2010 Ford Flex – Thule 480R Traverse Rack Install

Monday, November 30th, 2009

i gotta admit, i wasn’t a fan when i first saw it, but  now, i’m a believer…the ford flex is a really cool car – and that is coming from someone who drives a honda element – arguably the ugliest car on the road….

i’m also going to add in, this was one of the most satisfying sales we’ve made in awhile.   the first contact with the client came by way of email, and a screenshot of a product review that was on amazon.com…it turned out, this lost-in-cyberspace product review resonated enough with this customer to earn his business, which we were proud to accept.

as usual, we offer a personalized consultation for the purchase of a rack system.  there are just too many configurations and products out there to be a one-size-fits-all solution.  every car is different, every car owner’s needs are different too.   that’s how we ended up with the Thule 480R Rapid Aero Complete Rack System. 

Here are the pictures to show:
