Roof Rack Recommendation for 2021 Toyota RAV4 for Use with Hullavator
Updated 07/06/2026 | Published 06/28/2026
Question:
I have a 2021 Toyota Rav4 with flush rails. My factory roof rack wont work so I am looking for the best roof rack system that will work with the Hullavator Pro and provided the proper extension past the mounting posts. Would a Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar Roof Rack work and provide the proper extension requirement at the sides of my Rav4? If not, are there other roof rack options that would work with the Hullavator and my Rav4?

Hey Savannah, yes the Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack part # TH33SG would be what you'd want for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 to install and use the Thule Hullavator kayak carrier part # TH898. This rack was test fit on your vehicle and the Hullavator and it does fit and work great. What kind of kayak do you have?

Thanks Jameson! I have a Hobie Mirage Passport 10.5. Hoping the Hullavator will make solo trips with the kayak a lot easier to manage.
