 2 bikes on the top of the truck and two on the rear rack. Only gets a little tight when we have to haul firewood but that's usually only a little ways each time we camp.

First pic is with the box and 2nd is the rago setup. Not very organized in this particular shot but it works. There is SO much more space back there when you have the shelf. Good luck!

Just depends on the diameter of the crossbars. My rack is an LFD OffRoad one and the bars are pretty hefty and the Yakima grabs it fine. I'd be very surprised if the mechanism to attach the box to the crossbars wouldn't fit with any modern rack but YMMV.
