Question:

Hello, I have a 2023 Toyota RAV4 with flush mount side rails. Im interested in the Yakima Showdown or Thule Hullivator, but I need crossbars that stick out. What would you recommend? Thank you! Cathy

Hi Cathy,

To ensure that you can get the extra extension to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you'll want to go with a Yakima roof rack system. Yakima crossbars run their mounting track the entire length of the crossbar so you can go with ones that are longer than your typical length without worrying if the mounting feet will be able to connect. You'll want the following components:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Black - 60" Long # Y00426 or silver # Y00429
SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
Landing Pad 23 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y98FR

@KevinM The Hullavator # TH898 requires approximately 28.5" of space on the crossbar so you'd need to have at least a 60" crossbar and for the crossbar to stick out 4" past the towers on both sides of the vehicle for two to mount. If the mounting points on your vehicle wouldn't give you 4" past the towers on both sides then you'll need to go with longer crossbars. You'll also need to ensure that you're not overloading your roof with the two carriers (43.5lbs each) and kayaks.
