I rarely leave reviews but I have ordered a few items from etrailer lately and will say that I am impressed with how quickly they get my order shipped and how quickly it gets here.
by: Janice 03/14/2024
Everyone was very friendly and helpful, like a Good Neighbor. Very much 'Old Fashion' care and support!
by: Kayaker04/15/2023
I really like these j-style folding kayak roof rack mounts. They are very low profile and I am able to leave them on while I drive a standard 5th generation 4Runner through a standard 7 foot garage door.
by: Binner06/30/2023
Love the ability to use a T-bolt for my rack system and that it came with keys/lock! Pricey but quality product. Easier to use and than my Yakima Bow Down.

Thanks etrailer, your YouTube videos are very helpful. I have a 2013 Ford F-150 and was looking for kayak transportation solutions. I already had that Thule Evo Wing Bars and needed to find something to go with that. I first tried the Thule Hullavator but that proved to not work. 1: The combined weight of the bars, kayaks and 2 Hullavators exceeded my roof weight limit. 2: The 60” bars are not long enough to allow the Hullavator to swing down over the side of the cab. So, I switched to the Hullaport Aero which I ordered from etrailer. The website ordering was simple and shipping was super fast! The package was well boxed and the installation of the Hullaport Aero was super simple on the Thule Wing Bar Evo. Thanks! I would highly recommend you and would do business with you again in the future.

This was a very satisfactory affordable alternative to the higher priced racks with T slot. I did find that inserting the bolt for Thule Hull-a-Port carrier required that I pull the noise-reducing strip, cut it down, and reinstall it. The instructions that the strip could just be pushed down did not work for these bolts -- just too large. Overall pleased once I played with it a bit.
by: Austin 08/21/2022
Overall pleased with the kit. Everything locks which is nice and also great being able to fold them down. Price would be my only complaint, not etrailer, but thule and what they charge for these seems a bit much compared to other setups.

High Quality, Easy Install. Product was back ordered but still arrived in a timely manner.
Very strong, durable and tough construction. I like the fold down feature.

These racks are high quality and have met all my expectations.
by: Jonathan 08/08/2022
These were easy to install and use, and I love that I can still park in my garage.
by: Jonathan 09/13/2021
I bought two sets of these, and got them put on in less than an hour. Used them for the first time this morning and they were very secure. Also let me keep parking in my garage when folded down. Totally pleased with this purchase.
by: ML09/23/2021
Great, sturdy product! Easy to install and use. Highly recommended!
by: Jeff 07/18/2020
Really high quality - can't wait to drop the yaks on 'em!

This thing is solid. Love the clean look of attaching it to the aero rail t-slots. Worth the price in my opinion.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Watersport Carriers
- Kayak Rack Options for the Thule Xsporter Pro CrossbarsThe Thule Hullaport Pro part # TH849000 can fit into the top channels of a Thule Xsporter Pro ladder rack since it was designed for attaching to load bar top channels. This is a folding carrier like you wanted as well.
view full answer... - Is the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak Carrier Compatible With Rhino-Rack Accessory BarsRhino-Rack accessory bars like the Rhino-Rack Accessory Bars # RR43232B install onto Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Racks. This style makes the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, Canoe, and SUP Roof Rack # MAL38FR or other clamp-on racks incompatible. This is because of the Pioneer Platform running underneath the accessory bars, which interferes with the clamps of the clamp on accessories. You would instead need to use a channel (track) mount carrier like the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Roof Rack...
view full answer... - Can You Put Two Thule Hullavators On a 2019 Jeep CherokeeI wish I could give you what you wanted but we get this question a lot and the answer is always the same, we don't recommend using two Thule Hulavator Kayak Carriers part # TH898 on the same roof. This has to do with both capacity requirements and crossbar space. The carrier weighs 40 lbs and when you combine that with the weight of the kayaks, you're very likely over the capacity of your roof (usually 165 lbs). The carrier also requires 28-1/2" of clearance so you when you double that,...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2018 Ford Edge SEL With Panoramic Vista RoofThe Yakima JetStream Roof Rack part numbers # Y00426, # Y28TR, # Y06102, and # Y06139 would be the most modern roof rack we offer for your 2018 Ford Edge with the totally naked glass roof. It's aerodynamically the best designed crossbar which makes it the quietest and also has a top channel you can attach accessories in that were designed for that type of attachment. I attached a picture of this rack installed on a similar Ford Edge as well as a link to an install video. For a kayak carrier...

