Description

Unless you're 10' tall, traditional roof-mounted cargo carriers are a hassle to load. Not only do you have to fumble around with step-stools, but then you have to hoist your gear all the way up to the crown of your vehicle. Take the pain out of packing along your extra stuff with a Thule Terrapin Cargo Carrier. It mounts right to your 2" Class III hitch receiver, putting a roomy storage solution right in arm's reach. Or, fill it with ice, and you have the perfect cooler for drinks, snacks or even stinky bait.

What's more, your vehicle's cargo area remains fully open. Your Thule Terrapin Cargo Carrier's swing-away arm gives you total rear access. It even has built-in brake lights that sync with your pedal.

Security is second-nature to your Terrapin. It comes with Thule's mighty One Key System of locks to keep would-be thieves from stealing your stuff. Plus, the tight seal prevents the elements from sneaking into your Terrapin. 13 cubic feet of storage. Lifetime Warranty.

Thule Terrapin Cargo Box review

Posted on 03/17/2008 by John G. - 2007 GMC Yukon (Toms River,NJ)

"The unit arrived on time and in good condition. Installation, even for a non-mechanical person, was very straightforward. While a little cumbersome, one person can do complete installation. The unit served its purpose for our family, as we had two additional passengers in our vehicle for a week-long ski trip, and simply ran out of space to store our belongings. The cargo box has much more room than one might think. Only negative issue is the lenght that the entire unit extends from the back of the vehicle. The additional length makes manuevering difficult in tight parking lots, particularly when backing up."

Terrapin Review

Posted on 12/27/2007 by Melissa S. - 2004 Volvo V70 (Towson,MD)

"we like the Terrapin Cargo Box - it's easy to install and it's easy to take off the hitch receiver. It is also easy to use i.e. open, lock, and swing away from the rear bumper. We drove in a very heavy rain and all the cargo in the box stayed dry. Our gas consumption was also unaffected because the box is behind the car as opposed to roof-topped. I am only sorry that the box doesn't sit in a seperate tray in order to use the tray for other cargo and to carry the box around without the swing arm like the Rola brand boxes. Otherwise, it is a great system."

Great Addition

Posted on 12/24/2007 by Ernest O. - 2008 Buick Enclave (Quincy,IL)

"The Thule Terrapin cargo box is exactly as advertised. Easy to assemble and proved weatherproof on our first roadtrip. Feels a little flimsy but, held up well. Would definitely recommend if you need a little extra space."

Great product...

Posted on 09/07/2007 by Brenton W. (Las Vegas,NV)

"We recently went on a 2800 mile trip. The cargo box was the perfect addition. We have a Dodge Durango and with 2 kids and 3 adults we had to have the 3rd row seat available. Everything fit into the cargo bax and still there was room left over. I even talked to a guy in Vail Co., he wanted to know where I got it. A very handy tool for those with limited room. My only complaint is that the lock sticks a little. Other than that, wonderful."

Terrapin Box

Posted on 07/17/2007 by Jacob O. (Commack,NY)

"I drive a Chevy Tahoe that seats 6 people with the 3rd row, which means this doesnt leave alot of space for Luggage when going on extended trips. This Terrapin Box is very useful in these situations, having it, is like having another trunk. Attaching it to the Hitch is fairly easy. Thule supplies all the equipment for a easy easy assembly.I first considered purchasing a roof rack storage, but would seem difficult when trying to load the box, this is why I perfer this box, for eay load and removal."

"Very easy to assemble and put on the vehicle. Very convenient versus a roof rack and the fact that it swings open is great for access to the back of the truck. Could be a little bigger though. I am glad I purchased this product."
