Load Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Toyota Sienna

Question:

Hi. Im 410inch and drive a Toyota Sienna. We want Kayaks, but my husband worries that I cant help much with loading them and could never handle one on my own. Are there any racks and load assists that would work for me?

The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 is an assisted-load kayak carrier that allows you to load the kayak at a lower height and then push the carrier and kayak up onto the roof. It's a great solution, but you need to have an aftermarket roof rack installed on your vehicle that has bars with a bit of an overhang on them past the mounting feet. If you do not have that style of rack and need one email me back with the year/make/model of your vehicle and I'll recommend that as well.
