Review on πŸš— Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack: Stable and Swift Roof Rack System by Chris Chincuanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used for the Christmas holidays

First things first, use Thule's getting started guide to get everything you need: [.]My wife offered to buy a car wrap to fit our Ford Focus create an upcoming 11-hour car 2 dogs. After a lot of research, looking closely at other car parks around town, and trying to figure out how best to spend my money, I settled on Thule (pronounced "tul-hey" apparently). The final selling point was the wide variety of products sold, which can easily be reused on other vehicles and with other products. For example I could use a car lid and then a bike rack, a raft rack or just a pole to transport plywood etc. I ended up buying a custom leg pack, aero bars, fast travel legs, locks and a load box. . While we spent several hundred dollars on everything, if we want to use these products on our Scion, all we have to do is buy a $70 custom footmuff. The custom leg set comes with specific sizes and positions of the legs and stems. Follow the instructions and after a while the installation will run smoothly. After you figure it out, it takes 2 minutes to install and remove the rod and box. During our trip we removed the cargo box and I was able to do it myself in minutes. The entire facility survived a 22-hour round trip at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. The box also stood in the rain all night and walked down the street in the rain with dry contents. The installation stayed in place, tight and secure, and didn't scratch the paintwork.
