Thule Terrapin Cargo Box Released As Alternative to Car Roof Boxes

The Thule Terrapin Cargo Box by Thule Racks has recently launched after much feedback from consumers. The result of extensive design and engineering, the Terrapin connects to two inch rear hitch receivers, instead of to a car roof rack like conventional cargo boxes.

Thule states that another major feature includes a swing-away design that allows users to accesss the rear of their vehicles. Thule explained that many consumers have recently expressed grief over their inability to easily access roof mounted cargo systems on taller vehicles such as SUV's. The Thule 684 Terrapin is a major effort in alleviating this problem for certain consumers. The Terrapin cargo box dimensions are 50.25 inches x 24.25 inches x 23.5 inches and has a recommended minimum suggested retail price of $529.
