That version of the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 requires a Thule roof rack to fit to the vehicle so for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma extended cab you'd need the part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145107 and you'd be set.

The Evo fit kit you mentioned will not fit with the 480 kit that was phased out by Thule. Best option for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab will be an all new roof rack like with the WingBar Evo part #TH711420, #TH710501, and #TH145107.

There are a couple of great roof racks for your 2012 Honda Accord coupe, though you will need to use one that mounts to a bare roof as there are not custom installation options. Roof racks that attach to your bare roof mostly use clamps and have…

The Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack #RR78TR is a newer system designed to be extremely low profile. The exact roof clearance depends on how much your roof slopes. When we installed this on a 2019 Nissan Rogue, we found the clearance from the roof to the…

The only solution to reducing wind noise on a roof rack, like your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 54" #RRVA137B-2, is to install a wind fairing / deflector. To determine which size to get, measure the usable crossbar space between the…

Answer 12

There are a couple of really good options for roof racks that fit your 2018 Honda CR-V with a naked roof, but the now-discontinued Thule Crossroad Kit would not fit as it is only designed for raised side rails. For a similar rack from Thule that does…
