It was what I expected with a feature that I didn't expect. The quick mounting clamps make it very easy to attach.

The low clearance,11 inches, allows me to put my Highlander in the garage without fear of hitting the garage door frame. I traveled 2,000 miles on a ski trip and the Pulse stayed firm. All of our skis and gear stayed dry



by:

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.



by:

my rooftop carrier! It was perfect for our golf clubs. etrailer was wonderful. Great communication and it arrived on expected date.



by:

if the box could slide up another inch the hatch would clear the back of the box. I have a 2017 Subaru Outback.
I just received the box today and have not taken it out on the road.

For the hatch to open fully with the box installed there must be at least 55.25 inches between the front cross bar and the line where the roof and hatch meet.

I found the toolbox easy to mount on the roof of the car, secure, quiet on the road. I wish I could slide 2 inches it further forward on the rack so that I could fully open the hatch. I have a Subaru outback.



by:

Very sturdy construction, yet light weight and slim cargo box. I have a P3 Volvo XC70 and it fits very nicely with the rear hatch open. I like the slim design of this cargo box which should minimize the reduction in MPGs while its on the vehicle.



by:

I'd go 3.5 if I could. Def will work but... Feels cheaply made / flimsy, the key latch also seems a little cheesy. For the amount of money I would like a little more robust. I get it keep it light but geezo



by:

Love it. Fits perfectly on my 2014 Outback and 2017 Town and Country.

Easy to install and uninstall.

Waterproof.

I like that you can not remove keys without locking. No accidentally driving off with it being shut but not locked.

Outstanding. Ive used it five times, one to two week trips. No issues in rain. On our last trip we were caught in heavy winds and snow. I did have snow accumulation inside. Speed of vehicle and wind must have forced the snow inside. Ironically Ive never had rain, under similiar driving situation, enter the carrier. After I got our stuff out I was unable to lock the carrier. Melted snow refroze in locking lugsnot the key lock did not freeze. The temperature never approached freezing....the high that week was about -5. So I took the carrier off and the same came out a few days the ice in the lug areas meleted. I was able to lock it and make it home, two days of driving, with no issues.



by:

Perfect for vehicles with limited space between bike carriers for mounting. This was the narrowest clam shell I could find. Fits 2 inflatable stand up paddle boards plus more. The only tricky thing with this unit was figuring out how to change the lock core (it's a different process than other Thule products) to match my other locks on the vehicle, but the etrailer video on this topic came to the rescue.



by:

I received the box last week and mounted it on my 2022 Toyota RAV 4 Prime installed roof rack crossbars. The box fits well, no interference with the rear lift gate. I have not yet driven with it on the car - and won’t until we travel carrying passengers and skis/equipment. (Our garage doors are small - 83” height - so the box cannot be on the roof going in or out of the garage.)



by:

The folks at your company where thoughtful, helpful and thorough. Thanks for everything and keep up your wonerful customer service. The Thule Pulse Alpine roof cargo box has been great!



by:

The Thule Alpine turned out to be a great choice. It fits all of our roof racks and is easy to adjust. More room than expected and the low profile is great if you have a larger SUV.



by:

arrived in a timely manner, freight company called to set up delivery, am satisfied with my purchase. Would buy from etrailer again!

Pod works great, got the long version 210cm, fits shovels and other tools, kayak paddles and our skis. glad I got it, keeps my truck bed free of awkward shaped things to pack it better. Got it during covid, took a while but worth the wait. etrailer is a great company Ive bought stuff from them before and will again.



by:

First, there we’re complications with the delivery which I caused and eTrailer reps worked with me and worked it out. Second, All products purchased fit and installed rather easily on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. This outcome was a result of working with one of their reps to get the right in-stock parts that fit right. Finally, I reviewed installation videos which helped me get the job done right the first time.



by:

The product is good, a bit pricy for what you get but etrailer seemed to have the most competitive price around. The service and delivery is second to none and makes me keep coming back for my vehicle needs. I have had too many bad experiences with shipping items like this from the (online big tech store), but etrailer's delivery/carrier service is excellent every time!



by:

Great rack. Low profile fits on Toyota Highlander into standard height garage. Stays on all winter for skis plus a couple times throughout the year for other trips. Fits at least four pairs of skis.



by:

Love the low profile.= less wind resistance and better mpg. Lock keeps valuables safe and dry. Exactly what I wanted.



by:

Came earlier than expected not damaged. Customer service was excellent and the pod is working out great!



by:

Great product. Great company. Reasonable delivery time. Would do business with e-trailer again! Thanks

great service and product

  • Can the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Part # RR574F Be Installed on a Cargo Basket
    The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier part # RR574F cannot be installed when using the Thule Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT. You would need to either use one or the other because they install in the same space on the crossbar. Unfortunately, we do not have a way for you attach your fishing poles to the Thule Roof Cargo Basket so it would be best to remove it and use the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier as needed. I have another potential solution. How long are your fishing rods? I have...

  • Can I Open Hatch of 2011 Subaru Outback with Thule Pulse Alpine on the Roof
    The Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box, part # TH613, is too long to open the rear hatch of your 2011 Subaru Outack. If you want to see how close you get I've linked a video that demonstrates it. For another option, the Thule Pulse Medium, part # TH614, is a little larger capacity at 14 cubic feet. There is plenty of hatch clearance with the Pulse Medium and it's listed as requiring only 42-5/8 inches between the front crossbar and hatch.

  • Comparing the Thule Pulse and Force Alpine Cargo Boxes for an Audi A4
    The Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box # TH613 is the new economy, entry-level box. It opens on one side only, is constructed of durable ABS plastic, and has easy-grip mounting feet that mount in about 5 minutes. The Force XT, # TH6356B, is a step up from the Pulse. It features a diamond textured aeroskin for added durability. It is more sleek and aerodynamic. This box uses tool-free quick-grip mounting feet. The lid opens on either side. The Pulse is 11 cubic feet and 88-1/2 inches long whereas...

  • Bike Rack for Three Bikes and Cargo Box on Yakima JetStream Crossbars
    You may be able to squeeze in three bike racks and a cargo box on the Yakima JetStream crossbars that are on your 2013 Ford F-150, it just depends on how long the crossbars are. Let's start with the bike rack first, and for your bikes I like the RockyMounts SwitchHitter LS Roof Bike Rack # RKY1270. This is a fork-mounted rack that is among the most affordable options and will work with bikes that have a wheelbase of 34" - 48", and with wheels that are 20" - 29" in diameter and up to 3"...

  • Can a Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box be Mounted to Round Yakima Crossbars
    A Thule cargo box like # TH613, will fit on Yakima round crossbars. Usually, on a cargo box page, in the specs section we will list compatibility. For the Ascent 1100, it fits Thule standard, Rapid Aero, AeroBlade and Xsporter load bars; Yakima bars; and most factory-installed luggage racks. Also make sure to check the owners manual for the capacity of the roof and do not exceed it.

  • Can Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack With 58 Inch Crossbars Hold A Roof Box And J-Style Kayak Carrier?
    The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack 58" Long # MPG216 will be able to accommodate the Yakima Sky Box NX 16 Carbonite Roof Cargo Box - 16 Cubic Feet # Y95AV along with a J-style kayak carrier. The sky box measures 35" wide, so you are left with about 23" of crossbar space for a kayak carrier. For a J-style kayak carrier, I would look into the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD which measures 17" long in the upright position. You will want to also use Malone -Slot Kit # MPG915 to mount...

