What size is the Thule 200?
There is no single size associated with a product simply called “Thule 200.” The length, width, and overall dimensions depend on the exact Thule model and product line (such as cargo boxes, roof racks, or hitch-mounted carriers). To determine the size, you’ll need the precise model name or number and the year of the product.
What the designation might mean
The number 200 can appear in different Thule product lines for different reasons. It may refer to a length, a generation code, or a catalog prefix in older versus newer offerings. Because Thule has updated its lineup over time, the same number does not guarantee identical dimensions across all items. The most reliable approach is to identify the exact model and consult the official specifications for that model.
Common interpretations across Thule lines indicate that numeric identifiers can denote variations within a family, rather than a universal, fixed size. The items below illustrate how the same number can appear in multiple contexts, each with its own measurements.
- Cargo boxes and roof boxes: A numeric suffix like “200” sometimes appears in model names or SKUs to distinguish different lengths or capacities within a box family. The actual length, width, and height vary by model and year.
- Roof racks and crossbars: In several catalogs, a numeric code accompanies a crossbar set or fit-kit; the number does not map to a fixed length. Dimensions depend on crossbar length, mounting hardware, and vehicle fit.
- Hitch-mounted bike or cargo carriers: Numeric identifiers can denote a particular variant or generation; overall size considerations include the carrier’s length, width, and mounting compatibility rather than a simple numeric value.
Conclusion: Because a single “Thule 200” label does not resolve to one size, the most reliable step is to locate the exact model information and consult the official specs for that specific item.
How to verify the exact size
Use these steps to determine the actual dimensions for the “Thule 200” you’re dealing with or planning to purchase.
- Find the exact model name and year printed on the product label, manual, or packaging.
- Visit Thule’s official website or the product’s archived catalog page to view the precise dimensions for that model.
- If you have the physical item, measure it directly: note length, width, and height for boxes; measure crossbar length or carrier footprint for roof racks and hitch carriers.
- Compare your measurements to the published specs to confirm the size.
- If the information isn’t readily available, contact Thule customer support with clear photos of the product, any model numbers, and serial information.
By following these steps, you can confirm the exact size for the Thule item you have or are considering, since “Thule 200” alone does not provide a definitive dimension.

Cargo boxes and roof boxes
In this category, the size variation is driven by payload, internal volume, and external length. The precise length and capacity depend on the model name and year, so verifying the exact spec sheet for the model is essential before purchasing or mounting.
Roof racks and crossbars
Crossbars and fit kits come in different lengths and mounting footprints. The “200” designation, if present, may refer to a particular generation or a catalog code rather than a fixed bar length. Always check the published dimensions for the exact year and fit list.
Bike racks and hitch carriers
Bike carriers and hitch-mounted units vary by how many bikes they carry, wheelbase compatibility, and overall footprint. A numeric part code may distinguish versions, but it does not alone specify the size. Confirm the model’s official measurements for accurate fit on your vehicle.
Summary
The short version is that “Thule 200” does not equate to one universal size. To know the exact dimensions, identify the precise model name or number and refer to the official specifications for that item. If you provide the model line, year, or a photo of the label, I can help interpret the exact size and compatibility.
