Review: 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 speedsβ€”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! Review: 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. ## Features - Functional rooftop cargo box provides 11 cubic feet of additional packing space - Rugged and durable design keep contents protected - FastGrip quick-mount system assembles in minutes - Passenger-side opening for easy loading and unloading - Central Locking system provides maximum safety - Thule Comfort Key can only be removed when all locking points are securely closed - Fits 4-6 skis/3-4 snowboards - External dimensions: 88.5 x 25.5 x 12.5 inches; Internal dimensions: 82.75 x 23.5 x 10.5 inches - Load capacity: 110 lbs; Product weight: 30 lbs - Height off crossbar: 11.3 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009NN46GE | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,290 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #6 in Vehicle Hard-Shell Carriers | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,772) | | Date First Available | September 22, 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00091021884298 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Volume | 11 Cubic Feet | | Item Weight | 30 pounds | | Item model number | 616100 | | Manufacturer | Thule | | Manufacturer Part Number | 613 | | Model | Pulse | | Mounting Type | Roof Mount | | OEM Part Number | 613 | | Shell Type | Hard | | UPC | 091021884298 | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thule - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 480 Ounces - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 88.5"L x 25.5"W x 12.5"H ## Images ![Thule 613 Pulse Cargo Box Alpine, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IcQzZbNwL.jpg) ![Thule 613 Pulse Cargo Box Alpine, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vWmlZzX1L.jpg) ![Thule 613 Pulse Cargo Box Alpine, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616EYmBcObL.jpg) ![Thule 613 Pulse Cargo Box Alpine, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W4xsMnmHL.jpg) ![Thule 613 Pulse Cargo Box Alpine, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71moN2lb3hL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you think this box will fit a 2023 Kia Telluride without obstructing the tailgate door from opening completely?** A: Thank you for your interest in the Thule Pulse cargo carrier. The factory-installed crossbars on the 2023 Kia Telluride are certified as a compatible fit for the Thule Pulse cargo carrier series. However, fit only certifies a secure attachment to the crossbars based on the size, shape and weight capacity. You will just need to check the front clearance of the crossbars to see what size cargo carrier will fit on the vehicle without interfering with opening the rear door. You will need to measure from the middle of the front crossbar to the furthest-forward part of the liftgate and compare it to the measurements in the Hatch Clearance Guide in the "Application Guide" PDF in the "Product guides and documents" section of the cargo carrier product page on Amazon. **Q: Will this mount to 80/20 extruded aluminum?** A: It will fit to round, square or I mounted it on oval shaped bars made of aluminum without any modification. Stays put. I just finished an 1800 mile trip with it, no issues. Just be very careful when locking/unlocking it, some reviewers say that they have had problems with the lock breaking. I can see where this could happen if you're not careful. Be gentle and it will be fine. **Q: will this fit a 2021 Subaru Outback?** A: I put it in my 2013 Outback. Thule has a great website with a fitting guide that gives the exact model number to come back and purchase, in addition, it tells you how to set it up and how to distribute weight, etc... **Q: I have a 2020 Tucson with Brightlines aftermarked racks. Will this cargo box fit nicely?** A: Thule’s website has a fit guide where you can measure and determine if it will ft. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Travel Companion – Sturdy, Spacious, and Easy to Use! *by L***N on May 28, 2025* I recently purchased the Thule Pulse M cargo box for a family road trip, and it exceeded all my expectations.

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.
