etrailer | Comprehensive Review: Thule Arcos Enclosed Cargo Carrier

[@theticoboy]

Just bought this Thule arcos cargo box and hitch platform. Very easy to put together the platform and even easier connecting it to the hitch. I love how I do NOT need any tools to tighten it. Only two bolts to connect the cargo box. I backed into a supercharger ok but 2 people is needed. I had to get within an inch of the pole to get close enough for the cord to reach. But it’s doable. It will be hard for thicker people to access the trunk with it on. So the Yakima swing base may be better. I didn’t go with that as I believe the space is only 10 cubic ft vs 14 for this box. Plus Yakima was about 22lbs heavier. Which impacts storage weight limit. I will say closing it and being able to remove the key is a little tricky but I think I’m getting used to it. This is one of the priciest. I was lucky to get used new in box one. But I still need to get an adapter for the brake lights. I found one for less than $10 on Amazon that will be here tomorrow. So far supercharging is doable which was my concern and very little posts re that. Hope this helpful to other 2023 model Y owners.

Would be helpful if you addressed whether there is sufficient space to stand in between the bumper and the box to remove items in the trunk. Who cares if there is sufficient space to open the hatch if you can't get items out of it.
