Can Two Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers Be Used On A Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack

Question

Question:

1. I have two hobie passport 10.5 which weight 65 lbs and are 34. I believe the weight is fine but wanted to verify that I can use a Thule TracRac SR TH43003XT-501 and two of the Hullavators TH898 on my 2022 F250 supercab to haul my kayaks. I want to use the TracRac so I can move the racks when towing a fifth wheel. 2. Also can I use one of the rack bars on the TracRac SR and a cross bar attached to my cab roof along with the two hullavators to haul my two kayaks? I would use this when towing. I have the ability to haul them on my hitch so this isnt as important question #1 Thanks

Yes, you can use two of the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist # TH898 on the Thule TracRac SR. It has plenty of capacity and space for both to fit, you'll just need to place the towers so that the crossbars are spaced 24" apart. For your 2022 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4' bed you'll need part # TH43003XT-785 for the TracRac.

The Thule Hullavator requires that the roof of the vehicle can hold at least 130lbs, but you'll be splitting this with the ladder rack. I'd just check with Ford to see if your roof can hold at least 130lbs to just be on the safe side. We don't currently offer a single Thule crossbar in the 60" length your F-250 would need, but we do offer a single Yakima crossbar in silver to help it match the TracRac. You'll need the following components to add a single crossbar to the roof:

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06185
Replacement BaseLine Tower for Yakima Crossbars - Qty 1 # 8880618 (you'll need two of these)
Yakima JetStream Crossbar - Aluminum - Silver - 60" Long - Qty 1 # 8880652
