What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The short loadbars are perfect when you want the strength of the Xscape system without the extra width. They're sturdy, aerodynamic, and the dual T-tracks make accessory changes super quick. They lock into the towers solidly and the tie-down points are surprisingly handy." We choose the Thule Xscape Short Loadbar when we want a compact, durable option for building out a versatile truck-bed rack system. Its heavy-duty aluminum construction delivers reliable support, while the aerodynamic shape keeps things quiet on the road. Dual T-tracks make mounting accessories simple-quick installs up top and a solid, stable connection to the towers below. With integrated tie-down points and stout construction, the Short Loadbar handles demanding loads with ease. Whether we're hauling bikes, kayaks, tools, or weekend gear, it brings strength and adaptability to any Xscape setup.
