Thule Caprock Roof Platform

Even with larger SUVs, cargo space can be pretty tight, especially if you’re hauling a full-load passengers and all their gear. Simple solution: look up, and take advantage of that roof real estate. The Thule Capstone roof platform is a good solution for adventurers looking to go off the beaten path for a few days. The system features a low profile design which both looks sleek and helps with improved airflow on the highway. With a load capacity that can handle up to an impressive 330 lbs (150 kg), this bad boy can carry your gear with ease, from the looks of it (remember to double-check your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity). Customization is key, and Thule understands that. With adjustable base crossbars, you can fine-tune the fit to your vehicle, ensuring a seamless integration with your accessories. Overall, it offers versatility without compromising valuable interior cabin space.
