Question:

What crossbars would I need to install two Thule Hullavators on a 2004 GMC Yukon XL that has factor installed roof racks?

asked by: Becky H

Expert Reply:

I reached out to a representative of Thule who said the bars needed for your 2004 GMC Yukon XL would be the 69 inch Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713600 along with Thule Foot Pack 450R in order for you to have the space to carry a pair of Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers # TH898.

They did say that Thule does not recommend using a pair of Hullavators due to weight capacity concerns and that the warranty would be voided by using a pair of Hullavators.

Due to this you may want to forego using a pair of these and only using a single Hullavator and a single Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier # TH849000.

To lock either of these you can use the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200 or you can have them all keyed alike with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400.

I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well.
