From the Manufacturer
Additional Roof Rack Storage At a Great Value
The Thule 615 Pulse XL Roof Box offers consumers the additional space they need at an affordable value. The roof box has a 16 cubic foot interior capacity, and is constructed of rugged ABS plastic. Additional features include: Thule Easy-Grip mounting knobs internal to the box, SecureLock lid technology, side of box locking functionality, single side box opening from the passenger side, extensive rack compatibility, and three size choices to fit the vehicle and hauling needs of different users.
Rugged and Stylish ABS Plastic Construction
The Thule Pulse Roof Box product line is designed to provide cost-conscious consumers at all levels with the durable cargo box option that they need, without breaking the bank. The box's construction features durable and rugged ABS thermoplastic material throughout that is long-lasting and helps protect contents during transit. Its low-profile design is perfect for users who need to fit in a garage/parking structure, or just are less inclined to remove the box.
The lid holds up to the toughest weather conditions, and thanks to its aerodynamic shape, it can be left on year-round without a significant increase in noise. The reduction in drag through the aerodynamic design may also negate any impact to vehicle fuel efficiency.
Simple Easy-Grip Mounting Hardware
Thule Pulse cargo boxes attach easily to roof racks via Easy-Grip knob hardware along raised grooves in the floor of the box. The tool-free mounting capability of Easy-Grip hardware, and the length of the box's floor grooves make installation of the box a snap, literally installing in less than 5 minutes in many applications.
Passenger-Side Lid Opening
The lid of the Thule Pulse offers standard single-side access, opening up from the passenger side.
Internally at the front and back, it features lid lifters that hold the lid open for hands-free access. When you are done with your box, simply pull the lid closed, and built-in Thule SecureLock technology ensures that all edges of the lid are completely closed, and included locking functionality ensures that it stays that way.
A Variety of Sizes Available
The Thule Pulse XL version of the box provides 16 cubic feet of storage space. Additional box specifications include: weight capacity - 110 lb., dimensions - 76" (l) x 33" (w) x 16.5" (h), weight - 35 lb. The box is also available in two additional standardized size categories designed to help consumers determine which box is right for them: Alpine (11-12 cubic feet), and Large - L (13-14 cubic feet).
Extreme Rack Compatibility
Thule Force cargo boxes are designed for effortless use on most any rack configuration. It is compatible with Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks.

Fits all of our cars. Easy set up and breakdown. Only negative is that at highway speed it’s a little loud but to be expected. Very well built and exactly what we needed.

I've put this on my new 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid, I keep it on the vehicle full time. It's light enough to remove when not needed but storing it is an issue in my case. Driving around town at 50 mph and under I see no difference in fuel economy. Highway driving I can't give very accurate results since my vehicle is new and don't have very much pre-installation history. I did a 250 mile trip at 70-85 mph with heave AC use and got 34 mph, regular 50 mile trips at 60-75 with light or no AC use gets nets me 38-40 mpg.I've read concerns about it being flimsy and it is, that's where the light weight comes from. But once installed it takes on the sturdy feel of the crossbars it's attached to. The attachment assembly is very easy to use and seems to stay in place without much adjustment. I will say over a month or so, I have been able to get 1/8th of a turn or so out of each knob but what I do like is at a glance you can see the status of the attachments under the crossbars and know for a fact you're safe. I'm a "remove all doubt" kind of guy so I tie my unit down to the crossbars with 1/4" black nylon rope in a box/criss cross pattern just for that extra peace of mind that it's not going to take flight at 80 mph. Also, My crossbars are rated at 220lbs and this unit is rated at 110lbs, I suspect because of how the attachment devices are positioned in slits in the bottom and the potential for them to cut loose of those slits if there's too much weight in the box. My thought is that my tie down rope removes that possibility because it's secured to the crossbars, and assisting the boxes attachments in keep it on the car. It's water proof, Ive driven through heave rains AND regular car washes, not a drop of water get's in. The lock is a little sticky, just get a little tube of graphite as Thule recommends and that will take care of that. The locking assembly is tricky but it gives you the feeling of security when it does lock, and it's only finicky when locking, not unlocking. Make note of your key number.... 2 Spare keys and a master key are available on Amazon for $10, The hinges beat back and forth against the box when underway and empty, it's only noticeable when you have a sunroof / moonroof open. It's easily corrected by placing some adhesive backed foam at the touch-points on the inside of the box. I'm a success focused kind of person and as long as the fundamentals are in line with my expectations, I'm more than happy to work out a few small kinks to get full satisfaction out of my product. Having been through two cargo racks and two rooftop cargo bags before finding what I really wanted on top of my car, I can tell you I really love this cargo box. Thanks Thule

