After a bunch of research, I ordered the Thule 450R feet and 53" Aero bars, along with a 6-pack of lock cores. I paid more than I wanted to for a basic roof rack but got a great deal from Rack Attack and now that I see the set up on the vehicle, I am very happy with the purchase. My first exprience w. Thule products. I find them to to be well engineered and made of high quality material. The kit is easy to install, extremely sturdy, and looks great on the Highlander...color scheme even matches. Road test up to 50mph produces some minor whistling but indiscernable with the moon roof closed...we'll get it on the interstate later this week and see what happens to noise and mileage. Thanks to Walter and the team at Rack Attack for the prompt service and attention to followup questions I had.

My son (who is 14) decided to put this on the XC90 for me because I was out of town. I was a little concerned that it might not be as tight as I wanted, but it was perfect. The system was whistling a little so we adjusted the position to be a little more forward and it reduced it some. Now we can only hear it if we have the sunroof open. My son adjusted it in about 3 minutes on both sides just showing me how easy it was done.

Dear friends at Rack attack,
I am searching for the best rack option to install on my Honda Pilot 2010, which will be better the 450R or just 450??? Which of them has a bigger weight resistance? So far i am staying with Thule but if you can give some advice on other it will be great to hear!

The 450 and 450R will carry the same capacity. That said, the 450R will be quieter than the standard 450 system from Thule.

There are other racks that will fit this vehicle but the 450R is the best in our opinion.

How many do you get when ordering quantity of 1? If i want two bars on my roof, will I have to order 4? If so, then that's ridiculously pricey...

Keith,

The Thule 450R Rapid Crossroad system includes 4 towers, meaning it will carry a set of two crossbars.

If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call here at the Boston location, the number here is 508 879 1444. Thanks!

Vehicle: 2007 volvo xc90
does the Product Code : 100450R come with load bars as well as the rail/foot assmebly?

Hey Fred,

Nope, that's just a set of 4 "feet". On the '07 Volvo XC90 you would need the Thule ARB53" bars to go with it. You might also consider getting a pack of locks to secure the system to the roof of your vehicle due to the ease of removal. We have all of this in stock in our St. Louis Park store and would be happy to answer any questions. Feel free to call us at the number listed below.

Thanks,
