The Thule Evo Roof Rack, which consists of # TH710401 and # TH712400 would allow you to carry the canoe. The kit offers a 165 lb weight capacity.

For a canoe carrier, I'd recommend the Thule Portage, part # TH819. The Portage provides 4 padded cradles, and includes straps to secure the canoe to the crossbars as well as bow/stern tie-downs.

Since you already have the Thule Aeroblade crossbars, you just need Rapid Podium Feet #TH460R and Fit Kit #THKIT3142 to fit your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with flush roof tracks. It looks like your Lincoln MKC used the Thule 53" crossbar but you…

To verify if the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars 47" #TH711220 on your 2020 Subaru Forester will work with the Thule Hullavator Pro #TH898 you will need to take a measurement. As you can see in the photo I attached for you, you will need to measure…
