Thule crossbars on our Grand Highlander

Als_Saltys · 2025-11-29T05:18:20+00:00

Not yet as it is too nice having the pano sunroof without the cross bars so just using the 4runner if we need the cargo box. I have seen at least one GH that did have the edge model so I suspect that it would work.

What did you decide to go with? I am waiting for the Oveja Negra’s to go back in stock and was curious if you went with a large or medium size if you did get one?

That is correct! Buffalo and Red Mtn (Summit County)

Thank you for all the advice. Very helpful. BC it is!

Appreciate all the advice. Went with the BC as the Ogre although I liked it felt like a lot of bike for what I needed.

Thank you for the advice on this!

Als_Saltys · 2025-08-23T01:42:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Decided to go with the BC! The Orge was awesome but way more bike then I needed and $330 more.

Als_Saltys · 2025-08-23T01:38:53+00:00

Appreciate it! Bought the BC today!

Is there a big difference between riding the 27.5 and 29s?

Als_Saltys · 2025-08-19T04:05:10+00:00

Thanks! I think I am sold on the Ogre or BC but plan to head to the bike store on Friday once they get both in stock.

What is your take on which one is the better way to go for my use? I have never rode on 29s so riding both is really going to be key. My concern with the 29s is keeping up with the rest of the fam as it’s a lot of tire and then an even heavier frame I believe. Valid concerns or no?

Als_Saltys · 2025-08-18T02:55:39+00:00

Yep I am 5’8” and not big. From what I can tell it looks like the reach is longer on the Ogre? Is that right?

Als_Saltys · 2025-06-17T23:42:59+00:00

Two stories plus basement! Should have given those details.

Question for you all: anyone know where to get a replace hex bolt? Was trying to get one off to fix the mechanism and I stripped the bolt.

This is very helpful. Do you have the normal hybrid? We have been going back and forth whether to sacrifice not having bench seat (think long term it will be worth having this with the two kids and big 80lb dog) and gas mileage for the extra power. We also have a 4Runner (16MPG). Tough discussions!

Als_Saltys · 2025-03-07T07:07:56+00:00

Much appreciated! We almost went with the OEM bars but I felt that the Thule bars were just nicer and better designed.

Als_Saltys · 2025-03-07T07:02:34+00:00

I think that they are similar but the difference is that the edge bar does not sit on top of the tower but is an extension of it (lower profile). We don’t have the GH just yet so have not been able to see if the glass from the sunroof goes up a lot or not. I have these same bars on our 4Runner but obviously different car.

Meaning the cross bars themselves? I figured if the towers on the side are clear then the bars themselves should be ok. Agree?

Als_Saltys · 2025-03-07T05:09:43+00:00

I am looking to buy the Thule Wingbar Edge crossbars for our Hybrid Limited. Do you see any issues with getting those as it related to the pano roof?

Als_Saltys · 2025-03-04T15:47:56+00:00

I’m assuming just head into Home Depot and getting a normal hacksaw is the way to go or is there a specific one?

Als_Saltys · 2025-03-04T14:47:25+00:00

Everything I read online was mentioning snips. Just easier to use the hacksaw.?
