Question:
Hey - Looking at a Hullavator. Need to know if it will work on a 2023 Mazda CX-5. At this time, I have no crossbars, so if you could recommend what to get, I would appreciate it!

Expert Reply:
In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 on your 2023 Mazda CX-5 you will need to have a roof rack with crossbars that extend 4"-8" past the roof rack feet.
If you have a roof that has no existing crossbars or rails, I recommend the 2023 Mazda CX-5 Roof Rack by Yakima which consist of the:
- Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
- HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06130
- BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06154
If you have flush mounted rails that run front to back on your CX-5, I recommend the 2023 Mazda CX-5 Roof Rack by Yakima which consists of:
- Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156
- SightLine Towers # Y64AR
- HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541
- SightClip Fit Kit # Y39AR
These crossbars are the longest availble for the 2023 Mazda CX-5, this will ensure that you have the proper space needed to use the Thule Hullavator Pro.
