"I have had several different Thule and Yakima roof racks in the past. I haul around a variety of kayaks from whitewater to sea. When I saw a picture of this Thule bed rack, I liked what it looked like. This rack is one of the nicest racks that I have owned to date. I love the new shape of the aerodynamically shaped load bars. They totally eliminate the noisey wind noise associated with my older rectangular shaped bars. They can be raised up above the roof line for longer loads like my sea yaks and dropped down below the roof line for shorter loads. They look very well constructed and are rated for around 700 pounds. This rack worked great in my 07' Nissan Frontier, really gives the truck a sporty beefy look. I think that Thule has really hit a Grand Slam with this design.

"Installation was straightforward and easy. Less than two hours to install at a leisurely pace. Carries 2 canoes or 1 canoe and 1 kayak easily. I recommend getting the Thule straps as well they make for easy and secure tie down of whatever you are transporting. Thule recommended the xsporter 421 for my Silverado 1500HD but I went with the 422 for the extra roof clearance and I'm glad I did. For a lot of things the 421 would be the better choice but more clearance is needed when transporting canoes. Auto Anything had the best deal I could find on this rack and the rack arrived much faster than I thought it might. Free shipping on this item was a big selling point but they had a better base price than any other sites that charged for shipping. I'd definitely buy this rack again."

"Very sturdy racks that can be lowered out of the way when not in use. Very functional and versatile. A bit on the pricey side but good quality."

"Although this sytem is way
strong, The adjustable height
of the crossbars is not easy on
the Tacoma. I have to disassemble the bars to move the system vertically."