  • Cargo Boxes That Will Clear Rear Hatch of 2011 Subaru Outback
    In order to determine your clearance, you will need to do some measuring. The Thule Pulse Alpine, part # TH613 offers 24 inches of rear clearance. If the distance from the middle of your rear roof crossbar is more than 24 inches, you will have sufficient clearance to open the lift gate. Yakima provides their clearance information in a different manner. They recommend you slide the front crossbar all the way forward (if it is moveable) and measure rearward to the hatch/roof seam.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Box for 2018 Audi A4 Allroad with Raised Rails
    For the factory raised side rails on your 2018 Audi A4 Allroad, I recommend the Thule WingBar Roof Rack that consists of # TH711420 for the two 53 inch WingBar Load Bars and # TH710401 for the Foot Pack. The feet on this system will clamp right onto the side rails on your vehicle. These particular bars feature dual rubber "QuickAccess" strips that do not require any trimming. Then, when selecting a roof box that will sit alongside a bike rack, I recommend going with a narrow option like...

  • Are Replacement Keys and Struts Available for Thule JetBag Cargo Box from 1990s
    I reached out to my contact at Thule who said that they typically only keep replacement parts for discontinued products for about 5 years after the fact. Since your JetBag cargo box is at least 20 years old they unfortunately don't have any replacement struts or replacement keys for that 3029A lock core you mentioned. Because of this I recommend replacing your cargo box to something a little more current like the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613. The Pulse Alpine has 11 cu ft of internal storage...

  • Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box for Tesla Model 3 with OEM Aero Roof Rack
    The Tesla OEM roof rack for the Model 3 uses elliptical type crossbars, often also called "aero" bars for their aerodynamic shape. On an electric vehicle the rack's aerodynamic drag does become more of a concern than it would be on an internal combustion vehicle. I could not find dimensions for these crossbars but all you need to do to confirm compatibility with any given cargo box is to measure the bar dimensions, width and thickness, and to also check the center-to-center spacing of...

  • Low Profile Roof Mount Cargo Basket for a 2011 Ford Escape 2011 with Factory Roof Rack
    If you are looking for a low profile roof mount basket for your 2011 Ford Escape then the Thule Canyon basket # TH859XT, is the best way to go. I think the basket design compliments the 2011 nicely. You can get a better look at this carrier by viewing the video I have linked. As long as your Escape has the adjustable crossbars, or has a crossbar spread between 20 inches and 37 inches, then this will work for you. Also take a look at the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613. It is an enclosed...

  • Will Thule Pulse Cargo Box Fit 2019 Tesla Model 3 OEM Roof Rack
    The Thule Pulse line of cargo boxes will fit with typical aero-style crossbars so they should work just fine with the OEM crossbars on your 2019 Tesla Model 3. The best way to confirm this on your end is to measure your crossbars. The Pulse cargo boxes will fit with crossbars measuring up to 3-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" tall. The Thule Pulse is available in the following options: Medium - # TH614 Large - # TH615 Alpine - # TH613

  • What is Internal Length of Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613
    I double checked with Thule and the correct interior dimensions for the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613 are the numbers they list on their site of 82.75 × 23.5 × 10.5. It looks like they may have updated them at some point and we didn't make the needed change. I sent an update to have the correct size listed.

  • Roof Top Cargo Box Orientation Recommendation for Minimum Wind Resistance on Vehicle Roof
    I would recommend you orientate the Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH613 as far to the back of the vehicle as you can when installing it on your roof if you are looking for the best aerodynamics. This will reduce air from getting underneath the front of the box while at highway speeds. I attached a review video for this box as well.

The overall weight capacity is 110 pounds. The Pulse Alpine also includes locks. I've linked a video review for you to take a look at as well.

The Thule # TH614 Pulse Cargo Box would be a fit and would allow your rear hatch to fully open without hitting the rear of the box. I've confirmed the fit with Thule.

  • Which Thule Roof Box Will Allow Rear hatch To Open Fully On 2015 Toyota 4Runner
    To make sure a roof box allows you to open the rear hatch fully, you can take a quick measurement. Move your front crossbar forward as far as it will go and measure from the center of the crossbar back to the seam between the roof and the rear hatch. That is called 'Front Clearance'. I have attached a chart that gives you the front clearance requirement for the Thule roof boxes we offer. For example, the Thule Alpine, part # TH613 needs a front clearance of 55-1/4 inches.
