Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2023 Kia Telluride with Raised Side Rails
Question:
Hello, I’ve got 2023 Telluride XPro with raised roof rails. I’m looking for options and recommendations for transporting a canoe. Appreciate any info and insights! Thank you

You'll need to install a roof rack that adds crossbars that run from side to side on the roof of your 2023 Kia Telluride that currently has raised rails. For that you'd want the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711420 and # TH710401 for a rack that is very well-made, easy to install, and quieter due to the aero bar shape.
Then to carry a canoe the Thule Portage part # TH819 would be a great option that will carry the canoe upside down.
