Thule Cargo Box Comparison

If you're looking for a Thule Cargo Box for your vehicle to carry luggage, skis, camping gear or other fun stuff, we've got an entire selection of luggage carriers to choose from. 
Choosing the right cargo box for your vehicle may feel a bit overwhelming.  That's why we've decided to help you make the right decision with a cargo box comparison.
Thule currently has 3 different lines within their cargo carrier lineup. They are the Atlantis, Ascent and Easy Snap Lines.  Additionally, Thule also their premium box, the Boxter.

Thule Atlantis Cargo Boxes
The Atlantis boxes offer the widest range of sizes of all of the lines from a 12 cubic foot 685XT, all the way up to the 21 cubic foot 688XT.  They are offered in both a glossy black and metallic silver finish.  In 2009, Thule made improvements to the Atlantis Line by including a reinforced lid, and ergonomic locking knobs that are easier to operate in cold weather with gloves.  Quick Grip mounting hardware - the easiest to use of all boxes - and a sleek, aerodynamic design round out the features of our best selling cargo box line.

Thule Ascent Cargo Boxes
The Ascent series is a value minded box finished in a matte black with premium features.  Ascent boxes come in various sizes, including a short, 15 cu. ft. box, and a low-profile box for people with low garage clearance.  This series also includes the dual-sided opening, and the Quick Grip mounting hardware.  We feel the Ascent line represents an excellent overall value.

Time Travel Series with Easy Snap Hardware
Standard boxes with passenger side opening and heavy-duty, matte black finish make up the Time Travel Series.  Now, these 3 boxes are equipped with EasySnap hardware, eliminating the old carriage bolt and plate hardware of years past.  While not as adjustable as the Quick Grip hardware, these boxes mount easily to any style of crossbar and are priced for any budget.

The table below will give you information about fitting your vehicle.  If you're not sure which roof cargo carrier will work for you, or how it will attach to your existing rack system, please don't hesitate to call us or contact us.  We'll be happy to help.  After all, what's most important to us is making sure you have the right parts - 100% of the time.
