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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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

  • 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...

  • Comparing the Thule Pulse and Force Alpine Cargo Boxes for an Audi A4
    The Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box # TH613 is the new economy, entry-level box. It opens on one side only, is constructed of durable ABS plastic, and has easy-grip mounting feet that mount in about 5 minutes. The Force XT, # TH6356B, is a step up from the Pulse. It features a diamond textured aeroskin for added durability. It is more sleek and aerodynamic. This box uses tool-free quick-grip mounting feet. The lid opens on either side. The Pulse is 11 cubic feet and 88-1/2 inches long whereas...

  • 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.

  • Thule Pulse Alpine Roof Mounted Cargo Box for 2008 Honda CRV
    The Thule Pulse Alpine Roof Mounted Black Cargo Box would be a fit for your 2008 Honda CRV, but the length of the box would cause some interference with the hatch, which would prevent you from opening the hatch fully. 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. The Thule Pulse Medium, part # TH614 is actually a bit larger at 14 cubic feet, but it is short enough that...

  • Fit & Compatibility of Rooftop Cargo Carrier for Factory Installed Roof Rack on a 2015 Honda Odyssey
    The maximum load for your vehicle is 1,340 lbs this includes passengers and cargo.

    Yes, the Replacement Fast Grip Clamp # TH94JV can be used with round bars. The Replacement Fast Grip Clamp # TH94JV is the correct replacement clamp for Thule Pule Cargo Boxes, like the Thule Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613. These work with round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars.

  • How to Determine Which Replacement Thule Key is Needed
    We offer Thule replacement keys. Look at the face of the lock, next to the key slot. There should be a number stamped or engraved into the metal. It'll typically an 'N' followed by 3 or 4 digits. That number will tell you what key number you need. For instance, say the number on the lock is 'N030' like what's shown in the photo I provided. In that case, the part number for the replacement key would be # THKEYN030. Use the prefix 'THKEYN' followed by the 3 or 4 digit number on the lock.

  • 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...

  • What Cargo Bag and Cargo Box do You Recommend for My 30-Inch Crossbar Spread on My 2012 Mazda 5?
    If you have crossbars that are 30 inches apart on your 2012 Mazda 5, the best option for a cargo bag is the Rightline Ace Jr Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 10 cu ft - 36" x 30" x 16" # RL100A50. Since the dimensions of the Ace Jr measure 36" long x 30" wide, you will be able to mount the bag sideways (with the straps toward the front and back of the vehicle) between your crossbars. However, since it will be a close fit, you may have to tuck a little bit of the edges under the front...

Thule has confirmed that the mounting hardware for these boxes will fit well on the Expedition's crossbars.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Volkswagen CC for a Thule Ascent 1100 Cargo Box
    In order to use the Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box, # TH613, you will first need to install a roof rack on your 2011 Volkswagen CC. I recommend the all new Rhino-Rack Vortex bars because they produce significantly less drag and wind noise compared to other bars on the market. They also have a sleek modern design that would compliment your CC. You will need # RR84GR.

  • 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...

  • Narrower Cargo Box Recommendation for Fitting Next to Kayak Rack
    For a narrower cargo box we have the Thule Pulse Alpine part # TH613 which is 25-1/2 inches overall wide.

The 16-cubic-foot Yakima Skybox NX 16 # Y95AV that you referenced is 16-inchs tall.
