Question:

Hi Jon, Thanks for the quick reply, I have 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with Crew Cab (4 full size doors) and nothing on the roof for attachment.

Expert Reply:

The word from Thule is that their new WingBar crossbars are backwards compatible but the older AeroBlade crossbars won't work with the newer feet. If you let me know what the year/make/model is of your vehicle I can see if your vehicle uses the older feet or not so we can get you a roof rack.

Thank you for the information! I recommend sticking with a Thule roof rack for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab simply because they make quality parts that are easy to install and they look great. Here are the parts you'll need for the naked roof on your truck: 60" Crossbars - WingBar Evo # TH711520 or SquareBar # TH712500 Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501 Fit Kit - # TH145071 Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional) The WingBar Evo are the upgrade to the AeroBlade bars you currently have while the SquareBar kit gives you the classic square crossbars that a lot of people still like to use. I personally like the WingBar Evo better because it looks better and they are compatible with more accessories than the square crossbars generally are.
