Thule Goal Post

Thule Goal Post description

Thule's Goal Post hitch mount gives you a rear load bar on any vehicle with a 2 hitch mount. Because the Goal Post is mounted so far back, it makes an ideal unit for carrying long kayaks and canoes. The Goal Post includes two load stops and an anti-wobble device for load stability. A telescoping vertical means that the goal post can adjust to whatever size you need it.

Bottom Line: Perfect for that monster touring boat.

This was the perfect solution for my situation, already having a Thule roofrack, but having switched from a car to a pickup (w/bedcover that precludes any rack that uses the bed or the stake holes); needed to carry windsurfers and kayaks. Very easy to install and fit. My only gripe is that the stabilizer straps just have a simple pull-through cam lock with no mechanical reduction, so it's hard to get them really taut; I might replace them with something with a mechanical reduction, (like a trucker's hitch)to reduce the load on the welded L-joint (I've heard rumors that the weld can crack over time from taking all the torque from the load if the straps aren't tight enough). Still, a great piece of gear all in all.

We are SOOOO happy with our Thule Goal Post and Roof Rack system. It makes loading our canoe for trips to the river a breeze. Several people have stopped us to ask where we got it. Ordering from this site was crazy fast and easy.
