Question:
I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory silver roof track. We are looking for a roof rack system for our kayaks. Eventually, we would like to get a Thule hullavator system for it, so it would need to be compatible with that. What would you recommend. Thanks

Hey Brian thanks for the information! The Thule Hullavator item # TH898 requires crossbars that extend out farther to allow the lift assist feature to function without hitting the doors on your Grand Cherokee.
The parts listed below are what I recommend you using to add a roof rack to your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory silver roof rails. The crossbars are longer to reflect the additional length you'll need:
1 Set - item # TH711520 60" Long Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Qty 2
1 Set - item # TH49SC Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars - Qty 4
1 Set - item # TH53ZE Fit Kit for Thule Evo Fixpoint Roof Rack Feet
I also recommend using the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders item # TH450600 to secure both your roof rack and your Hullavator. These lock cores can all be operated by the same key and they'll keep your investment from walking away while you're out enjoying the water.
We actually installed this same setup on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I attached a few pictures below and linked a review video so you can see what this roof rack Hullavator combo is going to look like when you get it installed.
What kind of kayaks do you have? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
