The Hitch Receiver Based Watersport Solution for Trucks
-------------------------------------------------------
Designed for use with pickup trucks, the Thule Goalpost
Adjustable Watersport Carrier allows you to transport different
sized kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, boats and sailboards to and
from your destination. Connecting to your truck's 2-inch hitch
receiver (1¼-inch receivers not supported), the Goalpost serves
as the back support section of a transport system, with front
support coming by way of your truck's existing cab load bar.
Canoes are aerodynamically transported hull side up on these two
load bars, while when transporting kayaks, the Goalpost can be
use with either Thule Hydro-Glide or Set-To-Go saddles (sold
separately), which cradle kayak hulls at the front and rear,
allowing for maximum support and ease of loading and unloading of
boats without causing scratches or warping.
Assuming an existing load bar, the Goalpost can be used on and
between a variety of trucks, regardless of their height. This is
possible through the Goalpost's telescoping mast which adjusts to
a range of truck cab heights in seconds via its pin secured
connection to the the unit's 2-inch hitch stinger section. The
58-inch Thule steel load bar provided with the Thule Goalpost has
a durable plastic coating, which protects it from damaging
friction with loaded items and comes with two vertical load stop
attachments. These attachments give the unit its namesake
goalpost look, and when firmly secured provide easily adjustable
barriers that keep loaded canoes or other haulable cargo like
lumber, pipes and tubing from sliding from side to side while in
transit. Finally, the Goalpost's hitch connection was created
with an anti-sway design for a more stable, more secure transport
as well as 2 load straps that connect its center mast assembly to
your rear bumper at either sides to help stabilize and hold the
load.
Compatible with Hydro-Glide and Set-To-Go kayak saddles.

About Thule
-----------
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric
Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a
pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't
long before he added other practical items to the company's
portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on
car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin
family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979,
and it has continued to grow both ally and through
acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in
providing transport solutions for an active life.
