Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid for Thule Hullavator
Question:
I need a Thule hullavator on my 2018 Highlander XLE Hybrid. Can I install 70 inch Yakima corebars supported by skyline towers?

Expert Reply:
To install the Thule Hullavator Assisted Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on the roof of a vehicle all you need is an aftermarket roof rack that has an overhang of 4-8 inches through the foot of the rack. Yakima aero shaped Corebars don't have a channel on the top of them for this to mount to though so your best option is a Thule Aerobade roof rack if you are wanting to use the better aero shaped style of crossbars.
For that the Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack part numbers # TH711520, # TH480R, and # THKIT1803 would be your best option for the naked roof of your 2018 Toyota Highlander.
