Brand spankin' new for 2010, Thule introduces the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack that offers the easiest, safest and strongest installation of any roof rack tower of its kind. Designed to work in conjunction with the Thule Traverse Fit Kits, and Thule Rapid Aero Load Bars, this foot pack will now fit more vehicles than ever before, including many 2010 models and other hard-to-fit vehicles.
Available as a complete rack system - Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Complete Rack System
Requires Thule Rapid Aero Load Bars and Thule Traverse Fit Kits. Please refer to Thule Automated Fit Guide for recommended bar length and kit number.
The shorter, Rapid Aero bar allows you to use the entire bar length for mounting accessories, since the tower is inserted below the bar, rather than having a cowl or hood wrapping around the bar.
Be sure to choose the recommended bar length set forth in the fit guide. Longer bars will not fit since the channel underneath the bar, where the tower attaches, does not extend deep enough. If you need a longer loadbar, choose the 480 Traverse Foot Pack application with regular steel load bars.
