Will The Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier Work On a Toyota RAV4?

Question

Question:

Hi, Im interested in a Thule Hullavator for my Rav4. Will this work? Will there be enough overhang? They recommend 4 to 8 with a Thule WingBar Evo? Or will I have to look at a different roof rack? Thank you, Julie

Julie, the only thing I can see you looked at is the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 which will need to be mounted to a roof rack on your RAV4. The 4-8" overhang is a general recommendation and if you can tell me what year RAV4 you have and if you have any factory rails, I can help you find the correct Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your application.
