Will Two Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers Work on a 2023 Ford Bronco with Raised Side Rails
Question:
Looking to get two Thule hullavators for my 2023 bronco 4dr. Currently no roof rack Is there a roof rack you suggest to use for the hullavators. Thanks

I do have an option for you but Thule does not recommend using two Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers part # TH898 together on the same vehicle due to both the amount of crossbar space they require and their weight. Instead, I recommend using one Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and one Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier part # TH849000. If you have one kayak which is heavier than the other, that is the one I'd use with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier.
If you don't already have a roof rack to use with the carriers, I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System composed of part # Y00426 and part # Y33TR which attaches to the raised side rails. Unfortunately, we do not have any other roof rack options if there are no raised side rails so you would need to get these added from the dealer.
