Our take on the Thule 997 Goalpost

by Kristen Schaub

Thule designed the 997 Goalpost rack to accommodate watersport vehicles and other extra-long loads on your truck. The Goalpost fits your 2" trailer hitch and features an anti-wobble design that keeps your load firmly secured. The height of the telescopic post adjusts easily for different sized trucks. All Thule equipment passes tough European safety standards for car racks.

Highlights:

  • rear-mounted load bar for easy transport of canoes, kayaks, and long loads
  • telescopic design allows for height adjustment depending on truck size
  • anti-wobble design keeps Goalpost snug in receiver
  • includes 58" load bar
  • for 2" receivers only
  • warranty: limited lifetime
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee
