The Thule Pulse Medium cargo box is a economical way to carry anything from groceries and gardening equipment to small duffel bags and carry-on luggage for 2 - 3 people on your roof rack crossbars. The box provides enclosed storage for your gear on weekend getaways or when transporting everyday items.
Mounting the Pulse Medium is a tool-free operation thanks to the Easy-Grip hardware. Just throw the box on your roof, insert the Easy-Grip clamps into the rubber-lined mounting slots in the bottom of the box, center the clamps over your crossbars, and turn the knobs to tighten them down.
These hand knobs are mounted in tracks so that they can be repositioned for vehicles with shorter roofs. Simply slide the hand knobs to the desired position and give them a spin.
The Easy-Grip assemblies also include anchor points for securing your cargo. Just loop the included cargo straps through the anchor points and pull the straps tight to secure your gear.
The Pulse Medium has an extremely low profile and an aerodynamic shape that helps to reduce drag and wind noise when the box is mounted on your roof rack.
The Pulse Medium features a single-side-opening lid so you can safely load your gear from the passenger's side of your vehicle. And a built-in strap makes it easy to lift and close the lid.
The cargo box has an oversize SecureLock on the passenger's side. This specially designed lock prevents you from removing the key if the box is not properly closed and locked. This eliminates the possibility of the box coming open as you travel down the road. And the lock includes a Thule One-Key-System core so you can swap it out to make all your Thule accessories keyed alike.
This cargo box is constructed of rugged ABS plastic that resists impact, weather, and harsh UV rays. And the matte black finish adds a touch of style when the box is mounted on your roof.

The Easy-Grip clamps let you mount the box to your roof rack without tools, and single-side-opening lid include a lock.I ordered the Thule Pulse medium rooftop cargo box. We did have a little delay in receiving the product beyond what was expected. When we ordered, we were advised it would ship in six weeks as it was back ordered This was okay for my needs. Then we received messages a couple times that pushed it out over a month longer. I contacted customer service and was advised it was due to the fact that the payment needed to be reauthorized as it had been too long. I explained I received an email when that happened and immediately took care of that. Apparently, according to the customer service person I spoke with, this pushed my order behind others that had ordered after I had. He did push things along and I fortunately received it before our scheduled trip.
It was easy to mount to my wife’s Jeep Cherokee. It is very sturdy and easily accommodated our dogs bed and supplies and luggage for three of us for a four day trip. It was much quieter on expressway travel than I expected. And when we returned home it was very easy to remove and store.
So the bottom line, customer service was helpful in resolving the delay issue, the product is of good quality and was exactly what we needed. Installation and removal was easy and storage space was sufficient. It was easy to position the box for easy passenger side loading and without interference with the lift gate.
I was happy with my order and the communication with etrailer. The packaging was excellent and delivery was excellent. The Thule Pulse rooftop cargo box is a good fit for our 2019 Toyota Highlander.
This box worked perfectly on my 2016 Acura MDX with the factory rails. The clamps that secure the box to the rails are adjustable. Fortunately I am tall and loading and unloading the box doesn’t pose an issue. I used the box for a camping trip and a vacation where I needed free space inside.
There wasn’t a significant drop in gas mileage or issues when I traveled at 70 mph.
I couldn’t find one locally. I was afraid with the current nation wide shipping issues it would take months to get it. Surprisingly it came in 1 week. Delivery company contacted me with a time and they were on time. Easy transaction.
For the money not worth it at all
.Flimsy thin plastic.
Cut it with exacti knife
Research. Don’t get duped
Got this unit to put on my Tesla Model 3. I have a stock Tesla roof rack on the car and this cargo bin mounted to it perfectly. The materials and workmanship of the unit are standard THULE quality, which is to say, very good. It feels kind of "wobbly" when one has it on the floor or table, but that's to be expected when there's no roof rack underneath to help make the bottom clamshell rigid. The brackets that hold the shell open for loading also feels kind of "loose," but they actually work quite well, so I assume this is by-design. It was hard to find the keys when this arrived (they were taped with clear tape in a bottom corner of the shipping bag), and since the unit came locked, this was a bit distressful. but I eventually found them and all is fine. It's a fine storage bin.
I took a trip across country with my Bernese Mtn dog. I live in Wyoming and drove to NJ for a family vacation. The great roof top carrier held everything, including linens for all six people, the dog's food, she gets special feedings, and all the clothes and equipment I needed for three weeks. It rained during the trip, downpour actually, and everything in the contain stayed dry. I love this box!
We were only able to use the carrier for two trips before the key broke off inside the lock. We took it to a local locksmith who was able to drill it out to get it open, but we cannot secure it or use it now. We called your customer service line beforehand but were told there was no solution. So, we still have it but cannot use it. Sorry such a large expense so quickly down the drain.
Great service
Great storage! We use this when going in vacation. Easy to take on and off vehicle. Fits so much for our family of four!
other then being alil flimsey and vibrating on the highway it did what i expected it to do
Easy to install, very secure
Review from a similar Pulse in Roof 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.

The box is easy to open and close. You can fit a lot of luggage inside. The lock keeps my cargo secure. My belongings are kept completely dry from the rain. The box is not loud, even at highway speeds. Attaching the box to my cross rails is a cinch. It is aerodynamic so I’ve only lost about 1 mpg. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I wish the box was slightly deeper to allow for my hard travel case for golf clubs.

Excellent customer service and shipping. Cargo box arrived when they said it would and delivery driver went out of his way to ensure we were satisfied. I honestly couldn't be happier. Thule pulse large size is perfect for our family of five, and the duffel bags are also great.

I don’t even know how to open this box. My order got delivered with a missing packing. It’s been over 8 days and still haven’t heard back from anyone here on resolving this. XXX dollar item not in and now I come to discover I can’t even open this box?? Maybe the key was in the other package? Don’t want to break it open but tried opening it by pulling up on the passenger opening side with no luck. Wish I could properly review this item, but not sure I even have all that’s included. This is the worst experience I’ve had yet with not receiving items and no follow up for resolution of this matter.

We've had the Thule Roof Rack & Cargo Box on our Honda CRV for over a year now and have traveled extensively in cold and hot climates (Arizona, Florida, Maine, etc.). The hardware installs and removes easily. We stay in the specs for weight, etc., and have not had a single issue. It gives us the extra space we need. Working with etrailer was easy and straight-forward. I had a question on the fit with our car, sent photos of the roof, etc. and was promptly guided to the right product. I'm pleased with the experience and product.

Review from a similar Pulse in Roof Box
Purchased for our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and after multiple uses we have no regrets. The price was good; the Thule Cargo box is surprisingly light, I was able to lift it over my head onto our Jeep fairly easy. The box does only open on one side and given the height of our Jeep, that was an issue when we mounted the box center line on the Jeep. We've since started mounting the cargo box on the right side, so using a step I can easily reach any cargo inside. The two straps for securing cargo are useless and we ditched them for Bihlwerflex bungee straps. Much easier to install and use. The clamps that secure the cargo box to the rails are great, makes the mount/secure process a breeze. I do a walk around and check everything whenever we stop and the clamps have always been secure.

We purchased our Thule luggage carrier for our trip to Teas from South Dakota. Went thru a snow storm to get their and actually was in the middle of the Texas snow/ice storm last year. Had no issues with our Thule. Easy to mount and access. Rides quiet and secure as well. Highly recommend.
