Recommended Thule Roof Rack for 2 Thule Hullavator Pros on 2018 Toyota Highlander

Question:

I have used Thule square crossbars on my 2004 Honda Pilot to mount an X-Cargo 20 carrier when we go to Maine for the summer. In Maine, I would remove the cross bars and mount a second set of longer Thule square cross bars to which I would attach 2 Hullavator Pros. I recently traded in the Pilot for a 2018 Toyota Highlander which does not have the roof rails I used to mount both sets of cross bars. As I imagine you are aware, the Highlander has fixed mounting points. I was hoping that you could suggest the best options for mounting the X-Cargo and Hullavators on the Highlander at different times, of course. I realize that the Hullavators require longer cross bars, but I was hoping that there might be a single set of mounts that I could use. However, I dont have a problem with two completely different systems if necessary or significantly cheaper. Thanks for any help you can give.

The system you need consists of the foot pack # THKIT3134 for your fixed mounting points. Then you will need to use the Thule Podium Foot Pack # TH460R because the square load bars have been discontinued by Thule. This combination will allow you to use the Thule WingBar # TH711420 for your X-Cargo roof box. For two Hullavators # TH898 I recommend the Thule ProBar Evo # TH713700 which can be cut to the custom length needed.
