MADE IN THE U.S.A.
Get all that luggage & gear out of the car and up on the rooftop! The Thule 603 Ascent 1500 Roof Box is part of the all-new Thule Ascent cargo box series, delivering the ultimate combination of value and feature-packed gear transport convenience & rugged durability. The Thule 603 Ascent cargo box is the shortest length roof box model in the series and is ideal for vehicles with shorter roof lines or anyone that doesn't need to transport long items such as skis. The Thule 603 Ascent cargo carrier has a hefty 15 cu. ft. capacity, a very popular option for those seeking a fully protective and waterproof luggage box for all types of gear such as golf clubs, baby jogger / baby stroller, luggage, camping equipment & many other uses! Holds up to 4 snowboards, not long enough for skis. Smooth, aerodynamic design for minimal wind resistance.
Includes the new Thule QuickGrip hardware (previously found only on Thule Racks most expensive cargo box models) allowing the Thule 603 Ascent 1500 to connect quickly, using no tools, directly to all styles of Thule base rack load bars, Yakima base roof rack round cross bars, Inno Racks cross bars & other after-market roofrack manufacturers and of course virtually all factory roof rack crossbars. Dual-side opening for convenient loading and unloading. SecureLock central locking system with Thule locks included for locking your equipment and belongings inside the Thule 603 Ascent roof box. Beautiful matte black anti-scratch finish and constructed of ultra-strong and UV resistant A.B.S. for an amazing strength to weight ratio. Dimensions: 66.9"(L) x 35.1"(W) x 16"(H) / Weight: 35 lbs.
PLEASE NOTE: The Thule Xadapt 10 Kit is now compatible with all Thule Ascent Series roof boxes, allowing them to mount flush to roof rack cross bars with T-slot channels running the length of the cross bar, such as Thule AeroBlade load bars and Rapid Aero load bars (Rapid Aero model discontinued), Whispbar Racks cross bars, all Votex brand OEM roof racks, all TracRac truck racks, Thule 422XT Xsporter etc. The result is a much more premium, low-profile appearance. |
