A Porsche Cayenne is a beautiful mid sized luxury SUV that has an exceptional amount of cargo space. When the rear hatch just isn't enough space for you and all of your goodies we at Rack Attack have several solutions to make your luxury SUV a gear hauling beast just like this one!
Like many vehicles on the road the Cayenne comes from the factory with a pre-installed track system ready to get all racked up. Having the factory tracks in place makes this vehicle very rack-ready so installing and uninstalling your rack will be a breeze. The tracks also allow the user to adjust the location of the bars in just a few quick steps to accommodate nearly any roof top accessories on the market including a sleek cargo box like you see here.
Because this customer was obviously luxury minded, we got him set up with an amazing roof rack that was not only functional to his needs, but also maintained the luxury standards of the vehicle itself. The Thule TK1 mounting kit coupled with some 430R Tracker II towers fit perfectly in the previously mentioned track system like a glove. We opted for the 47" Thule Rapid Aero Bars to follow along with the clean luxurious look that the Porsche Cayenne is known for. The Aero bars are not only there to look amazing, they also allow for a much quieter ride and improved aerodynamics. The Aero Bars are compatible with nearly every car on the market meaning even if your vehicle isn't luxury, your rack still can be!
Since we'd made it this far keeping the vehicle looking just as sharp (or sharper) as it did when it came from the factory there was no reason to not ask for the same in the cargo box choice. The Thule Atlantis 1600 is not only very strong and incredibly aerodynamic, but it also boasts 16 cubic feet of cargo space making it capable of carrying nearly any gear that you need it to. The short, wide design of the Atlantis 1600 is perfect for vehicles with a hatch style tailgate and a relatively short roof, especially hatches with a spoiler.
Because its so much shorter than most of the other boxes on the market the box can be setup to allow the tailgate to fully open without touching and potentially causing damage to your vehicle. Along with improved aerodynamics, a stronger internal construction, and a much cleaner finish, this box also allows the user to open it from both sides and has an improved lock mechanism that wont jam up and cause you to break your key off when it freezes up in these frigid Minnesota winters.
If you're looking for a beautiful luxury rack to match your vehicle (or to make your junker look classy), call or stop in at any of Rack Attacks 9 locations throughout the US and Canada and have one of our rack experts set your up with an amazing Thule Aero Bar system. Not only will you be cruisin' in style, but you'll be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood!
