Expert Reply:

I do have a solution for you that will allow you to carry a Thule Hullavator Pro, part # TH898, on your 2021 Toyota RAV4. The first thing you will need is a roof rack for your vehicle. Your vehicle will have either raised or flush rails. If you have the raised rails on your RAV4, your roof rack will consist of the following:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420, and
Rapid Crossroad Feet for Thule Crossbars - Raised Railing - Qty 4, part # TH450R.

This roof rack has a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs, which is more than the minimum weight limit, 130 lbs, you need for the Thule Hullavator. If your RAV4 has flush rails, your roof rack will consist of the following items:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420
Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4, part # TH460R
Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3177, part # THKIT3177.

This roof rack also has a maximum weight limit of 165 lbs. I do recommend the you add the Thule One Key System Lock Cores, part # TH450400. This way you can lock your roof rack to your vehicle.
