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.

Great Product. I use it on the front of my truck to support two kayaks, and I also use it on the back of the truck's 5th wheel to support and dry my SCUBA gear. Instead of using the factory supplied support straps, I bought two of the ratchet type, as they are much more positive and easier to adjust.

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.
