Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte Black
This was purchased off of the etrailer.com website as a "damaged" item at a significantly reduced price. The description on the website described the damage very well and the cargo box has no functional issues of any kind. Also, the cargo box arrived much earlier than I anticipated. Furthermore, when I noticed that the box arrived with the load securing straps missing I emailed etrailer customer support and they had Thule send me two new ones right away. Couldn't be more pleased with etrailer and this cargo box. It fits my 2014 Honda CRV with factory crossbars with just a little bit of rear hatch interference (restricts opening by maybe an inch or two, but can still fully use the rear hatch). Can't speak to durability quite yet as I've only used the cargo box a few times to transport skis and snowboard and plan to use it year-round for road trips. A really great, simple cargo box!
The 16 cu ft cargo box fits perfectly on the 2018 Toyota Rav4. Literally takes about 5 minutes, 10min at the most, to set up on the rooftop, and was able to do it without the help of a second person. The box itself weighs very little.

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Looks Good and practical, installed in 15 min on my 2022 Venza. Now I can put my stuff in the box and my German Shepard can have the whole trunk to himself :)
I was hesitant to spend this much money on a cargo box that won't get used but a couple of times per year but I'm glad I did!! The quality of this box is excellent and it is really, really easy to mount. It is a bit awkward to carry for one person but with the help of another person it's very easy to carry and put on top of the car. The gloss black looks really nice and sleek. The 16 cubic foot capacity really opens up space inside our car and will make longer road trips much more manageable and comfortable. Being able to load the box from either side is a game changer! I also really like how it locks and how it has a notification if all latches are not engaged. As of writing this review, I have not actually tested it loaded or at highway speeds but I'm very confident it will perform as expected. Now I have to figure out how to store it!!

Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy
Great customer service and great product. Thank you !
This roof box is very sleek in design and I love how low it sits. Everything is wonderful with it; it can fit all my camping gear despite being a slimmer model. I gave it four stars because one of the powerclick clamps that it came with fell apart only after 3 uses and now i’m going to have to drop another $70+ for a replacement. Other than that, I would recommend this item.

Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
The box is great, kept everything dry. No noise or rattle. Dont skimp out on a good set of rack bars. Easy install. Made it 3000 miles up the AlCan highway.
We love our new Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Boxes and can’t wait for our next trip. Opens from both sides, well designed! Recommend you attach the straps before putting it on top of vehicle.

I purchased the cargo box a year ago and was out on the road for 4 1/2 months last summer carried all my flyfishing gear, golf clubs, etc. things that I didn’t need to use every day in the box and it was absolutely wonderful
I’ve been owning this cargo box for over a year now , I love it and never had problems at all or any issues . Handles in weathers, power washing and high speed winds . Very sturdy and good looking cargo box

Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Matte Black
I can see why people consider the box a bit flimsy, especially when you do not have it secured to the car and nothing is inside. That’s normal. For this to weigh 34 lbs and yet to be wall sturdy and provide waterproof conditions that the bag cannot, it has to be lightweight. Once we attached it to the car at 4 points, it wasn’t going anywhere and was instantly sturdy. I wouldn’t roughhouse with the locks or opening it up and down with force however. Also, 14 cu for a sedan is plenty. Anything larger and you are looking to push the limits.
Overall, we are pleased with this carrier. My husband and son installed it easily on my 2017 Honda Pilot, and I could still use my sunroof. The only noise was when it was empty and we hit one big bump. 99.9% of the time, it was not possible to detect the carrier was there. It did not seem to effect gas mileage either. It did not get 5 stars for the combination of price and quality. For the cost, I might have expected it to be a little less flimsy feeling, and a little more precisely constructed. However, once in use, these minor issues disappeared. We use it for luggage holding clothing, and it held 2 large pieces with room to spare. Overall, we are satisfied. However, do not forget you need space to store it when not in use !

Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 11 Cu Ft - Matte Black
It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.
Great size box, the latching function is very particular though, you have to be able to completely close it with no resistance or it won't lock. It sounds annoying but it's a very good indicator that the box is secure and won't fly open on the freeway. We've used it for cross country trips and it's held up great, not much noise from it, a little but nothing that was too annoying. Definitely worth the money for extra storage.

Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black AeroSkin
Coming up on a year owning this great Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box. Installed it on a medium high-top Ford Transit to travel with a big family and not have all our gear stuffed inside with us. Haven't taken it off - no wind noise, no rattles, not fading after a year in the southeast US climate, and huge capacity - we lined up several carry-on sized suitcases in there without a problem. Very satisfied!
Installed on a 2016 Lexus GX 460 on stock rail and crossbar system. It fit. Antennae is a bit close to box but there is a gap and clearance. On stock ride height the max height at top of box is nearly 8ft.
What our customers are saying:
"This is the BEST Cargo Carrier I have ever seen - from engineering to looks to capacity. It exemplifies the old addage the you get what you pay for.. You guys were a pleasure to deal with in this transaction. Your follow-up emails on status of the delivery were much appreciated - and very professional. Keep up the good work!"
