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:

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:

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



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:

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:

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:

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 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:

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:

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 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:

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 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:

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:

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



by:

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

great service and product

  • Roof Rack for Thule Summit Rooftop Cargo Box on 2012 VW Passat
    The roof racks we offer for the 2012 VW Passat sedan do have varying weight ratings, from 100-lbs to 165-lbs, and you can see all on the linked page. The one I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex black bar rack made of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK323. This great looking rack has the quiet aero bars and the maximum 165-lb weight rating. This rack will have nearly a 30-inch bar spread which will give excellent stability for the cargo box. The Thule Summit 91-inch roof cargo box...

  • 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...

  • Options for an Enclosed Ski and Snowboard Carrier
    I believe you are looking for an enclosed rooftop ski and snowboard carrier. We carry several different cargo boxes that can hold snowboards and skis and protect them from the elements. I have attached a link to all of our cargo boxes for you to check out. All of the cargo boxes we carry were designed to fit a variety of different crossbars from square and round to elliptical and OEM crossbars. One of our most popular cargo boxes for skis and snowboards is the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop...

  • Width of Thule Pulse Alpine With Lid Opened
    The Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 is about 25-1/2 inches wide but when you open the lid it's not much wider. I reached out to Thule and they said that there is no change in width when the lid is open. The lid does not open a full 90 degrees so this helps the width stay to a minimum so you can put other accessories on top like a rooftop bike rack # RBC036.

  • Will The Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box Fit a 2013 Mazda 3 Hatchback without Hatch Interference
    To determine if the Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box # TH613 will fit your 2013 Mazda 3 without hatch interference you will need to take a measurement. Measure from the center of the front crossbar straight back to the seam between the top of the hatch and the roof. If that measurement is greater than 55-1/4 inches, the box will fit. The Pulse Alpine measures 25-1/2 inches wide so it is possible, depending on the usable width available on the crossbars, to mount an additional item. However,...

  • Roof Rack, Cargo Box and SUP Carrier for 2013 Honda Pilot
    We can help you get your 2013 Honda Pilot set for hauling your cargo items. Let's start with the roof rack. Your Pilot could have either raised front-to-back side rails on the roof or a bare roof with no hardware or fixtures. You can use the linked page to select which you have and you'll then see the rack options for that roof type. If you have the raised rails the rack I suggest is the Rhino-Rack Vortex rack made of parts # RRVA137B-2 and # RRSX100. This rack's aerodynamic bars will...

  • Does Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box Fit Factory Crossbars of 2013 Mazda CX-5
    Yes I checked with Thule and the Pulse Alpine # TH613 is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2013 Mazda CX-5. I attached a review video for this box installed on a similar 2015 CX-5 setup as yours as well.

  • Which Thule Roof Box Will Allow Rear hatch To Open Fully On 2015 Toyota 4Runner
    To make sure a roof box allows you to open the rear hatch fully, you can take a quick measurement. Move your front crossbar forward as far as it will go and measure from the center of the crossbar back to the seam between the roof and the rear hatch. That is called 'Front Clearance'. I have attached a chart that gives you the front clearance requirement for the Thule roof boxes we offer. For example, the Thule Alpine, part # TH613 needs a front clearance of 55-1/4 inches. And will fit...

  • Cargo Boxes That Will Clear Rear Hatch of 2011 Subaru Outback
    In order to determine your clearance, you will need to do some measuring. The Thule Pulse Alpine, part # TH613 offers 24 inches of rear clearance. If the distance from the middle of your rear roof crossbar is more than 24 inches, you will have sufficient clearance to open the lift gate. Yakima provides their clearance information in a different manner. They recommend you slide the front crossbar all the way forward (if it is moveable) and measure rearward to the hatch/roof seam.

  • Will Thule Pulse Cargo Box Fit 2019 Tesla Model 3 OEM Roof Rack
    The Thule Pulse line of cargo boxes will fit with typical aero-style crossbars so they should work just fine with the OEM crossbars on your 2019 Tesla Model 3. The best way to confirm this on your end is to measure your crossbars. The Pulse cargo boxes will fit with crossbars measuring up to 3-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" tall. The Thule Pulse is available in the following options: Medium - # TH614 Large - # TH615 Alpine - # 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.

  • Could Thule Summit Cargo Box Fit on Malone Roof Rack of 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
    We used to carry the Thule Summit replacement hardware with the part number TH04997 but it is currently not available to us any more. It was also listed as part number 1500056229. If you can find it elsewhere it will fit and work great on the Malone AirFlow 2 roof rack part number # MPG216 that is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon with raised rails.

    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.

  • Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box for Tesla Model 3 with OEM Aero Roof Rack
    The Tesla OEM roof rack for the Model 3 uses elliptical type crossbars, often also called "aero" bars for their aerodynamic shape. On an electric vehicle the rack's aerodynamic drag does become more of a concern than it would be on an internal combustion vehicle. I could not find dimensions for these crossbars but all you need to do to confirm compatibility with any given cargo box is to measure the bar dimensions, width and thickness, and to also check the center-to-center spacing of...

  • Will the Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box Fit a 2012 Hyundai Tucson with Factory Crossbars
    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...

    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...

    Among the lowest-profile rooftop cargo boxes available are the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613, which is 12-1/2-inches tall as compared to most similar boxes that are 14- to 18-inches tall. The 16-cubic-foot Yakima Skybox NX 16 # Y95AV that you referenced is 16-inchs tall.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Thule Alpine Roof Box?
    There are different types of Thule Alpine roof boxes, but you could possibly have the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613. If it had a Fast Grip clamp which uses a knob to tighten it down, then # TH94JV is the replacement part for you. If it is the Thule Force Alpine, then you would need replacement Quick Grip Mounts # TH05738. If you could send me pictures of your rooftop cargo box, we can verify which Thule Alpine roof box it is to make sure you get the correct replacement parts.

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.

If you need to carry long objects like skis, and the fact that you will need to be careful opening the hatch does not bother you, the Pulse Alpine would work for you.

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.

  • Roof Top Cargo Box Orientation Recommendation for Minimum Wind Resistance on Vehicle Roof
    I would recommend you orientate the Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH613 as far to the back of the vehicle as you can when installing it on your roof if you are looking for the best aerodynamics. This will reduce air from getting underneath the front of the box while at highway speeds. I attached a review video for this box as well.
