It s exactly what you expect from thule.
Thule force roof box review.
The convenient dual side access allows you to open the box from both the driver and passenger side which is a big bonus as it is not always practical to use one side of your car.
Two full size suitcases and two carryons which fit nicely into the cargo box can easily be 150 lb on their own.
Plus the 300 litre of space is very useable despite the powerclick adjusters intruding somewhat.
Thule generally has great products but the force cargo box line was made with a horrible design flaw.
The largest xl comes in at 56 pounds which is a fair weight to move around despite the five thick layers of abs plastic that make up the diamond textured aeronskin shell.
The base has a lip that the cover extends over but even sitting on the garage floor the cover didn t entirely close.
It s sturdy well built and secure.
The thule force cargo box is one of the best thule cargo boxes.
This is a total of 212 lbs which far exceeds the 150 lb roof rack limit specified by subaru.
The front of these boxes don t ever seem to fit together correctly particularly when there is external force applied.
The thule force xt roof box includes a clever opening system called the lockknob and the thule comfort key can be used on either side of the box.
