One component of the Thule Racks premium Rapid Traverse roof rack system, the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack is the solution for cars and pickup truck cabs that have smooth, naked rooftops with no rain gutters, no factory side rails, no factory racks etc. Packaged as a set of four Feet. Replaces the Thule 400XTR Rapid Aero Foot Pack with a host of new features and benefits. Requires 2 Thule Rapid Aero load bars (not included; see accessory add-ons below) and 4 Thule Traverse Fit Kit brackets (not included; see accessory add-ons below). The Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack works the same as the regular Thule 480 Traverse Foot Pack but is designed for use with the premium, aerodynamic Thule Rapid Aero bars instead of square load bars.
Purchasing just the set of 4 Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Feet is a great way to transfer your existing Thule base roof rack system to a new vehicle cheaply without the need to buy an entirely new base rack system. Also available as a complete Thule 480R Rapid Traverse roof rack system. Optionally lockable outer cover features bold, contemporary styling and hides and protects the interior of each Foot while blending flawlessly with any roofline for a truly integrated appearance. We highly recommend a four pack of Thule Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock each Foot to vehicle.
