Recommended Roof Rack for a Hullavator on a 2020 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Chevy Colorado crew cab with a bare roof that I want to carry two kayaks with. My wife and daughter are small but would like to be able to load the kayaks onto the Colorado. I was looking at the Thule Hullavator and was wondering what roof rack I should use that meets the requirements of the Hullavator.

The best option for a roof rack on your 2020 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab is going to be the Roof Rack by Rhino Rack. This rack is also compatible with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier item # TH898. The Hullavator does require longer crossbars to allow the kayak to be lowered down 36" for easy loading and unloading. You will need the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA150B-2

Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRLKVA

Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof item # DK330
