Solid as a Rock!

I love the Thule 450 Crossroads mounting system on my Ford Focus 'Street Edition' wagon, it's solid as a rock! I switch between ski holders and kayak saddles/pads depending on the season. Any good sports wagon looks undressed without a Thule roof rack system onboard!

The Best Rack for Side Rails!

item(s) transported: bikes for family of 4

When my oldest son decided mountain biking was HIS thing, how could we say anything other than 'we'll join you!" So now our entire family takes weekend trips all over the place finding trails the kids scope out ahead of time on the 'net. There was no way we would fit all the bikes inside our Sienna minivan though. The Thule 450 Cross Road was necessary for the Sienna because it only has the side rails on the car top, no cross bars to attach bike racks to. I can't believe how easy it is to put these on! We got the package and just couldn't wait for my husband to get home to install them. So I gave it a whirl. Oh my, all you do is attach the bars to the 450 Cross Road Feet and then clamp the Feet onto the siderails using the straps that wrap around the bars. You then use the handy wrench (which stores right inside each Foot, how cool is that?!?!) to tighten down the strap and that's all there is to it. We have 4 Thule 599XTR bike racks mounted to the Cross Road bars. What a great setup for carrying all our bikes!. I highly recommend the Cross Road to anyone with factory rack side rails.

Very Durable & Quick to Install

It might take you longer to read this sentence than it does to mount the Thule 450 CrossRoad car rack to your factory rails. Seriously, I was blown away with how quickly I had this rack mounted on the car. It's also very durable and well-constructed. You should definitely do your homework and use the Thule Fit Guide to find out what size load bars you need. This will give the rack a very slick and tight appearance. It would be a shame to have this very modern looking carrack on your roof top and have bars that are too long sticking way out over the sides. All the Thule gear carriers attach very nicely to the 450 Crossroad load bars too. I use a roof box and j-cradle kayak rack during the summer and then use the roof box to carry skis in the winter.

Easy to use.

Very easy to install on the factory rails. I also bought a Thule cargo box for the roof. Makes for easy extra storage.
