Default no known issues whatsoever documented by Thule Racks for Ford Explorer kayak rack

Hey there General, I haven't heard any issues about the Ford Explorer factory rack crossbars breaking under load pressures of kayaks transported using the Thule 830 Kayak Stacker. Thule Racks thoroughly tests all their gear carriers on all vehicles with factory racks and they document any issues in their very thorough Thule Fit Guide Manual supplied to dealers. There are no documented issues whatsoever for any year Ford Explorer with factory roofrack crossbars when using Thule kayak racks. And the Thule 830 kayak rack will definitely mount to your Ford Explorer crossbars directly. So travel confidently with your kayaks loaded on the Thule 830 on your Ford Explorer factory bars. This will also save you a lot of money by not having to invest in a whole new roof rack system that replaces the perfectly functional Ford Explorer factory rack.
