Question:

Im planning on buying the Transit Connect and I understand the factory crossbars are made by Thule. Do they extend far enough out to use the Thule Hullavator. If not, which Thule crossbars would work? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on a 2020 Ford Transit Connect you will need a crossbar at least 53" long. That said, I do not believe a Ford Transit Connect comes with a factory roof rack so you can either go the aftermarket route or though the dealer which is the same as the aftermarket route though you will pay more.

I recommend the aftermarket route; Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3032 if you have a bare roof.
