Q: I would like the dual kayak system as shown in the picture below for my 2010 GMC Canyon 4 Door Crew Cab. Can you please provide a required material list?
A: Here is what you will need for this set up on your 2010 GMC Canyon 4 door crew cab:
Thule 480 Traverse Half Pack Rack (includes 480 Traverse half foot pack, single LB58 load bar & 1461 fit kit) – This will be the single bar that will mount to the top of your truck cab.
Thule 997 GoalPost T-Bar Hitch Rack – This is the rear bar that will attach to your receiver hitch.
Thule 883 Glide & Set Kayak Rack x 2 – These are the kayak saddles and tie downs.

Q: I’m looking for a roof rack for my 2010 GMC Acadia with factory side rails – the Yakima online fit guide has 2 fits – how do I know which one to choose?
A: You are right, the Yakima online fit guide shows a fit for 2007-2012 with Yakima RailGrab roof rack and 48” bars. It also has a fit for 2010-2012 with Yakima RailGrab and 58” bars. There appears to be two different GMC Acadia side rail options starting in 2010. The main difference is that the rail bars that require 58” cross bars is a slimmer bar with an open track on the top. Have a look at the pictures below – you can compare to what you have and select the correct length crossbars for your 2010 GMC Acadia.
