ThuleCaprock

In July 2024, we will be embarking with friends on our 3rd annual camping trip to the Sequoia forest in central California. I researched and decided to purchase the Thule caprock size L for my 2020 Ford Explorer. I could not find any pictures of this roof rack on a Ford Explorer so I wasn't sure how it was going to fit. The fitment is better than I expected. I'd say it's nearly perfect. To test it, I transported a queen size bed and box spring to my family from LA to the desert on a 213 mile trip. I used retractable ratchet tie downs with eye bolts to strap them down and nothing moved! I drove at 65-68mph. The loudest noise came from the plastic wrap I had the mattress and box spring in when we had it stored. This thing is rock solid. I also used the caprock crossbar kit and love the height. I was worried it would sit high but it doesn't. These flat roof racks are on the more expensive side which could be a con but the quality and craftsmanship of the Thule caprock is impeccable. Highly recommend.

I was stoked to take the Caprock Rack for a spin and it definitely exceeded my expectations. With its easy setup, sturdy construction, and sleek design, it seamlessly integrates into any rig. This rack is great for carrying more gear, easily accessing recovery gear, and mounting a rooftop tent or awning. The rack was a perfect complement to our Thule rooftop tent and having the additional spots to hold onto helped speed up the tent setup and takedown. The versatility and durability of the Caprock Rack make it an awesome addition to my car setup and I'm excited to continue finding more and more things I like about it.
