Pulse Large
The Thule Pulse Large cargo box is a economical way to carry outdoor equipment such as skis and snowboards, as well as large luggage or baby gear for 3 - 5 people on your roof rack crossbars. The long, spacious box provides enclosed storage for your gear on long road trips or when traveling to sporting events.
Easy-Grip Mounting Hardware
Mounting the Pulse Large 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.
Aerodynamic Design
The Pulse Large has a low profile and an aerodynamic shape that helps to reduce drag and wind noise when the box is mounted on your roof rack.
Single-Side-Opening Lid
The Pulse Large 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.
SecureLock
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.
Rugged Construction
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 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.
Comments
Thule rooftop box is great a year later. Super simple but also very secure. Travel with my daughter and dog would not be possible without it.

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.
by: Dan08/15/2022
This thing is awesome!!! Perfect size for our Grand Cherokee. Easy to install, super secure, and a ton of space!!
by: Stephen07/25/2021
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.
by: Christine03/28/2022
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.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

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.
by: Geoffrey H03/11/2022
Box came damaged retaped torn and shrink wrapped fortunately no damage to carrier.Installation was easy ,only drove with it empty around town so far so good will see how it goes on our next trip. Photo large Pulse on a 2011 Nissan Murano factory crossbars very close to open sunroof.o

The Thule Pulse was everything we needed for our 2016 Highlander. Great experience traveling with it and no problems with leaking.
by: Eva09/19/2022
This was a much needed addition for a drive back to Tucson, AZ from a three month stay in Portland. ME, as we had acquired some extra things and needed more space than our 2015 Honda CRV provided.
This fit on top of the rhino vortex aero roof rack I also purchased from e-trailer perfectly. The cargo box functioned as expected, and although we ultimately could have used a slightly larger cargo box, this one worked great for giving us extra space in our car for the drive home. It was easy to mount and opened easily, although it was a bit tricky to load, a step ladder would have helped. It was tough to close, we had to move some stuff around to get it to latch, but I appreciated that it would not lock unless the latches could fully engage, which made me feel like it was going to remain closed while traveling. We wasted no time putting stickers on it, and added more along the drive home, which was fun.
We traveled through many different types of weather, it was late spring and was rainy in the beginning of our trip, and very hot towards the end of our trip, and the contents were in perfect condition when we arrived home. There was zero water damage inside, and nothing was damaged from being in the heat. Of course there was some reduced gas mileage and added road noise when traveling, but nothing too unbearable.
Also, service and shipping from etrailer was excellent.

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.

Works great for our golf clubs or portable kayaks. Would purchase again.

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.
by: Jennings10/20/2021
The Thule Pulse has worked well for us in our travels. Mounts easily and there is no noise or vibration. Instructions are easy to follow, light weight makes it easy to handle & Mount. Has adequate storage. Great product & well worth the money.
by: Joe 12/10/2021
Used this Cargo Box on 4 trips now. We love it! It's stored a lot of our duffle bags, sleeping bags, pillows, etc. Very great for storage!
by: Bart04/01/2022
Fantastic product. We've driven it from Texas to Chiapas (MEX), and back, twice. I love Thule so much I recently got one of their laptop cases, and it's also great.
by: Greg02/23/2022
The product is great and what was expected. The service was spectacular as the box came in perfect shape but a full week earlier than promised. This was my 5 or 6th order with Etrailer and every one has been the same great product followed with detailed instructions how to install and on time, organized delivery!
by: Michael 06/05/2021
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.
by: Lynn 07/20/2021
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.
by: Andrew 08/11/2022
Very easy to install. I've been very happy with this purchase.
by: Philip 06/05/2021
Very good product. Easy to mount and easy to load. Fits my factory crossbars perfectly. Very satisfied.
by: Alex01/10/2019
1 year later - this box is excellent! Mounted on a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Rhino Rack (PSP) aero bars also bought from etrailer but seemingly no longer available here (they're really good if you can find them elsewhere).
Box sturdy, not too noisy, and a breeze to mount and take off unlike some of the less expensive models. Holds a large amount of stuff and is long enough for our skis. Waterproof too - has been through torrential rains and snows.
TL;DR - solid buy, recommended!
by: Phil S06/04/2020
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.
by: Robert 11/20/2021
Great product! It's light enough to place without hassle but sturdy enough to pack full! No vibrations, rattles, or troubles! ETrailer provided quick, free delivery as well!
by: Wayne 08/19/2021
I love when I call etrailer, I get a real person. Thank you. You handle quality merchandise and competitive pricing and great customer service. The Thule Pulse large is high quality.

- Will the Pulse L Cargo Box Allow Full Access to the Rear Hatch of a 2010 Subaru TribecaThe Pulse L cargo box # TH615 will not come in contact with the rear hatch and radio antenna of your 2010 Subaru Tribeca as long as the measurement from the front cross bar back to the radio antenna or hatch (whichever is closer) is 46-3/8 inches or less. See the diagram to the right. The total length of the cargo box is 76-inches and please ensure you have a minimum crossbar spread of at least 23-5/8 inches in order for it to fit properly. I included a video review for you as well.

- Will Thule Pulse Cargo Box Fit Factory Roof Rack on a 2011 Honda CR-VYes, the Thule Pulse cargo box # TH615 does fit the factory crossbars on your 2011 Honda CR-V. For the box to fit without interference with the rear hatch you would need to have 46-3/8 inches or greater from the center of the front crossbar to the seam between the top of the hatch and roof.

