How Much Height Above Crossbar Does Thule Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box Add

Question:

The mounting points for the Thule Pulse Alpine look a bit recessed into the box itself. I see the external height of the box is 12.5 inch but how many inches does this truly add above the crossbars?

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 of your gear secure.

The Pulse Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613 is a sleek matte black color so it looks cool, but is also so durable that it comes with a lifetime warranty, meaning its the last cargo box you could ever need.

I have added a link to a video review of this cargo box for you to check out.
