Up here to the right
A little too late for the crossbar. I bought the OEM from a 2017 Yukon. (One of the Members here)
And I bought a Thule Force XL
for $300 the guy never used it and still in the box. Enough for what I need to take.
There is 7 of us going but on the way back some are flight back because of work so me and my little guy are taking the Auto Train in Orlando. Cheaper and I get to rest. Cost $340
Have a good time..... we drive straight through no stopping except gas and bathroom.....thought about the train....I remember my father had to get a car from a great uncle that died in Florida and him and my other uncle did that.... would be cool.... your truck fits? Extra money? Because its so big? Jjust curious on price.

No extra. That's for the 2 of us an the truck. Includes seats, Dinner and Breakfast, free wifi. $340 I reserved long time ago. Of course the more you request the more you pay. Bed, showers, ect.

There is another clip on YouTube with a Denali inside the train. When I called they knew exactly what I have.

I highly suggest keeping the load on the back vs on the top. As others said, adding height may hinder your parking options, as well as be difficult to load. Yes, adding cargo to the rear could interfere with your auto-tailgate, so turn it off. So far this year....
1) I've taken my wife & 3-kids to the beach with a VERY full 2016 Suburban and my custom tow hitch carrier, and got 22mpg round trip. 2) Took my family, plus my in-laws to the mountains. Once again, fully loaded with tow hitch carrier, got 22mpg round trip.
Keep the load off the roof :)

My Florida trip is approaching and I need some advice on what to get.
Maybe I'm typing in the wrong name on the search bar but couldn't come up with anything similar.
But the top Cargo Box or the Hitch Carrier?
Cargo Box I have to buy the top rails. Mine truck does not have them.
I have a hitch carrier and a large waterproof bag I got from Cabelas, have used it for over 5 yrs, works well and I can open my hatch with no problems, I do have brake lights and signals installed on the carrier.
