Question:
What is the difference between a 480 and a 480R in the thule Traverse?
asked by: John
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule Traverse 480 has been discontinued and is only compatible with square load bars which are also discontinued. The Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack # TH480R are compatible with the Aero Style bars like the AeroBlade or WingBar Evo, the ProBar Evo bars, and the SquareBar that has a slot on the underside. I've linked the page to all these crossbar options to assist.
The ProBar Evo # TH713700 and # TH713600 are the only crossbars that can be cut to custom lengths like the older square bars because the channels run the entire length of the bars.
