Here are the fully installed pictures. The rear bar looks a little further up, but it is spaced so that a Yakima SkyBox 18 cargo case will clear the hatch when mounted on the cross bar.
Lastly, here is the clearance between the Sunroof and the Bar. It's between 1"-2" clearance.

Comparing retail to retail price, the Thule is not that much more expensive. The only piece you'll have to pay retail for the Thule would be the Fit Kit. The bars and feet can be found discounted.
Also, according to the Telluride owners manual (4-172), the roof rack can support up to 220 lbs max (evenly distributed). The WingBar Evo 150 is also rated for a maximum load of 220 lbs (evenly distributed) on their website. https://www.thule.com/en-us/roof-ra...nd-accessories/thule-wingbar-evo-150-_-711520
The factory cross bars are rated for 160 lbs.

It’s the 53”. I don’t see why not, as long as you can secure your load on both crossbars and is less the their load limit.
However, most people use it with specific accessories, many of which are “universal”. This is not a “luggage rack” of old. The top of your KT may be all scratched up if you put cargo directly on the roof.

I am not familiar with the Thule roof box mount. I was a Yakima owner and as such I have a Yakima Cargo Box. My Yakima has a built-in clamp and that worked with my 4Runner roof rack so it should work with this Thule. If your cargo box has clamp they should work as well. If it is bolted on, the WingBar can accommodate T-Bolts.

I went out and drove with the WingBar to see how much noise the cross bar added. Noise is very subjective, and since I can not do a double blind test, it is difficult to say definitively that it got louder.
I can definitely say that it doesn't whistle and any noise from the rack is not too bad. It seemed "louder" between 40-50 mph rather than 60-70 mph but it could be my imagination since I am purposely listening for noise.
Overall, if there is increased noise, it's not bad at all...
