Perfect Travel Companion – Sturdy, Spacious, and Easy to Use!
I recently purchased the Thule Pulse M cargo box for a family road trip, and it exceeded all my expectations. First off, installation was a breeze. It took less than 10 minutes to mount it securely on my SUV's roof rack, and everything felt solid and stable from the get-go. The Pulse M offers the perfect amount of extra space for our gear. We packed two large suitcases, beach toys, golf clubs and a few smaller bags with room to spare. It's amazing how much it holds without feeling oversized or bulky. What really impressed me was how well it handled at highway speeds—no rattling, no excessive noise, and no noticeable impact on fuel efficiency. The aerodynamic design really makes a difference. The locking mechanism is secure and easy to use, giving me peace of mind when leaving the vehicle unattended. The single-side opening is super convenient and made loading and unloading simple, even in tight parking lots. Overall, this cargo box turned out to be an excellent investment. It's rugged, reliable, and has already made our travels so much more comfortable. If you're looking for a durable and stylish solution for extra storage, the Thule Pulse M is absolutely worth it!

One year of use and still going!
Bought this for long trips as we have 3 kids and a dog -- so we need more space even though we have a large SUV. - Overall great product. Fits bags, sleeping bags, etc. Easy to set up. Light enough that I can easily take on/off the car though not sure my wife could. I'm not really sure why you would buy a more expensive one unless you needed a bigger size. Size is pretty much perfect for my family needs. - Latching onto the car roof rack is simple. Seems like it would fit any roof rack bars -- we tried it on our SUV standard ones and our aftermarket bars. Locks on and stays tight entire trip. For long trips I do tie it down too just in case because I am paranoid on fast highways with these things but its stayed perfectly tight so what Im doing is overkill -- but better safe than sorry. - Only real pain is trying to lock it. Its like there is a fine line between everything being too loose or too tight and then when I close and try to lock it, I have to lift up the lid and readjust. Not sure I've ever had one of these that made that easy but there has got to be a way haha. - I assume this will last forever and I'd say its a good in between model between the really cheap and really expensive ones. Makes that perfect for me. I didn't want to cheap out but also didn't need to spend $1200 either. - Finally I can fit this on my SUV and still fit my surfboards or slim cage next to it -- that was a goal of mine and it works with my 60" crossbars easily.

I really love it!
I've put this on my new 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid, I keep it on the vehicle full time. It's light enough to remove when not needed but storing it is an issue in my case. Driving around town at 50 mph and under I see no difference in fuel economy. Highway driving I can't give very accurate results since my vehicle is new and don't have very much pre-installation history. I did a 250 mile trip at 70-85 mph with heave AC use and got 34 mph, regular 50 mile trips at 60-75 with light or no AC use gets nets me 38-40 mpg. I've read concerns about it being flimsy and it is, that's where the light weight comes from. But once installed it takes on the sturdy feel of the crossbars it's attached to. The attachment assembly is very easy to use and seems to stay in place without much adjustment. I will say over a month or so, I have been able to get 1/8th of a turn or so out of each knob but what I do like is at a glance you can see the status of the attachments under the crossbars and know for a fact you're safe. I'm a "remove all doubt" kind of guy so I tie my unit down to the crossbars with 1/4" black nylon rope in a box/criss cross pattern just for that extra peace of mind that it's not going to take flight at 80 mph. Also, My crossbars are rated at 220lbs and this unit is rated at 110lbs, I suspect because of how the attachment devices are positioned in slits in the bottom and the potential for them to cut loose of those slits if there's too much weight in the box. My thought is that my tie down rope removes that possibility because it's secured to the crossbars, and assisting the boxes attachments in keep it on the car. It's water proof, Ive driven through heave rains AND regular car washes, not a drop of water get's in. The lock is a little sticky, just get a little tube of graphite as Thule recommends and that will take care of that. The locking assembly is tricky but it gives you the feeling of security when it does lock, and it's only finicky when locking, not unlocking. Make note of your key number.... 2 Spare keys and a master key are available on Amazon for $10, The hinges beat back and forth against the box when underway and empty, it's only noticeable when you have a sunroof / moonroof open. It's easily corrected by placing some adhesive backed foam at the touch-points on the inside of the box. I'm a success focused kind of person and as long as the fundamentals are in line with my expectations, I'm more than happy to work out a few small kinks to get full satisfaction out of my product. Having been through two cargo racks and two rooftop cargo bags before finding what I really wanted on top of my car, I can tell you I really love this cargo box. Thanks Thule

This will be great for Camping and other road trips. It is very easy to mount on top of the crossbars on my Rav4. I would advise keeping large light things up there that you will be able to reach when you dont have a ladder to reach across to the far side. like sleeping bags, pillows etc. Great product!

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.

Estuvimos buscando algo funcional y necesario, ya que al levantar la tercera fila de asientos, necesitábamos más espacio de carga, ha quedado muy bien, vamos a ver durante su uso como se desempeña, más adelante estaré dando mi opinión nuevamente. Luce muy bonito, perfecto para entrar y salir del estacionamiento de la casa, nada estorboso, y muy ligero para subirlo y ponerlo en la camioneta
