Will this fit on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory rack/crossbars? And, will the rear lift-gate open completely without the box obstructing?

Yes, it will definitely fit the Grand Cherokee without any lift gate obstruction. It fits my 2014 Cherokee with plenty of room from the aerial and lift gare.You should check the Thule website fit guide on their website because when I was researching I'm fairly sure that the XL will fit the Grand Cherokee, which would give you extra capacity.

Hi Neal, our boxes will fit to the factory installed crossbars systems. We do have a fitment chart available to determine rear hatch clearance. If you would like a copy please contact us direct. What we would need to know is the distance from your front crossbar to the fist point of contact when the hatch is open, that measurement will allow us to determine which models will fit without interference. Thanks!

I think so. Inside there are 4 movable joint to connect with your cross bar. You can move the carrier around 1ft (not exactly). So you can move the carrier frontside or backward. So rear gate will not hit your carrier. Go to REI and check visually if you can :). I did. Enjoy trip.

They fit the 2014 and there has not been a change in the roof rack to which these mount. They fit perfectly on my 2014 and are very sturdy. I would not use an after-market or "generic" crossbars.

it's a universal rack that will attach to any roof that has cross bars. You will need to get cross bars that fit your jeep, if you don't already have them. This is the smaller size rack so it will fit no problem...the bigger one will probably fit your jeep as well

Shouldn't be a problem fitting the factory rack. Have about 5,000 miles on mine. No problems and I can get it on and off in around fifteen minutes with all the practice.

I did not have any trouble installing the cross bars on my 2006 Hemi Commander. What you see is what you get. The knob on top was a concern at first but it no longer worries me that it stands out. My last Grand Cherokee had a lower profile that was more appeasing to the eye. It was a Jeep product and quite a bit more expensive.

I've got it on a 93 with 4 inch lift on 33's. Its been good so far except it compleatly blocks the rear view mirror with the spare on. Have to get new side views now so I can drive without doors. It was a bitch to install, had to drop gas tank and drill new holes but once all that was done it went on great. Looks good. Holds a 33 in tire, getting 35's soon but shouldn't be an issue. Its solid, looks good and I think worth the price. Arrived with all parts in package. Haven't had to use it for recovery yet so cant tell ya if its going to get snatched off or not.... hope not. So far so good, id reccommend it. Hope this helps I've got it on a 93 with 4 inch lift on 33's. Its been good so far except it compleatly blocks the rear view mirror with the spare on.

First thing you should ask is does rack release allow it to drop eonugh so you can open the rear door. The premier does not and the rear Jeep door can not be opened unless you take the entire unit off the vehicle. Would rather not travel with a couple of wrenches to remove and then replace everytime you want to open the rear cargo space. Very dissappointed.

I used a GM box and it fit fine. The bars are adjustable as far as the length of any box you use the main concern is width. As long as it is narrow enough to fit between the roof rails it should be no problem.

I have a RAV4 with an external tire and it fits just fine with room to spare. The only issue I run into is that I cannot open the rear door more than about a third of the way, even with the rack tilted down.

Good day, we do offer a clearance chart to determine if a certain box will clear the hatch of the vehicle. In most cases, customers are happy to receive the additional storage space so being able to fully open the hatch 85-90% of the way isn't as much of a concern as it will allows ample rear access. However, if you do want to be sure the box will clear the hatch when mounted to the factory crossbars, we recommend visiting a dealer to view the dimension chart and instructions for obtaining the front clearance dimension. You can also contact Thule direct, and we can email that to you. Thanks!

You can check if your car will work on Yakima's website. I have a Honda Element with factory roof rack - zero issues. The Skybox has adjustable clamps that move to wherever your crossbars are located. I went through the selections on here - and looks like you shouldn't have a problem: http://www.yakima.com/fit/Information

I have it on the similarly sized Outback and it fits with plenty of clearance for the rear hatch to open. The clamps are adjustable to fit the factory installed crossbars.

do you need raised side rails to install these? My 2014 jeep grand Cherokee has flush rails.

This is a front bracket for an XJ cherokee. Cherokees do not have rear track bars. If you are looking for something to fit a wrangler or grand cherokee this will not fit. I have this bracket on my XJ with 7" of lift and it works great. It is the best one out there right now in my opinion.

I have the bars and just got a thule 624. It's compact and fat and can be adjusted so no worries about the trunk opening. Oh and the box opens from both sides. Which is huge while loading both trunk and box. We have a 2011 crv .

Yes. It has two straps that attach to bottom of jeep body that will keep the door openings covered even with doors removed.

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!
