Question:
Looking for a box for a 2015 Toyota Highlander. Trying to decide between Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, and Thule Pulse 614. They are about the same dimensions and weight. Any advantage to one over the other?

Expert Reply:
The two boxes you mentioned are very similar, but the edge The Yakima # Y07192 has over the Thule Pulse # TH614 is the way the box installs.
The Yakima allows you to set the box on your crossbars, open the mounting hardware and then slide the box back on to the crossbar and then tighten the mounting hardware.
The Thule requires the mounting hardware to be opened and then set on the bars with the mounting hardware centered over the crossbar at the same time.
I attached review videos for both boxes for you to check out as well.
