Question:
Thule fit pages did not show any cargo box enough long to accommodate skis for 2012 Hyundai Tucson w/ factory made crossbars. So I am wondering, if Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box TH613 can fit or if it is too long. Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
The cargo boxes listed in the Thule fit guide on line are ones that fit your 2012 Hyundai Tucson AND do not cause rear hatch interference with the hatch opened. You can use a longer cargo box but you will not be able to fully open the rear hatch. If this is not an issue for you then you can go with a longer box for your skis. So the Pulse Alpine, # TH613, will fit the crossbars, it is just long enough that on your Tucson it will interfere with opening the hatch all the way.
Other option is to use a ski carrier if you are just carrying skis. I recommend the Thule SnowPack carrier, # TH7325. It holds 6 skis or 4 snowboards, it slides out to access the items easier, and you can lock the skis in the carrier and the carrier to the roof rack. I linked a video review for you.
