Advice on Thule

Anyone have a Thule? I am thinking of getting the biggest one, Thule
Atlantis 2100 (holds 21 cubic feet) - just to be sure we don't outgrow
it and need another one in a few years. I am wondering - how does it
affect gas mileage. Would there be a big difference between the 1600
(holds 16 cubic feet) and 2100 as far as the drag?

I never noticed how many people driving up to a ski mountain have
these until I started to need one... skis sticking over the seat and
into baby's face is not a good look (just kidding, don't call child
services just yet). Anyway, I couldn't find this info online, so I
thought I'd ask my fellow skiers who may have one...

Thanks!

Snip...

I have the 1800 (older version) and I love it. Seems to be plenty of room
for 4 pair of skis and then some. Also great for luggage when we travel.

Got it from these guys:

I have an Expedition and the stock luggage rack rails are flimsy. So, I got
rid of those and got the Thule luggage rack bars with the quick release and
locks. It's a nice system. Easy to install and remove.

Hope that helps.

You bet, I compared all the manufacturers out there and it came do to
the Thule. Solid design, holds a ton of gear, we wouldnt go skiing
without it.
