Recommended Roof Rack For Attaching A Thule Hullavator To A 2021 Toyota Highlander
Question:
HiApparently Thule does not offer a roof rack including bars, feet, etc. so I can install a Hullavator Pro on my 2021 Highlander. But Ive read somewhere that the Hullavator is compatible with some Yakima rack components. Can you suggest which Yakima components I should order with the Hullavator Pro so I can install the whole thing on my Highlander with flush rails? Thanks.

To attach the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 to your 2021 Toyota Highlander you'll need a roof rack that has a T-Slot in the crossbars for the Hullavator to slide into.
Currently the only brand of roof racks we carry for your vehicle that are compatible with your flush mounted rails is Yakima. I recommend the following parts to complete your roof rack:
Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long # Y01156
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems # Y53TR
Landing Pad 28 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers # Y66VR
HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03541
The crossbars in this setup have a T-Slot that will allow you to slide in your Hullavator. The Hullavator does require the crossbar to extend past the tower by 4" so you may need to slide the crossbars more to one side to ensure proper fitment for the Hullavator.
