Default Interest Thread:Thule Products at North American Motorsports



Thule Products at North American Motorsports

We are working on being setup as a Thule dealer and was curious what people here in the Scion community thought of their racks and accessories for the xB. I've posted some pictures below of the different products they offer for the xB and would love to know what people think about their products.

Bike Rack


Ski Carriers


Storage Boxes


These are just a few of the systems that Thule offers for the xB. I just want to find out what people think of their products and if there would be any interest in us carrying their line. Let us know what you think, we appreciate it!

like most roof carriers they seem really overpriced. I know they are in line with the other brands, but the basic system should cost half what it does.
Frankly the market seems ripe with greed.

I'm in need of a roof rack actually.
Which is why I guess I'm so annoyed by the high cost of such little hardware.

Thule is great! I had one on three different cars and it was twelve years old when i got rid of it, still worked like day one.
I think i need to get another one, but not sure if i want yakkima or thule this time.

We sell Thule products where I work. They are pricey but are really nice if you like to go camping or be outdoors.

So there's the challenge North American Motorsports.
Give us the base rack for cost and make money on the attachments.

Or design your own, charge half as much and still make a killing...

Well after my experience with (attempting to get) the factory Yakima rack, I would wholeheartedly support someone who could offer a product that was
1. IN STOCK AND ACTUALLY AVAILABLE!!!!
2. Similiar in cost to the factory option rack.
I think you would do great if you could also offer "package" deals where if you ordered the rack and an option (or 2 or 3) you got a better deal, or free shipping or something like that. Suggested packages: rack + bike attachment, rack + cargo box, rack+ ski holder, rack + kayak or canoe holder.
Just my 3 cents.
