Here you can find some pics showing the CX5 equipped with the Thule Force L cargo box. It easily fits 2 pairs of ski's and 2 snowboards (no longer than 61 inches) together with shoes and helmets for 3 adults. Sometimes i have 3 pairs of ice skates too.

Thank you. To be honest, ever since i bought the car i was planning to replace the arm rest fabric.

OEM cross bars. The Box has plenty of room to move it forward so that it does not touch the antenna. I installed it that way for esthetics and aerodynamics. The lift gate opens just fine once the box is up. Removing the box when not in use is the best idea. Also this model is very easy to...

Here a couple of pics with my blue ride ready for summer
