How Much of a Dip in Fuel Economy Can You Expect When Adding a Thule Pulse Cargo Carrier to a Roof
Updated 06/08/2023 | Published 06/07/2023
Question:
I have a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and according to Toyota I get 19 miles per gallon on the highway. Do you have any information to indicate the miles per gallon on the highway I can expect if I were to purchase and install the Thule 615 Pulse Rack, Large on my vehicle?

Expert Reply:
There are not any set numbers for how much of a dip you may see in your miles per gallon with the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 on your 2021 Toyota 4Runner.
There have been some test done and most indicate that you will see around a 15% drop in fuel economy. Obviously that percentage can fluctuate up and down depending on the travel conditions.
