Does Thule Hullavator Fit Older TracRac Ladder Rack Crossbars
Published 10/29/2024
Question:
I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado not sure this info matters. I have a older pre-Thule TracRac Rack. I have been just throwing the kayaks on top and ratchet strapping my kayaks and works fine but was wondering if the hullavator would attach to the TracRac or if modifications would be required? I can't tell from any of the pictures exactly how they attach, hence my question. Thanks

Hi Bengy,
Without knowing your exact ladder rack it's hard to give you a definitive answer, especially because it's older, but does it have the top channels? If so then yes, the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work because it comes with hardware that allows it to fit directly in the top channels.
The Hullavator also comes with clamps, but those are just for standard-sized roof rack crossbars, as opposed to the wider bars on ladder racks.

The top of the racks have a channel that is identical to the currently available TracRac TracONE. So I guess the hullavator would fit then?
