Frequently Asked Questions – Thule Force 3 Roof Boxes
What is the difference between Thule Force 3 and Motion 3?
The Thule Force 3 is designed as a rugged, value-focused roof box with excellent everyday practicality. It includes the same PowerClick quick-fit mounting, dual-side opening and secure SlideLock system as the Motion 3, but at a more affordable price point. The Motion 3 features a more premium aerodynamic shape and interior finish, while the Force 3 delivers outstanding space and durability for families and regular travellers.
Which Thule Force 3 size is best for a family?
For most families, the Force 3 L or XL is the ideal choice. These sizes provide enough space for suitcases, pushchairs and camping gear while still fitting comfortably on hatchbacks, estates and SUVs. If you need maximum capacity for long trips or ski equipment, the Force 3 XXL offers the largest storage option.
