In order to mount the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 on the factory flush rails of your 2017 Lexus GX 460, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" # Y00421. One of the great features of the CoreBars is that it combines the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. The Thule Motion XT XL will be able to clamp onto the CoreBars.

For a complete roof rack system for your 2017 Lexus GX 460, I recommend these additional parts:

- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 30 # Y25ZR
- Same-Key System Locks # Y07204

With this crossbar system, you will be able to transport cargo and your Thule Motion XT XL on your 2017 Lexus GX 460. In addition, you will also be able to fully open your rear hatch with the cargo box attached.

Answer 7

I checked with Yakima regarding the crossbar length, and they do say 50, which is odd for your 49 inch rails. With that distance between your rails, don't use the 50 inch bars, use the 60 inch long JetStream bars, either Silver #Y00429 or Black…

Hey Bo, it is not normal for the Yakima 60 inch HD crossbars like the part #Y01156 to have a downward bow in the middle of them. They should be basically totally flat. I attached a picture of what they should look like for you to check out.
