Will Malone AriFlow2 and Thule Hullavator Fit on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Question

Question:

I have a Thule Hullavator TH898 and was wondering if MPG216 Malone Air Flow 2 Universal Roof Rack for Elevated, Factory Side Rails - Aero Style Load Bars - 58inch Long is long enough for the Hullavator to be placed in a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, the 58" long crossbars for the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 will provide you with enough length to properly install the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder.

Thule confirms that the Hullavator Pro will work with their 53" long crossbars so the extra 5" from the Malone system just means more clearance.

The Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Carrier and Lift Assist part #Y04081 requires about 42" of crossbar space. Therefore, you'd wouldn't be able to realistically fit two side by side. I'd suggest using the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier…