I really went back and forth on what to order for my rooftop carrier, between Thule, Sportsrack and Jegs. Due to aerodynamics and space capacity, I decided to go with the Thule Pulse Large size for my 2017 subaru outback. I picked the perfect option!! It fits this vehicle PERFECTLY, and wow is it larger than the picture looks. The height seems so small in the pics, but i was able to get 2 checked size luggage bags and a large carryon in this thing, and even had more space beyond that! If the price is what is holding you back on purchasing this, just remember the reason i finally pulled the trigger is because of the clamp locks for the crossbars. So easy to use i had it assembled first try in less than 10mins on top of my car. Just get it - you wont regret it!

Well built. Held at 75 mph. I did not notice any decrease in my gas mileage, perhaps because it sits back and does not hang over the windsheild in my case. Aerodynamically well thought out. 34" center to center was the max spacing between rails to mount. Anymore and the clamps start to pull off center and won't sit flat inside. Overall very pleased. Also bought the go pack luggage for ease of use. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.

The harden case was great on our trip. It kept the watertight, the design was functional and protected all my belongings.

We went on a road trip to Colorado and this cargo box did the job. It was big and very spacious. Mounting it was super easy. No wrenches or tools required.Having one lock was great. My parents have a different brand and theirs has two latches. Having one latch is way more convenient.We stopped in a hotel for the night on the way and when we woke up everything was still there.My MPG did drop to 30 MPG from the 35 we usually get going 75 MPH.Overall this was a great box. Sleek and aerodynamic compared to all the other boxes we saw on the road in Colorado.

Awesome product, easy installation, just got 1 correct key and 1 wrong key. Hopefully they send the another correct key. After we take our road trip, I'll probably give an update on it. But we took it out on the interstate for a test run and no noise, only if I hit a bump, I hear a noise (it's empty). I would give the review a 5 too but 1 wrong key and 1 correct key.

Cargo box we purchase is in size Large, coming in 77", which is perfect for our Subaru Forester.Here are few highlight and answer:1) It is not painted but in a shiny texture finish. Due to the handling of the carrier, there are a few scratches on the side but it is hardly noticeable.2) For size large, it only opens on the passenger side.3) It does come with the "FastGrip quick-mount system" which makes mounting a breeze. But they don't "Click" like other models.4) My wife drove it around town and does not notice any additional wind noise.5) It is big and could be quite heavy ( almost 40lb). An additional helper would be handy.6) It has a load capacity of 110lb.7) Once it mounted, it is quite hard to reach all the way across the box unless you standing on the back seat. I am 5' 8" and barely can reach across. If accessibility is a main concern for you, you might consider a box which opens both sides.Amazon bonus: Did I mention this box is HUGE! and Amazon delivered ( with a 5 ton truck )with 3 days which is amazing. Most company charges $100+ for local delivery. Big thumbs up for that!We will go on a road trip and provide update later!!

Thule is wicked expensive, but you really can’t beat the quality. It was really easy to install and adjust. No additional noise was noticed in the cabin. The back latches are a little difficult to reach, but a step ladder made this a non-issue for install. On the first trip, it weathered 2000 miles in temperatures from ranging from 65 degrees down to 10. Heavy snow and crosswinds didn’t deter this trusty cargo box. The locking mechanism worked great in all weather and temperatures. Really performed wonderfully in aspects.For storage we use a pulley system to store above the garage door. It’s just thin enough that it fits, while maximizing the storage capacity.
