Will Hullavator Pro Fit OEM Roof Rack on 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid  

Updated 07/26/2019 | Published 07/25/2019



Question:

Hi. I have a Wilderness Systems Pungo 120. I purchased and built a trailer from you last year malone Xtralite and its great for when I want to take a friend with me and need to haul more than one of my 3 kayaks. I am considering the Hullovator for when I want to go solo but want to know what my options are for kitting that out. Can you advise me? thanks very much. Please note that my rav is the hybrid model and may be different than the regular 2017 rav...

I checked with Thule and if you have the factory roof rack on your 2017 Toyota RAV4 it isn't compatible with the Thule Hullavator Pro 3 TH898. If you are really wanting to use this kayak carrier then you need to upgrade your roof rack as well. I recommend the WingBar Evo setup which includes 47" Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220 WingBar crossbars and the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401.

One of the best things about using the same brand for a roof rack and accessory is the ability to use the same key for all parts involved. For this you need the Kit # TH450600.

We also have other load assist options available for kayaks and I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation if you aren't set on the Hullavator.
