Thule Arcos cargo box

Thule Arcos cargo box is the most aerodynamic option for transporting all your gear at the rear of the car, leaving space on the vehicle's roof for bikes, boards or kayaks etc.  The low positioning of the Arcos allows the vehicle's boot or tailgate to be opened and being low to the ground makes loading and unloading a lot easier!

Thule Arcos comes in two sizes, the Arcos M has 300 litre capacity equal to a small roof box and the 400 litre Arcos L is equal to a medium roof box.  Both cargo boxes provide excellent storage capacity to suit all types of vehicles.

  • Designed to be super quiet while driving
  • Gives alternative way to transport your gear where some e-vehicles have no roof mounted option
  • Great option if you want to use the roof rack to transport sports carrier or roof top tent
  • Access from a low height makes for easy loading an unloading

The overall width of the Thule Arcos L is thirty centimetres longer than the Arcos M, allowing space for longer items to be transported or an additional luggage bag as shown.

The vehicle's total luggage capacity can be increased by an enormous amount such as with this Porsche Cayenne.  Even with the Arcos cargo box attached, it is still possible to open and close the tailgate on most vehicles (as shown below).