- Transporting A Second Kayak On A Thule Wingbar Or StackerYou will be fine transporting your second kayak on the stacker. It is a recreational kayak, so it will be fine on its side. It will also save you from purchasing a second accessory. But if you want to transport your kayak laying flat you will only be limited by the space available on your crossbars. I would transport your 2nd kayak on its hull because it makes loading the kayak on the roof easier, especially without a 2nd person. You should not transport it directly on top of your crossbars. The...
view full answer... - How to Install Thule Hull-A-Port T-Slot Kayak Carrier on a 2020 Subaru ImprezaThe Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 is a model specifically designed to mount into T-Slot channels on crossbars so since your OEM 2020 Subaru Impreza crossbars don't have this your only option is to install aftermarket crossbars that do have the T-Slots, and for that I recommend the Malone roof rack: - Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 This is a cost-effective solution to your problem which is why I recommend it. This system is a bit more clunky than you'll...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2008 Honda Fit for Carrying Kayak CarrierFor your 2008 Honda Fit the Inno roof rack part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK219 is a confirmed fit and would do a great job carrying a kayak carrier. For the carrier we have the Thule Hullaport part # TH849000 which will do a great job and is compatible. It's padded, can fold down when not in use, and can be expanded to carry a second kaya if ever needed.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a Kayak Carrier On a 2023 Kia TellurideI recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Kia Telluride. You will need the Crossbars # TH711420, Feet # TH710601 and Fit Kit # TH77JV to fit your flush mounted roof rails. I prefer these rails as they have the 2 piece rubber strip which will allow you to use the channel mounted accessories like the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Roof Rack # TH849000.
view full answer... - Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for a 2020 Ford ExplorerThe WingBar Evo roof rack is what you need to add aero-style Thule crossbars to your 2020 Ford Explorer. This roof rack consists of the 60" long WingBar Evo crossbars, Black # TH711520 or Silver # TH711500, along with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. These actually install fairly easily as the feet include straps that wrap around the raised rails on your Explorer. I have attached a sample installation video on a 2014 Explorer that you can reference. If you don't already have a carrier...
view full answer... - Dual Kayak Carrier for a 2015 Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCrew with Tonneau CoverIn order to carry two kayaks on your 2015 Ford F-150 you can do so on the roof with a roof rack or over the bed with a ladder rack. The ladder rack option will be more versatile and can hold more weight but the roof option will be more cost effective. For a roof rack, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK427. This system has aero shaped crossbars for reduced wind noise and locks for security. In order to secure your two...