- Roof Mount Cargo Box that Will Fit a 2004 Ford Expedition and 2015 Subaru ForesterAssuming both the 2004 Ford Expedition and 2015 Subaru Forester have factory installed roof racks with crossbars that run side to side all of the Thule cargo boxes will fit both vehicles. I have included a link to them for you. The Pulse Large box, # TH615, is a good choice because it has 16 cubic feet of space but is not overly long at 76 inches. I have linked a video showing the box on a 2015 Forester for you.

view full answer... - Is the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Compatible with the Factory Roof Rack of a 2009 Hyundai Santa FeIf the factory rack on your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe has cross bars that run from side to side you should have no problem installing this Thule Pulse XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box # TH615 on your vehicle. I checked with Thule to confirm the fit also. If you have rails that run from front to back but no cross bars you will first need components that will give you cross bars. I attached a link to a page that has all of the different Thule roof racks that will work on your vehicle if it only has...

view full answer... - What is the Maximum Speed You Can Go with a Cargo Box Installed on the RoofThe only statement that Thule has on the speed you should travel while carrying a cargo box on the roof, like # TH615, is the following: For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried. Traveling at normal highway speeds as posted is permissible. You may find that the vehicle will handle differently with the box installed on the vehicle because the aerodynamics will...
view full answer... - Will the Thule Pulse XL Fit on the Factory Cross Bars of a 2012 Volkswagen TiguanYes, I checked with Thule and the Thule Pulse XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box # TH615 that you referenced will fit on the cross bars of your 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what the recommended carrying capacity is for your roof and be sure not to exceed this number. Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached for this product.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Interfere with the Rear Hatch or Antenna on a 2005 Toyota PriusWe have tested the Pulse XL cargo box # TH615 on a 2011 Toyota Prius with aftermarket roof rack, but not a 2005. On the 2011, see video linked to the right, and it just barely clears the antenna. The hatch was not a problem as you can see in the video. The mounting feet on the box can be adjusted backwards to move the body of the box forward to give you more clearance at the rear of the vehicle. If the antenna is in the way but if it is flexible enough, you should not have to remove it....
view full answer... - Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit a 2012 Honda Odyssey LX Model with Factory Roof RackThe Thule Pulse XL cargo box # TH615 will fit the factory roof rack on your 2012 Honda Odyssey. Be sure to check the weight carrying capacity of the roof rack and vehicle roof and do not exceed the lower of the 2 ratings. I have included some informational links for you to view. This box is 76 inches long, 33 inches wide, and 16-1/2 inches tall so you should not have any problem getting 2 sets of clubs inside.
view full answer... - Rear Hatch Clearance of Thule Pulse XL Roof Cargo Box # TH615 on 2009 Toyota HighlanderTo determine if the Thule Pulse XL # TH615 will clear the liftgate on your 2009 Highlander, you will need to take a measurement on the roof. Open the rear liftgate and measure the distance between the rearmost roof rack crossbar and the closest portion of the liftgate. If this measurement is less than 16 inches, the Pulse XL Roof box will install without interfering with the operation of your liftgate.

- Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit a 2010 Lexus RX350 with Factory Roof RackThe Thule Pulse XL, # TH615, is a direct fit to the factory installed crossbars on your 2010 Lexus RX 350. It is unlikely that you will be able to open the moon roof with any box installed. There just will not be enough space between the roof and the bottom of the box. But then again, opening the moon roof with the box installed would not be so great because it would block the view and it would be noisy.
view full answer... - Will the Rear Hatch on a 2003 Nissan Xterra Interfere with a Thule Force XT Cargo BoxI checked with Thule and the Force XT model that you referenced would interfere with the rear hatch on your 2003 Nissan Xterra but you can use the Pulse L, # TH615, and it will not interfere. The box will also fit the factory roof rack on the vehicle.

Be sure not to exceed the roof capacity of your vehicle.
view full answer... - Will Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit Lexus RX350 with Factory Roof Rack or Interfere with HatchIf your Lexus RX350 is a 2005 to 2012 model then the Pulse XL, # TH615, will fit the factory roof rack. I checked with Thule and this box should not cause interference with the rear hatch so you should not have a problem opening it. It may touch the antenna but these antennas are fairly pliable and it should not damage it.
view full answer... - Which Thule Cargo Box Will Fit a 2012 Toyota 4Runner and Not Interfere with the Rear HatchIn order to determine which Thule roof cargo boxes will fit your 2012 Toyota 4Runner without hatch interference you will need to do a little measuring. First, if you can move the crossbars on your roof, move the front bar as far forward as possible. Then measure from the center of that bar to the gap between the top of the hatch and the roof. Then you can use the chart in the picture I provided to determine what will fit.

- Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Clear the Antenna on a 2012 Nissan RogueI checked with Thule and the Pulse XL, # TH615, will fit your 2012 Nissan Rogue with factory roof rack and not cause any interference with the rear hatch. I did some research on the antenna and based on what I found the box should not interfere with the antenna either. The crossbars that run side to side are high enough that when the box is mounted on them it will be above the antenna.

If the OEM rack on your RDX meets these parameters, the box should fit. The next thing to determine would be if you'll be able to fully open your rear hatch while the box is in place. There's a measurement you can take to determine this. If your front crossbar can be slid forward...
