Mounting Options For Thule 878XT On a 2015 Toyota Sequoia
Question:
Hi, I recently bought a used Thule Hullavator 878XT rail kit, but now am not clear what roof rack I need to buy to be able to use it. I have a 2015 Toyota Sequoia with factory installed crossbars. Can you recommend some options for me? Thanks!

The Thule 878XT you mentioned is actually a Set-To-Go Kayak Carrier, and not a Hullavator like the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898.
I was able to find some info on the Thule 878XT and you will need the included M6 X 60mm Bolt to install on to the factory crossbars on your 2015 Toyota Sequoia. While these are not available, I believe you could make the M6 X 65 mm carriage bolte by Thule work # TH26DH.
If you do have a Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 your crossbars will need to overhang 4-6 inches past the feet of your crossbars. I attached a picture that will show you how to measure this.
If the factory crossbars on your 2015 Toyota Sequoia do not offer enough overhang you can use the
Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Steel - 65" Long # MPG203 which is the longest crossbar option to ensure you have enough clearance to use the Thule Hullavator # TH898.
