Question:

Is the 53inch Evo WingBar long enough to accommodate 2 Hullavators and give enough clearance when Hullavators are lowered? I have a 2018 Chev Colorado - Crew Cab. Thank you

Expert Reply:

While the Thule WingBar Evo 53" Crosbars # TH711420 can fit two kayak carriers, you won't be able to use two of the Thule Hullavators # TH898. The Hullavators are 36" long, so you would need crossbars that are 72" long. Unfortunately, the longest crossbars available for your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado are only 55".

Instead, I recommend using two of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carriers # MPG114MD along with the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL to help load your kayaks.

For a roof rack, I recommend the Thule crossbars you were looking at. You will also need the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145179 to mount the crossbars to your vehicle. You can use T-Slot Fit Kit # MPG8287 to attach the Malone kayak carriers to the Thule crossbars.
