Thule Pulse Cargo Box: Secure, Spacious Roof Storage for Your Vehicle

Craig N.Craig N.: The Thule rooftop carrier was the easiest and well thought out product I’ve ever used. The locking mechanism is amazing. I installed this on my car in less than 5 minutes. Might cost a little more than others but well worth it.

LBS: Use on rav4. I'm convinced the best, for the price, carrier you can get.

Scott Knecht: I was hesitant buying a no-name brand with that requires tools to mount but didn't want to spend the $$$$ for a Thule or Yakima. Amazon put the Thule on sale and I jumped on it.
Super easy tooless install and remove, it's really not flimsy as some reviews indicate, and wind noise is minor. Also free 2 day shipping with Prime and it arrived next day!

DanielDaniel: I purchased this "used like new" for $474. I had previously missed out on the deal for $398 and I am still angry at myself for not purchasing the cart. I wouldn't pay $599 new for it. People all over the country buy these and use them one time, like myself

So the good

I like that it opens from the side. My buddies opens from the back and its a huge hassle. Can't reach anything. As you can see, I used a step to get it mounted, and we traveled with a small folding step stool to make it easier to pack the top.

Because it has hinges down one side, and latches down the other, its more sturdy.

The lock is in the center, but the latch side actually latches in three places. I liked this. Solid.

The mounting system was very easy to use. There isn't a lot of parts. It will grab any oval / wing / square within its size capabilities. You shouldn't have any issues with that.

It did the job well. I think I fit more items inside the cargo top than I could in our trunk. It really is the perfect size for a CX5.

The bad (well, its not really that bad)

When its empty, its pretty floppy and it rattles a lot. This is really thin plastic so it...

Abdon: Si no acomodas bien las cosas y queda ligeramente mal acomodado, el aire hace que se abra y salgan tus cosas quedando tiradas por la carretera. Una vez bien acomodado todo no tiene problema. Contento con la compra, algo caro pero la calidad lo vale. Es algo difícil de guardar cuando no está en uso, en mi caso lo tengo que desmontar pues no es práctico traerlo en el techo todo el tiempo y mi cochera no es muy alta. Pero para viaje con equipaje de cuatro personas es más que suficiente.

Rob in Ontario: Good quality product and great design features such as the locking system and the way the crossbar clamps are installed which make it feel very secure. Relatively low noise when driving. We got the medium size which is great for a couple of golf bags and some extra soft luggage. I believe that the large size would also be a good fit for the RAV4 if you needed the extra room. Only downside which others have noted is due to its width and only being able to open the unit on one side makes it difficult to load/unload larger items.

K. FinkleK. Finkle: Dec 6th, 2020 - (Needed a larger capacity box)
I purchased:
- Thule Pulse 614 Medium Cargo Box (Just bought a Thule Pulse 615 Large Cargo Box now - See below)
- Installed on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SL 4WD
- OEM Roof Rails
- Malone Aero Roof Rack Cross Bars w/ Locks
- Thule 44" Air Screen (For Wind Noise - Does the job well & completes the look!)

*Update* After a 10 hour road Trip from SoCal to Salt Lake City, UT I have returned the Medium cargo box and purchased a Large! With a family of 5... the medium box barely held 4 standard duffle bags and other misc. items. We made it there and back though! However, with that trip, I wish I had the Large cargo box. I just tested it with the 4 standard duffle and I can see that I am able to fit another standard duffle and misc. items.

The box is well made, durable, and held up well during our trip. One thing I would like to mention, (don't make the same mistake as I did) I washed the car with the box, the night before and leave in freezing temps (LOL - Common sense, I didn't have it at the time); the tumbler and mechanisms of the lock froze shut. We had to wait until temps was above freezing to be able to...
