Easy to set up and use
If you need a bit of extra room on your trips, this box is perfect. Currently being used on my wife’s Impreza and she loves it! First use was on a 7 hour drive and basically forgot it was there, no noise and minimal wind resistance when set up properly.

The Thule Plus M is Great!
This is a great basic carrier. I didn't need all the features some of the more expensive models have like opening from both sides. It holds a lot, and it is pretty quiet on top of my Jeep Wrangler. Quality is just what you expect, "Top Notch"

Perfect
Bought this for a camping trip up at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The carrier performed perfectly. Installation on my 2019 Rav 4 Adventure with OEM roof rack was quick and easy. Carrier was secure the whole trip with no adjustments needed. No noticeable wind drag or drop in gas mileage. Loading and unloading was easy relatively speaking. So far I am a happy customer.

Average
Sure good roof box but they give you these stupid small keys that are so flimsy and crap. Beyond frustrating !!!

Very spacious
Ive used this a few times on car camping trips and wasn't expecting it to hold too much, since my car is on the smaller side(Subaru Impreza) but its amazing. Easily accessible and perfect for all weather. Went through snow, rain, and 100+ degrees with all my belongings safe. LOVE IT

Not the Thule I had before...
I bought a Thule box in 2009, it has been the most wonderful box ever. It was irreparably damaged to the point that I had to purchase a new one. The new box that I purchased looked the same, but the material that it is made out of is thinner/lighter than my old box, and it opens only one way. My old one was built better, and more functional, and more safe since you could access it from both sides rather than just one. The locking mechanism is the same. I hope to get the years of service out of my new box that I have out of my old one.

Poorly Designed
I recently bought the new Thule Pulse and was shocked to learn that it only opened on one side. That makes it much more difficult to load items into the unit. On top of that, it secures to the vehile by screwing in (4) clamps. Due to the unit only opening on one side, it is VERY difficult to even reach the back clamps. Also, the screw part of the clamps sticks up about 3 inches. That makes it more difficult to store things around the clamps. For instance, I was trying to load golf clubs and I had to put them on top of the screw-in part of the clamp. I was not able to load them into one side and slide them to the other. Of course, without being able to open the other side of the unit, and then rasiing them up onto the clamps, it was very difficult to load the golf clubs into the unit. My neihbor has a Thule that secures with a snap down clamp that does not stick up like the pulse and causes much less interference with the items being loaded.

Clamp system works Great!
The decription is accurate the box holds up to 5 sets of skis with poles just took a little organizing. the clamping system went on my factory Bronco cross bars with no problems and they are huge improvement over the clamping system on my 15 year old Thule.
