Roof Rack for 2016 Toyota Avalon to Carry Thule Hullavator Assisted Kayak Carrier  

Updated 05/21/2019 | Published 05/20/2019



Question:

My 2016 Toyota Avalon hybrid has a naked roof with sunroof. Id like to install a rack to carry an old and very heavy tandem kayak. Can I use the Hullavator? If not, can you recommend a rack system? I already have the J kayak holders they are Sportcraft brand but they look like theyd fit on any rack.

Expert Reply:

If your tandem kayak weighs less than 75 lbs and is less than 36 inches in width it can be carried on the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you referenced. You will need to add a roof rack to your 2016 Toyota Avalon with a naked roof to allow the carrier to mount. For that I recommend the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK361 because this rack has aero shaped bars which minimize wind noise, is very easy to install, and has top channels which makes installing the Hullavator very easy.

I attached a review video for the Hullavator for more info for you to check out as well.
