Outing Highlights
PowerClick mounting and central locking
The box mounts with Thule’s PowerClick quick‑mount system—an integrated torque indicator that clicks when properly secured—and uses a central lock (locks included) compatible with the One Key System for secure on‑road carriage.
Designed to work with a range of crossbars
Built to fit multiple Thule crossbar profiles (WingBar Evo, AeroBlade, SquareBar, ProBar) and, with adapters, a number of truck and van track systems, the box is intended to accommodate a wide range of vehicle roof setups.
Spacious, forward‑positioned layout
At roughly 16 cubic feet and with internal dimensions that accept skis up to 175 cm, the cargo box offers considerable load volume (165 lb max) while sitting forward enough on the roof to preserve trunk access.
What the day feels like
How it feels to use this roof cargo box
Pickup, mount and load: the sequence is deliberately mechanical rather than theatrical. From the PowerClick clicks that confirm secure fastening, to the LockKnob that eases opening and protects the supplied Thule Comfort Key, the layout is optimized to get kit on the road quickly and keep it there safely.
