Hyundai Tucson Racks
The Tucson from Hyundai offers all the advantages of a crossover SUV with comfort and convenience for every passenger, and perks include a smooth manual or automatic transmission, a powerful braking system, brightly illuminated headlight and taillight assemblies, and even some great optional features like CarPlay touchscreen capabilities and a stylish sport trim. There are many types of Hyundai Tucson racks, including roof cargo boxes, base rack systems, boat racks, winter outdoor racks, cargo baskets, and bike racks. Ensuring that your rack is secured adequately keeps gear safe during a trip.
What do roof cargo boxes entail?Roof cargo boxes are typically solid compartments split into a bottom and a top. The two halves fit together with a series of snaps or fasteners, and the entire capsule is attached to the Tucson’s roof with bungee cords and straps. This type of rack is good for duffel bags or other supplies that are made of materials which could be damaged by rain or other elements. The hard plastic or metal exterior provides added protection and keeps items safe.
What are qualities of base rack systems?Base rack systems are comprised of two bars installed parallel to each other on the roof of the Hyundai Tucson. These are versatile systems that can accommodate a wide variety of different racks, cargo, and bags. Bungees or cords can be used to strap different things to the bars while you approach your destination in your Hyundai.
What are features of boat racks?Boat racks are made especially for transporting watercrafts like canoes and kayaks on your Hyundai. These types of racks utilize the base rack system by attaching stands perpendicular to each bar on the roof. These stands allow you to place a boat on the roof. Boats are placed between the stands and strapped to both the stands and the roof bars securely.
What are qualities of winter sporting racks?Winter sporting racks are ideal for gear like skis and snowboards. These involve bars installed directly over the base rack bars with about an inch of space in between the two stacked bars. This inch accommodates a snowboard or skis without allowing them to slide around. The snowboard or skis fit into the bars and hang over the front and rear of the Hyundai Tucson for transport.
How do cargo baskets and bike racks work?- Cargo baskets are grids of metal or plastic that is attached to the base rack systems. The presence of more bars and intersections means the ability to strap more gear to the Hyundai Tucson’s roof.
- Bike racks can be mounted on top of the Hyundai Tucson or on the rear. Some racks attach to the trailer hitch, meaning that both sets of wheels can remain on the bike for transport. Frequently, roof racks dictate that the bike’s front wheel must be taken off for the duration of the trip.
