Question:

Thank you for the info. You have been very helpful. Knowing how much I will need to spend and what part #s I will need is the expert info that I need. I will be making a purchase just as soon as I save enough for all needed equipment. These are not exactly cheap to get set up. But thanks again.

Helpful Expert Reply:

For your application I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo setup because it looks great and is easy to use and install. The parts you'll need for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder include the following:

53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711420
Evo Raised Rail Feet - # TH710401
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

This will allow you to use the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 but you may need to offset your crossbars to gain enough clearance according to Thule.

Attached is an installation video of this roof rack system and the Hullavator Pro on different year models of the Pathfinder for you to check out.

Thank you for the feedback! If you'd like a most cost-effective roof rack you can go with the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216. This will still work out but it's a bit more clunky and doesn't have the quality behind it like the Thule does - it will still serve it's purpose though and allow you to start using the Hullavator Pro sooner.
