Best Thule Roof Boxes for the Ford Everest
Looking for a Thule roof box for your Ford Everest? A roof box is a practical way to add secure storage for road trips, ski gear, camping gear, family holidays or bulky gear that fills the boot too quickly.
The Ford Everest is a capable family SUV, but longer road trips, camping weekends, ski trips and full-car holidays can still fill the boot quickly. A roof box adds secure storage above the vehicle for bags, jackets, snow gear and bulky outdoor items while keeping the cabin clearer and easier to use.
For most Ford Everest owners, a Large, XL or XXL roof box is a good place to start.
Roof box fitment notes for the Ford Everest
The Ford Everest is a large family SUV with plenty of roof length, so Large, XL and XXL Thule roof boxes are all realistic options. These sizes work well for family luggage, ski gear, camping gear and bulky winter items that quickly fill the boot.
Because the Everest is often used for holidays, towing trips, ski missions and outdoor travel, a larger roof box can be a practical upgrade. Hatch clearance is still worth checking, as final fit depends on the roof rack position and exact roof box model.

What size roof box suits the Ford Everest?

How much roof box space do you need?
Roof box size quick guide
Small roof boxes
Best for smaller vehicles, weekend trips and compact luggage loads where you want extra storage without making the vehicle feel oversized.
Medium roof boxes
A good all-round option for many wagons, SUVs and family vehicles. Medium boxes are useful for travel bags, snow gear and day-to-day holiday gear.
Sport roof boxes
A narrower style that sits to one side of your roof racks, leaving room beside it for other gear like bikes, kayaks or ski carriers.
Large roof boxes
A good all-round size for luggage, camping gear, winter sports or family trips. Great for snowboards, skis up to 175cm, prams, soft bags and bulky but lighter gear.
XL and XXL roof boxes
Better suited to larger SUVs, utes and vehicles used for ski trips, camping or family holidays where boot space disappears quickly.
Low roof boxes
A sleeker variant that sits lower on the car. This can help with aerodynamics and keeps the overall vehicle height down, especially useful for low-clearance garages.

Fitment notes
One thing to watch on the Ford Everest is roof box clearance over lower-profile roof racks. Some flush-style or low-profile bars, including setups like Thule WingBar Edge, can sit close enough to the roof that the standard roof box clamps may foul on the vehicle. In that case, a T-bolt adapter may be needed so the box mounts cleanly into the roof rack channel rather than clamping underneath the bar.

Thule Force 3 Roof Box
The Thule Force 3 is a good option if you want useful storage, simpler styling and a more value-focused choice than the Motion 3 range. Its AeroSkin finish is durable, hard-wearing and well suited to regular use.
Thule Vector Roof Box
The Thule Vector is the premium option. It has a lower-profile shape and suits drivers who want a cleaner, more refined roof box setup.
Will a roof box affect fuel use?
Any roof box will add some drag, so fuel use can increase a little. Shape and size both matter. A lower-profile box will usually be quieter and more efficient on the open road than a taller, bulkier option. The trick is choosing enough space for your gear without going bigger than you need.
