Roof Rack And Canoe Carrier For A 2020 Hyundai Palisade With A Naked Roof

Question:

Hello! I have a 2020 Hyundai Palisade and I would like to get a roof rack for a canoe. There are no rails on top of the car, the roof is pretty much bare. I am a little confused about what kind of rack I need to get, is it possible to send you a photo of the roof of the car and get a recommendation? Thank you!

For your 2020 Hyundai Palisade, we do have a couple of options for a roof rack.

The first option you can use is the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 with the towers # Y28TR, and the fit kit # Y06145 & # Y06138.

These cross bars are rated for 165lbs, and measure 60" long. These cross bars are aerodynamic, have a t-track channel for roof mounted accessories, and will provide a quiet, low-profile option that will work great with your Palisade.

The other option you can choose from is the Round 58" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00426, with the same towers and fit kit as # Y00426 , but also will need the RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536.

These cross bars measure 58" long, and have a maximum weight capacity dependent on what you're planning on carrying. Since you mentioned your waned to transport one canoe, you will have plenty of capacity.

The choice is up to you on which one you want as they'll both work just fine for what you're wanting to do, however I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 over the RoundBar.

The top t-channel and the aerodynamic design is very enticing, and has a bit more length for roof mounted accessories.

As far as a canoe carrier goes, If you're looking for one, the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069 is a great option and will allow you to carry a single canoe, and will also fit great on the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426.

If you want you can absolutely send a picture in so we can 100% identify what you need.
