Question:
I have a 2021 Honda Pilot with factory rails and crossbars. I would like to add Thule Hullivators to both sides of this car, but do not know if I can mount them on the factory crossbar they do not extend beyond the edge of the car by clamping a Thule crossbar onto the existing, or do I remove the rail and/or crossbar and install a Thule Crossbar? Your expertise would be appreciated!

Helpful Expert Reply:
You definitely need new crossbars that stick out beyond the feet of your 2021 Honda Pilot's roof rack in order to use the Hullavator, part # TH898.
I'm not sure your roof can handle the weight of a roof rack, two Hullavators, and your two kayaks so I first recommend finding out its capacity. If you can carry it all then I recommend the Thule roof rack using # TH711420 or # TH711400 along with # TH460R and # THKIT3132.
