Recommended Rack Option for a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado with a Leer Topper and Thule Top Tracks
Question:
Does the podium require a fit kit to mount to the top tracks? If so, which one?
asked by: Colin
Expert Reply:
Because the Leer Topper on your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado has Thule Top Tracks, I recommend using the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars, part # TH460R. This mounts in the tracks and allows you to use Thule AeroBlade, WingBar Evo, SquareBar, and ProBar load bars.
For the bars themselves, I recommend the WingBar Evo bars, part # TH711400. They're aero-style bars that cut down on wind noise and drag. They're 53" long and can handle 220 pounds. Of course, the Rapid Podium feet have a capacity of 165 pounds, so that will be your max.
I've linked to a video review of the WingBar Evo bars below.
