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 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.

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

  • I really love it!
Size: Large Color: Black
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 ... show more

  • One year of use and still going!
Size: Large Color: Black
Bought this for long trips as we have 3 kids and a dog -- so we need more space even though we have a large SUV. - Overall great product. Fits bags, sleeping bags, etc. Easy to set up. Light enough that I can easily take on/off the car though not sure my wife could. I'm not really sure why you would buy a more expensive one unless you needed a bigger size. Size is pretty much perfect for my family needs. - Latching onto the car roof rack is simple. Seems like it would fit any roof rack bars -- we tried it on our SUV standard ones and our aftermarket bars. Locks on and stays tight entire trip. For long trips I do tie it down too just in case because I am paranoid on fast highways with these things but its stayed perfectly tight so what Im doing is overkill -- but better safe than sorry. - Only real pain is trying to lock it. Its like there is a fine line between everything being too loose or too tight and then when I close and try to lock it, I have to lift up the lid and readjust. Not sure I've ever had one of these that made that easy but there has got to be a way haha. - I assume this will last forever and I'd say its a good in between model between the really cheap and really expensive ones. Makes that perfect for me. I didn't want to cheap out but also didn't need to spend $1200 either. - Finally I can fit this on my SUV and still fit my surfboards or slim cage next to it -- that was a goal of mine and it works with my 60" crossbars easily. ... show more

Size: Large Color: Black
Great product. Took a trip to Sea World and used the cargo carrier. We put all our luggage and the kids wagon in the carrier and it was a perfect fit. Was a little concerned about the rain during our trip, but our luggage was kept dry. Definitely worth the money to have the entire cabin luggage free. ... show more

  • Good for road trips
Size: Large Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Awesome
Size: Large Color: Black
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.

Size: Large Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • WOW. Read this if you are unsure on space
Size: Large Color: Black
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! ... show more
