Thule force roof box review.

The cargo box is 47 lb and has a 165 lb load capacity. This is a total of 212 lbs which far exceeds the 150 lb roof rack limit specified by subaru. Plus the 300 litre of space is very useable despite the powerclick adjusters intruding somewhat. The front of these boxes don t ever seem to fit together correctly particularly when there is external force applied.

Thule generally has great products but the force cargo box line was made with a horrible design flaw. The base has a lip that the cover extends over but even sitting on the garage floor the cover didn t entirely close. 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. The thule force xt sport is a good choice as an occasional roof box so for instance if you re likely to only need it a few times a year for holidays or trips away.

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 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. The thule force cargo box is one of the best thule cargo boxes.
