Question:
Ive got a 2020 Ford Explorer ST. Its outfitted with factory roof rails and the Yakima 8000154 TimberLine Kit Roof Rack with 60inch CoreBars. Can I use the Thule Hullavator Pro with the Yakima CoreBars and if so, can I fit 2 Hullavators on the Explorer? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
As long as the Yakima Timberline Roof Rack Kit with 60" Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00422 on your 2020 Ford Explorer have 4-8" of overhang as shown in the included diagram then you will not have any issues using the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898.
Now while multiple Hullavators will physically fit, they weigh in at 44lbs each, and the roof rack weighs in around 15lbs your two kayaks would only be able to weigh 31lbs each which is pretty unlikely.
More than likely you will only be able to use one of the Hullavators unless you have very light kayaks.
I included a video of the # TH898 for you to take a look at.
