Our take on the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse™ Foot Pack

by Buck Pomerantz

Thule rack systems consist of a set of load bars — which support your accessories and carriers — held by a set of foot packs that are attached to your vehicle by a fit kit. All Thule equipment passes tough European safety standards for car racks.

Thule designed the 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack for use with their top-of-the-line Rapid Aero Load Bars (available separately) on cars without rain gutters or factory racks. Galvanized stamped steel construction resists corrosion, while the wide foot design offers excellent stability.

Note: Thule includes matching load bar end caps in this package.

Highlights:

  • contains 4 feet
  • for cars with no factory rack or rain gutters
  • for use with compatible Rapid Aero™ load bars (not included)
  • construction:
    • galvanized stamped steel
    • zinc iron-plated hardware
  • 4 load bar end caps included
  • warranty: limited lifetime
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Thule rack system

    Written By Szosco, Wyomissing, pa on Saturday, April 06, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This unit (aero) replaced old tube racks. Easy installation. But the biggest benefit was buying from Crutchfield. I have purchased several audio units, with much satisfaction with their customer assistance on products (service after the sale). I was pleasantly surprised to see their website sells Thule racks. With my past positive experience with Crutchfield and Thule, I had no doubts that I was making a great purchase!
    Pros:
    Crutchfield support.
    Cons:
    None
