Description

With a Thule Pulse rooftop cargo box you can get even more out of your car and your journeys. The extra space in our world-leading car top carriers means you can take everything you need on your next adventure. Choose the right size for your needs to accommodate skis, snowboards, luggage or everyday essentials. Designed with durable materials for a lifetime of use and tested to the limit at the Thule Test Center, our roof boxes are regularly voted "best-in-test" for safety, security and ease of use by leading testing agencies and driver associations. From the Manufacturer Additional Roof Rack Storage At a Great Value The Thule 613 Pulse Alpine Roof Box offers consumers the additional space they need at an affordable value. The roof box has a 11 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 Alpine version of the box provides 11 cubic feet of storage space. Additional box specifications include: weight capacity - 110 lb., dimensions - 88.5" (l) x 25.5" (w) x 12.5" (h), weight - 30 lb. The box is also available in two additional standardized size categories designed to help consumers determine which box is right for them: Large - L (13-14 cubic feet), and X-Large - XL (16-17 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.

About Thule Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life. See more

  • Durable, good looking roof box.
Size: Apline Color: Black
I've had this roof box for about 4 years now, maybe about a year of that time it was not installed. It's very secure on my roof rack with very simple clamps to attach. The included internal cargo straps could be better, but serve their purpose fine. The box does rattle a bit when empty, and the noise generated from it isn't terribly loud. I've never found actual water in the box, but dried out stains on occasion, so if it has been compromised I've never gotten any of my items wet or noticed it. I'm not a huge fan of the lock system it has, but it does work fine. If you haven't packed your items super well it can be frustrating to close and lock the box. The box feels a bit flimsy but I've yet to break or notice anything wrong with it when taking it on or off my car. For an entry level priced Thule, I'd say it could be a bit better for the money; but the next model up is hundreds more dollars. If you want a well-trusted roof box brand for a bit less money, this is a great option. ... show more

  • Good place for skis
Size: Apline Color: Black
This box fits well on my Model Y with the Tesla/Yakima roof rails. The box fits with no problem, but you need to adjust the automatic trunk opening height (very easy, just manually set height and hold close button for a few seconds.) You also want to adjust the brackets to make sure the rubber is in contact with the rack and not the metal. This could leave a scratch on your rack if you drive around with the metal in contact with the crossbars. I ended up putting a piece of high density foam to lift up the box off the rack. It seems to do the trick, but I may need to regularly replace it. I guess time will tell. Also make sure the box is flat and not twisted when you tighten it up, or the latch/lock will be hard to operate (it's made of thin flexible plastic). As most people mentioned, the plastic is thin and wobbly when not on the car, but it feels much better once mounted in place. I haven't tested how much it reduces my range yet, but it doesn't appear it have a large impact at lower speeds (<50 mph). ... show more

  • Little mods req for Tacoma OEM style roof rack
Size: Apline Color: Black
I wanted a Thule roof rack as my previous Thule rack, Evolution came to the end of its life after 20years of heavy use. Thule Pulse Alpine is just about similar size and will accommodate my fishing poles. I didn’t measure the distance between rails of Tacoma OEM style roof rack when it swung out as cross bars: they were too far apart for this Thule box. What I did was to buy 4 stainless steel u-bolts, three 4 feet aluminum strut channel, two sets of L strut connections, and self etching primer and black spray paint. I used front cross bar to attach front craw of Thule box, u-bolted on two primed&painted 4’ strut channels parallel to the Thule box, determined where to add strut channel cross bar for rear craws of the Thule box: cut the strut bar to the length and used it as back latching points. I could have used one of those crossbars that attach to existing rails if they could grab on to 2.5” wide oval rails that can swing out as cross bars: standard for OEM style roof rack for Tacoma. One more thing I’d go back to do is to prime and paint hardwares like u-bolts and strut joints. Overall I’m happy with my DIY and Thule pulse Alpine. I’m glad I’m set for this fishing season for sure lol ... show more

  • Almost great cargo box
Size: Apline Color: Black
This is a great box for the price with a big caveat. It’s super easy to install assuming you have the proper crossbars on your vehicle and installs in just a few minutes with just the turn of 4 hand screws - if you can close the lid on a jar, you can probably install this box onto your car. The material is cheap abs plastic, but it is durable, stylish, quiet and has been weather proof over more than 500 miles of heavy rain. (If you are having trouble with weather leaking in, I would remount the box forward or aft to try to keep the edge of the box out of your cars slipstream).Even though it feels like it’s going to crack at times, it actually turns out to be pretty tough and has taken a fair beating. Where thule goes wrong is with the latching mechanism. Most reviews complain about the lock but the lock and it’s mechanism are adequate and you shouldn’t have a problem locking the box if it is packed correctly. The problem is that it’s extraordinarily difficult to pack the box correctly unless you are under packing it. The ideal packing configuration for this box is to pack it so that nothing touches the lid of the box - which is harder than it seems most of the time. The box locks with two mechanisms: a passive latching mechanism which holds the box top in position and a lock mechanism that secures the top. Without a proper latch you cannot lock the box. The proper way to close the box is to pack it, and then close it until it latches at all three latch points. When it’s latched the lid will remain closed without any assistance. If it doesn’t remain evenly closed around the entire box then the box has too much stuff in it. If you think it’s close to latching and you want to fight it for 20 minutes you can try to get it to latch with the help of a friend but I’m not sure it’s worth the time. After it’s latched completely you can turn the cylinder in the lock and it will close the box without issue. The key should turn easily in the cylinder 180 degrees. Do not force it. Not only does it not make any mechanical difference in closing the box, you will break the key. It’s always smarter to remove stuff from the box and try again until you get a proper latch. I would prefer that Thule add a different kind of latching mechanism to their box- even if it means giving up a central locking mechanism. As it stands, I plan to rivet my own latches to the box in hopes that it will solve some of the issues with properly closing the box. ... show more
