We have since gotten a 2007 XC90 3.2 FWD, but have not tried the box on the XC90. I think you will need a step ladder to access any roof box on the XC90. We have camped with our dogs for 2 or 3 night trips with the XC90 and get all our stuff inside the XC90. At night we sleep in the XC90 with the dogs and move our gear to the front seats and outside. However, we pack light.
Thanks for the feedback.

I got 3 kids. If we go camping, with all the tents, cooking utensils and gears etc, a bit tight especially if I need one last row seat. The one boy I got likes it on his own at the back, with Nintendo, PSP, etc

Concern is the height of the Sport Time 200. I don't have issue with the stepping up to reach it but just will it be too high with the XC90. Will it look ugly.

The Weekender seems the ideal size. But hate that it is black and "bat mobile" look.
