Question:

Does this fit my ford maverick without drilling? How does it compare to the other low profile rack systems you carry?

Hey Pete, welcome back! The Thule Xsporter Pro Low # TH84QC clamps directly to the bed rails on your Maverick, so there’s no drilling or cutting required. Keep in mind, the Xsporter will not work with a tonneau cover if you want to add one later.

If you want to add a tonneau cover, I’d go with the Yakima OutPost HD # Y01152-5855 instead. It’s compatible with tonneau covers that have T-slot rails, so you can have the rack and still keep the bed covered. The only downside is it sits a little higher compared to the Xsporter.

What will you be using the rack for?
