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.

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.
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.

Exactly as advertised. Installation is super quick and easy if you already have luggage racks on your vehicle. The thule mounting system is excellent, simply twist to tighten. 2018 Toyota highlander XLE.
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.

Fits like a glove on a 2010 CRV. Took minutes to install and on the road.
Review from a similar Pulse in Roof Box
We have not tried ours yet, but because we have borrowed friends' before we know we are in good hands with this box. Right length for our ski equipment and other junk! Light weight and fairly straight forward to attach to roof. I am short, so get someone a little taller to mount it lol.
Review from a similar Pulse in Roof Box
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.

About a year ago you purchased a Thule Pulse Roof Box 16 cubic ft, and I am extremely please that I can now take what I need when hunting and camping. Customer support was excellent in helping me figure out the Bars and box appropriate for my needs for my '17 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.
