Kick your kayak, canoe, or SUP up onto the Thule Goalpost and follow the red-dirt road down to your favorite paddling spot without worrying about your boat getting tossed off your truck. The Goalpost plugs solidly into any two-inch hitch receiver and has a telescoping mast that extends to work with pickups of any height (you do need to purchase the appropriate Thule cab rack separately). Two solid load straps keep your boat from bouncing around while you wind down to the put-in, and the plastic coating on the rugged steel load bar makes sure your baby doesn’t get dinged in transit.

Does exactly what is described. I found it to be quite sturdy with my 65 lb 17 ft canoe on my GMC Sierra. Easy to put together, easy to install on the truck. I'm impressed and happy with my purchase. The only thing that would be better is if it was a little wider to enable carrying two canoes.

We are SOOOO happy with our Thule Goal Post and Roof Rack system. It makes loading our canoe for trips to the river a breeze. Several people have stopped us to ask where we got it. Ordering from this site was crazy fast and easy.

I have a 2003 Ford Ranger. Hauling a canoe around was not an easy task until I found the Goal Post by Thule. What a great invention for pickup trucks. I also bought a load bar for across the cab. Now I can haul my canoe, planks, mattress, or just about anything. Very easy setup. I'm a happy customer.

Great Product. I use it on the front of my truck to support two kayaks, and I also use it on the back of the truck's 5th wheel to support and dry my SCUBA gear. Instead of using the factory supplied support straps, I bought two of the ratchet type, as they are much more positive and easier to adjust.

This was the perfect solution for my situation, already having a Thule roofrack, but having switched from a car to a pickup (w/bedcover that precludes any rack that uses the bed or the stake holes); needed to carry windsurfers and kayaks. Very easy to install and fit. My only gripe is that the stabilizer straps just have a simple pull-through cam lock with no mechanical reduction, so it's hard to get them really taut; I might replace them with something with a mechanical reduction, (like a trucker's hitch)to reduce the load on the welded L-joint (I've heard rumors that the weld can crack over time from taking all the torque from the load if the straps aren't tight enough). Still, a great piece of gear all in all.
