I'm going to go ahead and respectfully disagree that we're idiots, Paul. I'm confident we can figure out the combination for a roof rack on your 2024 Kia Telluride, and there are three possible options Kia has for your roof - flush-mounted rails, raised side rails, and a bare roof.

I made some diagrams below showing test fits on a Kia Telluride with photos from the nice folks at Yakima so you can see the difference (please note these are just test fit photos, and not exactly how the rack will look - they won't be that long over the edge and do have end caps). Flush side rails will have no space at all underneath them, raised side rails will have space under them, and a bare roof will, of course, not have rails at all.

I do recommend going with Yakima as they have very high-quality, super-quiet rack systems that are easy to use and install. Here is what you will need for your 2024 Telluride depending on your roof situation:

Flush-Mounted Roof Rails
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00428 or Black # Y00425
- SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # Y64AR
- SightClip Fit Kit # Y34UR

Raised Side Rails
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00429 or Black # Y00426
- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # Y33TR

Bare Roof (No Rails)
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00429 or Black # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06125
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06165

I do also recommend considering locks to keep your investment secure, and for all three of the rack systems above you can lock them to your roof with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204.

The Malone Universal Crossbar System #MPG201 is a more economical choice but it still does a good job. The design and quality of Thule's system is why they have such a large difference in price. Whether you go with the Thule Crossroads system…
