What's the difference between this and the Vertex 9031? According to Thule's comparison app on their site, there's no difference other than price.

Snug-tite reciever lock, which eliminates bike rack shake and is convenient compared to a hitch lock.

I believe the 9031 uses a screw and bolt to attach to the hitch, when the 9029 uses a turn handle which locks a lever into the hole on the hitch. And that uses a key. As for usage, it's fairly the same. Swing arm, four bikes, anti sway, etc.Hope that helps.

I am not familiar with the Vertex 9031. I highly recommend the Thule 9027 Swing Away.

Besides one being black and the other one being grey the Apex comes with a cable lock for the bicycles and a built in locking mechanism for where it plugs into the receiver.

This is an OEM VW part, not Thule. It includes the two cross bars and mounting equipment (feet). Although it's an easy install, I opted to take it to my local VW dealer and have it installed by them (which they'll only do with authentic VW parts). The bars have a unique elliptical shape. I needed the bars for my road bike, so I opted for a Yakima fork mount and SKS lock cores.

Based on http://edgecraft.com/tips_qrfman.html , the shape and $2.00 difference in price??

Its the same! It could be that the higher price one is a version thaats a year newer that may have brand new roads.I would not trust it because there are no buyers for that one. Its probably the same. Stick with the one I got. You will be very happy. Safe trip Jerry Steve A.

As far as I can tell from my research (incl. reading instructions), there's no difference except price: Zadro 365 costs less!! Wish I had seen it first.

There differences are slight and I have show cased them in this video ==> http://dai.ly/x12fwc1 The main difference is price.

I doubt there is any difference. I bought this one and really like it. Would reccommend.

It's not exactly the same. The biggest difference is that is does not have a drain on the float bowl. It bolted on my snowblower and started right up. Hope this helps. Can't beat the price.

The specifications for each are online. One has greater wattage and runtime and projects a longer distance. You can compare to determine which one would suit your intended application.

those are just the cross bars you need to buy model specific footpacks and use the 2 together. Check the Thule website for application information.

I can't compare the two, but reviews I read indicated specs for the 140 were better at the edges. I bought the 140 several months ago, and am very pleased with quality and speed.

Not 100% sure but I think the difference is that the graphics comes with a cozy foot cover..I really wanted it but.... I never use it so I so t think it's worth the extra $

I couldn't find the difference. Looks like there may be just a price difference between vendors.

I researched both before I purchased mine and determined that there wasn't a significant difference. I'm currently happy with this (but I guess I wouldn't know if something large enough to be damaging has occurred since I installed it). The specs and ratings looked functionally similar, however the more expensive one has a lifetime limited vs 10 year warranty and the $25k equipment coverage.

sorry I can't answer ifthere is a difference, but if you flying 4 ch hali's lik ethe v911, this is a great outdoor step up, and highely recommended!

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

FYI, I've learned that the VSX-9040 is the Canadian version of the VSX-21TXH. The only difference between the US version and the Canadian version is the Canadian version doesn't carry the "ELITE" emblem and I think the warranty period is shorter. However, the VSX-9040 has more power than the VSX-1019 and pretty much all the same features. So I am leaning toward either the VSX-9040 or the VSX-21TXH.
