A Blend of Design, Convenience and Style

The Thule Force Roof Box product line is designed from the ground up to provide users with a dependable and durable product that can be counted on to last for the long haul. It succeeds in this by blending a convenient, feature-rich design, with value and space. The box's dominant design feature is its diamond-textured AeroSkin shell, constructed from durable five-layer ABS plastic. The lid holds up to the toughest weather conditions, and thanks to its aerodynamic shape, which pushes air away from the box encouraging smoother air flow, it can be left on year-round without a significant increase in noise. The reduction in drag through the aerodynamic design may also negate any impact to vehicle fuel efficiency. The Thule Force lid also offers the convenience of dual-side access. This means you can get to your gear whether you are on the driver, or the passenger side of the vehicle. And when the lid is open the its built-in lifter elements at the front and rear of the box hold the box open for you for hands-free access to gear. When you are done with your box, simply pull the lid closed, and built-in Thule SecureLock technology ensures that all edges of the lid are completely closed, and included locking functionality at the drivers side of the box ensure that it stays that way.

Diamond-textured AeroSkin lid design decreases wind-resistance, producing a quieter ride, and perhaps improved MPG.

Simple Quick-Grip Mounting Hardware and Varied Box Sizes

Thule Force cargo boxes attach easily to roof racks via Quick-Grip knob hardware along raised grooves in the floor of the box. The tool-free mounting capability of Quick-Grip hardware, and the range of the box's floor grooves make installation of the box a snap, literally installing in less than 5 minutes in many applications. The downward/inward clamping mechanism of the Quick-Grip hardware also makes the Thule Force compatible with virtually any Thule rack system, and most factory racks. Finally, the Thule force does not skimp on style or stowage capacity. All versions of the box are designed exclusively in a sleek, low-profile matte black AeroSkin finish that complements any vehicle. The Thule Force 624 L version provides 13 cubic feet of storage space. All told, it is available in four different Thule size categories. These categories can be used help consumers determine which box is right for them: Alpine (11-12 cubic feet), Large - L (13-14 cubic feet), X-Large - XL (16-17 cubic feet), and XX-Large - XXL (21-22 cubic feet).

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

Great product - Highly recommend

Great product - Highly recommend
Did a lot of research to try to figure out the best rooftop cargo box to purchase for 8,000+ mile road trip. Finally settled on this one based on prior reviews, size and price. Delivery was superb. It was scheduled for 7:00AM - 9:00AM and at 6:45AM, I received a phone call saying the driver will arrive in 30 minutes. Sure enough, the driver was at my door before 7:15AM and the product was delivered hassle free.On the floor, it appears really large and I questioned whether or not I made the right choice in selecting the XXL. However, once I mounted it to the top of my 2011 Nissan Armada, it was a perfect fit and allowed me to open the lift gate as well as the sunroof without issues. Loading was easy and we were able to fit all of our bags, for a family of two adults and four kids (3 teenagers and a pre-teen).On the road, there was no noticeable wind noise even with the radio off. Most of the states we traveled through had posted speed limit of 70 - 75 mph and I often stayed 5 - 10 miles over the post speed limit. The impact in terms of fuel was negligible and I estimate maybe a loss of 1/5 miles per gallon. This could be because of the added weight more so than the carrier itself as we had two coolers fully loaded inside the car, cases of water, juices and other items as well as the bags loaded into the carrier.Our road trip took us from West Palm Beach FL to Atlanta GA, St. Louis MO, Yellowstone National Park WY, Seattle WA, San Francisco CA, Yosemite National Park CA, Los Angeles CA, San Diego CA, Las Vegas NV, Grand Canyon, AZ, New Orleans LA and back to West Palm Beach. While driving through Wyoming, we encountered heavy rain and high winds. The carrier held up great. No water got inside and all of our belongings were safe and dry. On the way back, we hit heavy thunderstorms around Childress, TX and again, no water got inside the carrier. The only issue I experience through both storms is the impact of the high winds. However, this was also the case when driving through the mountains of Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon and California and is expected. To compensate, I decreased my speed and the wind impact wasn't as great.Also, loved the fact that it opens on both sides, so when the valet guy pulled up in the left lane and the passenger side of SUV was in lane of other cars pulling in and out of the hotel, I was able to just go on the drivers side and load from there. Also, safety feature that allows locking only when all latch points are line up and engaged makes it great and the fact that you cannot remove the key unless all latch points are engaged and locked is the best part. The carrier is flexible so depending on how much stuff is loaded inside, you can slightly twist the shape to make the overlapping top fit the bottom.To load on top of the car will require two people as it is long and has a bit of weight to it. Loading it onto the SUV was easy and took less than five minutes, once I pre-adjusted my crossbars.In conclusion, I do not regret my purchase and can't imagine how I would have been able to do this trip without the carrier as it freed up valuable space inside the car for juices, snacks, etc. and allowed everyone the comfortable space needed for this long trip. I highly recommend this rooftop carrier for the size, the price and the performance.
