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:

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



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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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 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:

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:

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:

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:

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



by:

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



by:

Faster than expected delivery! Great product and price!

It’s OK. The lock seems weak. Time will tell.

Everything as advertised. Thanks!

  • Recommended Roof Rack System to Use with Thule Compass on 2017 Honda Ridgeline
    Yes. The Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style, Post Style, or Saddle - 2 Kayaks or SUPs # TH890000 is a universal fit kayak carrier, so it will fit on the crossbars of the Rhino Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR99TR. The ROC25 kit is a very nice roof rack kit and it gives a more factory roof rack look since the bars don't extend outside of the towers, so it really just depends on the aesthetic you're looking for.

  • What Rooftop Cargo Box Do You Recommend For My 2007 Subaru Outback Impreza Wagon Sport
    I can definitely find you a rooftop cargo box that will fit your 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon and be long enough to carry your 180 cm skis. My recommended rooftop cargo box is the Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - High Gloss Black, part # RRRMFZ66. It is long enough that you can carry your skis, but it is short enough that you will be able to access the rear of your vehicle while carrying the Zenith. In order to have access to the rear of your vehicle the front crossbar...

  • Will the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box Work on a Subaru Crosstrek

  • 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 Two 30 Inch Wide Kayaks Fit on Lower Deck of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
    I don't believe your two 30 inch wide kayaks will fit on the bottom deck of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 . I confirmed through my contact at Yakima that the width of the bottom deck is 54 inches inside to inside of the 2 inch diameter tubing that make up the frame. Because the bottom deck has a height of 21 inches, you would not be able to fit your 30 inch wide kayaks on their side, as you mentioned. You could, however, fit one on the bottom and a second or third...

  • 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.

  • Thule Cargo Box Recommendation that Allows Rear Hatch to Open
    To determine if the Thule Pulse Alpine Roof Cargo Box part # TH613 will allow the rear hatch of your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon with factory crossbars to open will require you to take one simple measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the front crossbar back to the seam on the hatch. If that distance is greater than 55-1/4 inches this box will allow the rear door to open. We had a customer with a similar 2015 Subaru Outback tell us that the distance they have there was 51...

  • Fitting a Cargo Box to a 2016 Acura MDX
    You have a couple of options for this situation. Prior to any changes, I'd take a minute and get the full clearance that you have on your vehicle. To get this, you'll measure from the center of the front bar to the line where your roof meets the hatch. This is your available clearance, and your roof boxes will need to have a clearance requirement of less than this measurement to fit. You can check the measurement of your Evolution box by measuring from the center of the rear mounting...

  • Will the Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box Interfere with the Rear Hatch on a 2014 Subaru Forester
    I spoke to my contact at Thule and she told me that the best way for you to determine if you have enough clearance would be to open the hatch on your 2014 Subaru Forester and measure from the crossbar back to the nearest portion of the hatch. If that distance is greater than 26 inches then the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613 should fit without interference. The reason for this is that when the rear mounting bracket is slid into the rear-most position it measures 26 inches...

  • Roof Mount Cargo Box to Accommodate 36 Inch Crossbar Spread
    The crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. Based on the inner and outer measurements you provided, it seems that your crossbar spread is 36 inches. If this is the case, I have a solution for you, but the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 will not work for your roof rack's 36 inch crossbar spread. The Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo # Y07334 is designed to work with roof racks that have a crossbar spread between 24 - 42 inches....

  • Thule Roof Cargo Box for 2011 Honda CR-V with Factory Crossbars to Carry 4 Pair of Skis
    I suggest the Thule Pulse Alpine, part # TH613, for your 2011 Honda CR-V. It's confirmed by Thule to fit the factory crossbars and can hold 4 to 6 pairs of skis that are up to 210 cm long. 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.

Thule confirmed the roof box to be a fit for your vehicle. I have attached a review video of the Pulse Alpine # TH613 box on a similar Grand Cherokee with factory roof rack for you.

    Yes, the Replacement Fast Grip Clamp # TH94JV can be used with round bars.

These work with round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars.

  • Thule Roof Cargo Boxes That Fit a 2014 Subaru Forester with OEM Roof Rack
    All of the Thule roof cargo boxes that we carry will essentially fit your 2014 Subaru Forester with the OEM roof rack. If you check out the attached installation video of the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 you can see that it still clears the rear hatch on a 2015 Forester, which has the same dimensions as your 2014 Forester. Since this cargo box requires the most clearance it means that anything smaller will fit. I confirmed this with Thule as well. I recommend going with the Force XT that...

This rack is aerodynamic, all black, and looks as though it was from the factory so it will look great on your Durango. Now for a cargo box that won't interfere with the opening of your hatch.

  • 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...

  • Does Thule Cargo Cargo come with Crossbars, Make Noise on Roof, Resist Water
    The Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box, part # TH613, which you reference, does not come with crossbars. It sounds like you have factory rails so to complete your roof rack system I recommend the Thule WingBars roof rack system, parts # TH711200 and # TH710401. These crossbars are some of the quietest bars on the market and do not sacrifice strength. I have included a video of this rack installed on a different vehicle for you to check out.

  • Does Wind Fairing Help Ski Rack Stop Whistling so Much
    A wind fairing really won't help to stop the noise coming from a ski rack, as it won't direct the air flow over the rack. The whistling is likely mostly coming from between the bars where it clamps onto your skis, but also on the top of the ski rack. While any accessory on top of your roof is going to make some noise, if you really cannot live how bad the whistling is (like on longer trips), then the only other thing I can think of would be to stop using the ski rack and instead put your...

  • How Much Height Above Crossbar Does Thule Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box Add
    You have a keen eye because the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613 is recessed; I checked with Thule and this cargo box will add 11.3 inches of height above your crossbar, making it one of the lowest-profile rooftop cargo boxes on the market. Aside from its low-profile the Pulse Alpine is also among the easiest cargo boxes to handle because it weighs just 30 lbs. It is simple to use with mounting hardware that you only need to tighten with hand knobs and even locks to keep all...

    Yes! The Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo box # TH613 will fit your 2013 Toyota Rav4 without interfering with your hatch. When installing this cargo box there are a couple of points to keep in mind. First is that the minimum crossbar spread should be 23-5/8 inches. If your crossbars do not move to accommodate the installation, the attachment points inside the cargo box have an adjustability of about 8 inches. Secondly, this cargo box has a weight capacity of 110 lbs. Either your owners manual...
