Yakima SkyBox NX XL – The Ultimate High-Capacity Adventure Hub (SKU: 8007370)

Elevate Your Journey with 18 Cubic Feet of Freedom

The Yakima SkyBox NX XL (formerly known as the SkyBox NX 18) is the powerhouse of the NX family, designed for those who refuse to leave anything behind. With a massive 18 cubic feet of storage capacity, this cargo box is the “Family Favorite,” providing ample room for the gear of up to four campers. Whether you are packing bulky sleeping bags for a winter trip or transporting long skis up to 195cm, the NX XL offers the vertical and horizontal clearance needed for heavy-duty hauling.

This model features the signature NX nano-texture finish, which gives the box a sleek, matte-black aesthetic that complements modern vehicle designs. More than just a style choice, this textured surface is highly scratch-resistantand aerodynamic, helping to minimize the wind noise and fuel efficiency drop often associated with large rooftop carriers.

Unobstructed Storage & Intelligent Design

The SkyBox NX XL distinguishes itself with a completely flat-bottom interior. Unlike older cargo box designs that have bulky internal hardware housings, Yakima has flattened the floor to ensure every inch of the 18 cubic feet is usable. This is a game-changer when loading flat items like snowboards or organizing local market finds like the heavy glass-jarred goods you plan to pick up in North Carolina.

• Dual-Sided Access: No matter where you park, you can reach your gear. The box opens from both the driver and passenger sides, featuring internal lid stiffeners that provide a rigid, high-end feel during operation.

• Torque-Limiting Quick-Mounts: The mounting hardware is designed for speed and safety. The included torque-limiting knob clicks when the box is perfectly tightened to your crossbars, and the knob can be removed entirely once the box is secure to further clear the interior floor.

• SKS Security: Your investment is protected by Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS). The full-metal locking handles ensure the lid is fastened to the base at three separate points, and the key cannot be removed unless the box is fully closed and locked.

Optimized Hatch Clearance

Despite its “Extra Large” footprint, the SkyBox NX XL is engineered for market-leading hatch clearance. The mounting tracks allow the box to slide forward on your crossbars, and the rear of the box is specifically tapered to avoid contact with the rear hatch of SUVs and wagons. This ensures you can still access your trunk while the box is fully loaded.

For added organization, the interior features integrated tie-down points on each clamp. This allows you to use straps to secure your cargo, preventing it from shifting during the drive through the winding Blue Ridge Mountains.
