Thule rack

Trac-Racs are NOT light duty, speaking from my personal experience. Heavy duty aluminum and stainless steel hardware, no steel corrosion from the salt water. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Thanks everyone, your input has helped mucho. And the winner is????? Will make my mind up this weekend as I will look at each in person, leaning toward the Trac one, 800 lb limit and way better built then the old Thule, seems better engineered too., it is reinfrced in the areas that the old one failed. Again thank you all for your comments.

I loved my TraRac, the rack is SOLID.

BUT will it carry two PA 14's on top with an Outback on a sling below??? That is what I will be asking of it, then going off road in Baja. The Thule did, but not for long. The Tracone looks like it will carry that load well. I am sure this saga will continue, Asuncion and Mag Bay trips are coming up. Tight Lines.
