I have a Thule Hullavator 898 I want to attach to my 2022 Ford Bronco with a factory installed roof rack hope the photo helps. Which set of cross bars with mounts will work for me?

Expert Reply:

I didn't receive a photo but I can still help get you the parts you need. The Thule Hullavator item # TH898 requires 4"- 8" of additional crossbar space past the legs to allow the lift assist function to properly extend. The standard crossbar recommended for your 2022 Bronco item # Y00426 is 60" long we're going to go with a 70" to give you the extra clearance.

Since your Bronco has the side rails, you are going to want the roof rack by Yakima which includes the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 item # 8880650

TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y33TR

This roof rack has a 165 lbs capacity. It can be secured to your roof using the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204.
