MADE IN THE U.S.A.
Get all that luggage & gear out of the car and up on the rooftop! The Thule 605 Ascent 1700 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 605 Ascent cargo box is the largest size in the Thule Ascent car roof box series with a huge 17 cu. ft. volume of gear storage capacity. Ideal as a ski box for 6-8 pairs of skis of any length, snowboards, luggage, camping equipment & so many other uses! Load straps included for securing in place all gear contents inside the roof box during travel. 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 605 Ascent 1700 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 roof rack 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 605 Ascent gear 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: 91.5"(L) x 31.5"(W) x 15.7"(H) / Weight: 40 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. |

A good box for your wheels
this Thule 605 Ascent 1700 review by spivey
vehicle year/make/model: Mini Cooper
item(s) transported: Skis and gear
I've had a great time so far with my Thule Ascent cargo box. I have a Mini that doesn't always have enough cargo space. Especially when I go skiing with anyone other than myself. With the Ascent, there is always tons of room for all of my gear. When I want to take it off my vehicle, it couldn't be easier. The mounting claws open and close with the turn of a knob. That new hardware is so much better than the old U-bracket with knobs hardware that my old box used. The only thing that isn't perfect is the fact that the hatch door cannot be opened all the way because the end of the box hangs out too far, even when pushed all the way forward, but I do have a Mini afterall. Also like how it locks, which by design makes sure that the box is completely closed.
Great box!
this Thule 605 Ascent 1700 review by Kingman
vehicle year/make/model: 2008 Honda Fit
item(s) transported: Downhill skis and gear
I am quite pleased with the purchase of my Thule Ascent cargo box. It mounted directly to my factory crossbars with the utmost ease. It wasn't necessary for me to adjust my crossbars because the mounting clamps adjust so easily. We've been using the box all summer and it has kept the contents dry even in the heaviest downpours. It opens and closes easily and we have honestly had no problems. Also love the feature that makes you lock the box before taking out the key. This has been a great purchase and I don't know how we ever lived without it!!!

ORS Crew says - The Thule Xadapt 10 Kit is now compatible with all Thule Ascent cargo 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.
ORS Racks Direct Crew says - The Thule Ascent car roof boxes have a long range of adjustment to fit nearly any distance between the front roof rack crossbar and the rear roof rack cross bar (referred to as crossbar spread). In fact the Ascent 1700 fits any crossbars with a spread as short as 23-5/8" inches and as long as 37", Ascent 1600 fits any crossbars with a spread as short as 23-5/8" inches and as long as 35-5/8", Ascent 1500 fits any crossbars with a spread as short as 23-5/8" inches and as long as 33-1/2" and Ascent 1100 fits any crossbars with a spread as short as 23-5/8" inches and as long as 37-1/2".
HOMErr asks - I can't figure out how to change a lock cylinder on a Thule roof box. I want to change my lock but can't take the key out to put the removal key in. As you know, Thule boxes won't let you take the key out unless it is locked.
ORS Racks Direct crew answers - Yeah this probably has caused many folks to pull their hair out. But here's the answer for you and so glad you asked, this will hopefully save a lot of hair... To get a Thule lock cylinder out of a Thule box requires that you have the dedicated locking key and a master or control key. You would insert the dedicated key into the Thule lock cylinder on the cargo box and turn only 10 degrees, now pull the dedicated key out and insert the control key. You can now use the control key to wiggle a bit and the cylinder will pop out. Sounds kooky but this is really how to do it!
Jason Anderson asks - Can I mount the Thule Ascent 1700 to a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder without having it overhang the windshield too much and still not hit the hatch when open? I currently have the Ascent 1600 model but would like to fill the Nissan Pathfinder roof space more.
ORS Crew answers - Yes the Thule Ascent 1700 is the perfectly sized roof box to match the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder rooftop configuration, allowing the rear hatch to open fully without contacting the box, yet not extending out awkwardly over the windshield.
