Question:

Will this fit on a 2017 Acura RDX with factory roof rails and cross bars? Is this the highest level one or is there another product that is higher rated and better to have? I like the slide out feature since that seems to be easier to install snowboards and skis. Will it hold 2 skis and 2 snow boards at same time? Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Skis or 4 Boards # TH7325 is a great option that will allow you to carry your 2 boards and 2 sets of skis at the same time. This ski rack or the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black # GRR6B will give you the capability you are seeking as well as the slide out feature. The Thule will allow the extension of both the top and bottom (see video) where the Kuat only has the bottom tray extend (see photo). The Kuat Grip is available in pearl white # GRR6P or gray # GRR6G as well as the black.

Either carrier is a good option and fit for your 2017 Acura RDX with factory crossbars, so it just depends on your preference with the slide out feature and color choice.