- How To Carry Two Kayaks On a VW Factory Roof Rack with ChannelsIn order to carry two kayaks on a roof they need to be carried on their side as there isn't enough room for them to be laid flat. In order to carry two kayaks on their side you'll need a j-style carrier. Furthermore, if you have a factory roof rack that then limits the list of compatible j-style carriers because of the size of the crossbar and limited space under the crossbar and above the roof. I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier part # TH849000 because it mounts inside...
view full answer... - Does Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier Fit Mopar Roof Rack of Jeep Wrangler JLYes, the Thule Hullaport Aero part # TH849000 does fit the Mopar roof rack you have on the Jeep Wrangler JL that you mentioned since it has top channels like what this rack was designed to fit.
view full answer... - Truck Bed Ladder Rack That Can Carry Kayaks On A 2014 Ram 3500Yes, the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack would be a great option for you. Use # TH43003XT-501EX for the 6-1/2' bed without RamBox or use # TH43003XT-000EX for 8' bed. This is a very impressive system that uses three crossbars with built-in channels for accessories, and has a weight capacity of 1,250lbs. The front-most extension crossbar has a weight capacity of 1,000lbs. The two rear crossbars can slide along the bed rail to adjust for various accessories or loads. In regard...
view full answer... - Recommended Ladder Rack to Carry Kayaks on 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Pace Edwards JackrabbitThe best solution to carry kayaks, bikes or any other accessories that you might normally mount on crossbars that's also compatible with your Pace Edwards Jackrabbit with Explorer Rails # 311-JEC95A17 is the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 68" Crossbars # Y01151-58. You will also need the Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit # Y01155 to fit the rack to your Explorer rails, but this will give you an adjustable height ladder rack that will allow you to carry...
view full answer... - Can THule Hullaport XT Carry Bote SUPYes, the Thule Hullaport part # TH849000 can carry the Bote SUP that you mentioned.
view full answer... - How Can I Mount a Kayak Carrier with a Rooftop Cargo Bag?I have an answer for you. Since you have Thule AeroBlades that measure 36-38" wide and the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. # RL100S50, that leaves only 6-8 inches for the kayak carrier. We unfortunately do not have a kayak carrier option that is compatible with 6-8 inches of crossbar space. With that being said, the only way to transport a kayak carrier like the Thule Hull-a-Port # TH849000 is to remove the Sport Jr. from the rack. If you still want a bit of roof-top storage space, you can...
view full answer... - Can I Fit 2 SUPs on the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier # TH849000?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, you will not be able to carry 2 SUPs on the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000. However, with that being said, a great alternative is the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. With the Compass, you will be able to transport 2 SUPs as long as the width of the boards does not exceed 36 inches. The Compass comes with 4 tie-down straps with padded buckles to secure your SUPs to the carrier as well as...
view full answer... - Thule Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2021 Toyota 4Runner Limited With Raised RailsTo install the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 on your 2021 Toyota 4Runner I recommend the 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 with the Evo Feet # TH710401. The Thule One-Key System # TH450800 will provide you with 8 lock cylinders of which 4 can be used with the rapid feet, 2 with the kayak carrier and the other 2 can be kept as spares or used with additional Thule accessories so that you can have one key that works for all the locks.
view full answer... - Mounting Rhino-Rack accessories to Pioneer PlatformWith the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray part # RR35TB it is very possible to use an track munt type of accessory. The Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier part # S512 does not use channel or track mounts so it does not fit but the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH849000 would.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier that Fits 2015 Toyota Highlander with Factory Crossbars that is LockableYes the Thule Compass kayak carrier part # TH890000 that you referenced does fit the factory crossbars of your 2015 Toyota Highlander. Looking at the factory bars of your vehicle I don't think you'd be able to fit both the kayaks and a cargo box as well. The best solution to lock the Compass would be a cable lock like the Thule Cable Lock w/ One Key System Lock - 6' Long part # TH538XT. The Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH849000 is a carrier that can be locked...
view full answer... - Comparing Yakima JayLow and Thule Hullaport XT Kayak CarrierThe difference between the Thule Hullaport XT part # TH849000 and the Yakima Jaylow part # Y04073 is really pretty subtle as they are mostly the same design just from different brands. I'd recommend going which you like the appearance of the most since functionally you wouldn't have an advantage either way.
view full answer... - Replacement Kayak Carrier for First Generation Thule Hull-A-Port with Damaged BaseI checked with Thule and like you said they have all of the replacement parts essentially for the first generation Hullaport that you have except what you mentioned. This is most likely due to age at this point as after a number of years they start cutting back on the replacement parts they offer for the rack and their typical philosophy for base replacement parts on their bike racks is that if the base/main shank of the rack has been damaged the rest of the rack/carrier is compromised...

- J-Style Kayak Carrier Recommendation to Fit T-Slots of Adarac Pro Ladder RackWe've got exactly what you need! If you want standard J-Style cradles you can use the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs # TH834 but you will need the Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT11 to fit this to the T-Tracks on your Adarac Pro ladder rack. For something a little nicer we have the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 which comes with hardware to mount directly to the T-Slots so no adapter is needed. I personally like the Hull-A-Port Aero better because...
