Question:

I want to install two Hullivators which I already have on a 2021 Kia Telluride. Can you tell me if I need the 53inch cross bars or the 60inch cross bars?

The Thule Hullavator # TH898 requires at least 28" of crossbar space and 4"-8" outside of the side rails; so to use 2 Hullavators you're going to need at least 60" crossbars.

For a complete roof rack system that works with the Hullavator I recommend using the Thule Roof Rack System for 2021 Kia Telluride that uses parts # TH710601 and # TH77JV for the fit kit and towers on raised side rails. These parts are compatible with the Thule Wing Bar Evo # TH711500 (silver) or # TH711520 (black), which will also work with the Hullavator and are 60" long bars. Using the # TH710601, # TH77JV and one of those sets of bars will give you a nice, durable and good looking roof rack for your Telluride.

I've linked a review video of these bars for you to check out.
