Hullavator Roof Rack Installation on a 2025 Toyota 4Runner
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is a rugged SUV that’s a top choice for driving in Edmonton and weekend adventures across Alberta. With factory raised rails, it is rack-ready, but only with the correct components and a vehicle-specific fit. For this installation, our team installed a Thule Hullavator PRO load assist. The result is a strong, clean base rack built specifically for lifting and carrying kayaks with ease.
Dialled-In Roof Rack Fitment on a 2025 Toyota 4Runner
This Toyota 4Runner features pre-installed crossbars, so our our team made sure to install the two Hullavators so they fit accurately and securely onto the crossbars. To safely support the added weight and leverage, proper care, time and measuring during the install process is critical.
What We Installed on This Toyota 4Runner
Why This Rack Setup Works for Edmonton Drivers
- Gas-assist system makes kayak loading easy at any height
- Compatible with a wide range of Thule Hullavator accessories
- Allows for more accessible and hassle-free Alberta paddling trips
Important Fit Note: Hullavator Clearance and Bar Requirements
The Hullavator requires 4 - 6 inches of clearance on the side of the vehicle to ensure the lift assist arms can fully extend without obstruction. Because this adventurer wanted a dual Hullavator system, our team ensured the vehicle was ad the proper clearance on both sides before we began the installation process.
Not sure if your vehicle can support a Hullavator? Our team will confirm compatibility and recommend the correct setup before installation. Just drop by the shop and start up a conversation with us, we'd love to help you out.
