I've come across a few discussions about max cargo boxes, hitting the rear hitch (which doesn't have adjustable height/stop-position...) so I'm a bit overwhelmed combined with tons of random used options. I've also heard the OEM crossbars can flex, and it can be difficult to secure boxes to them without risk of hitting roof (it seems weird what on earth is the point of OEM bars then?)
So, yeah... any advice for a cargo box with acceptable storage to throw random items and skis in winter? Or how to actually go about selecting a box myself and knowing what to look for/avoid?

This subject comes up a lot, so rather than post some pictures you are welcome to go into my album page and look at how the Yakima 16 box fits
