Thule Pulse M Cargo Box (614) Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

You have come to the point in your life were you need more cargo space for your vehicle. The problem is what to get. There are some many options out there. Brands, sizes, ect. You have heard Thule cargo boxes are good but you have never seen one up close. Will it fit you car? Does it have the features you are looking for?
That is where this video can help you. In it I review the Thule Pulse M cargo box on my 2015 Subaru Forester. I was once in your place wondering so I made this video to share things I like and things I wish I had know before buying the Thule Pulse M cargo box.
But to find out what those are you are going to have to watch.

    ended up getting a Thule Force Medium (which isn't current anymore - only the Large size and bigger) - but found it new....a bit more $$$ than Pulse...but opens both sides...but most of all..like the look of the AeroSkin... on car now...still haven't seen a Pulse in person...only in videos like yours. Thanks again for helping. Will keep the box on 100% of the time I think...

    Great job. Useful. Covers useful points. Good pacing. Only tweak is that sometimes it's good to temporarily pull the camera back for context. The close up work is well done, but occasionally pulling back can help for context and perspective. Then go back close :)

    Thank you for this video. Was getting ready to order and I was wondering about reaching the mounts on opposite side. I’m only 5’3”, and seeing your reach standing on the seat worries me. I know someone mentioned step stool, can you safely reach the opposite side using a ladder? I always have a ladder available at packing and unpacking. I do like the price point on this one as well.

    A step ladder might have you leaning over a little too much for comfort. Then again I am not a fan of heights and even a little ways up freaks me out. I did end up picking something up to get the the mounts on the far side of the cargo box. If you are interested I just did a review of it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2apl5OKftjFh8Y.html

    thanks for the review. I just installed my Pulse M today on my Outback for an upcoming 2,500km round trip. Did you find the cargo straps are helpful or not worth dealing with? They seem to be a bit of an afterthought when I installed them today.

    Depending on how much you put up there the cargo straps are kind of an afterthought. I have done at where I put one piece of luggage up there and strap that down to keep it from moving around too much but if you tightly pack you shouldn't have to worry.

    You could probably get a four-person tent in it. Or three adult size sleeping bags. I generally put 2 long weekend bags and laundry stuff up there. It really just depends on the size and shape of your bags.
