Recommended Kayak Carrier for an 80-LB Kayak on a 2006 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Crossbars
Updated 04/06/2021 | Published 04/03/2021
Question:
I would like kayak carrier recommendations for a 2006 Toyota 4Runner limited with a factory rack. My kayak is a lifetime kokanee tandem sit-on-top. It is around 80 lbs. It is 10.6 ft. long with max width of 36 inch. I also have a 2006 Toyota Sienna with a factory rack that I may need to carry the kayak on at times as well. Both vehiclesfoot racks are rated for 150lbs.

I have a great recommendation for a kayak carrier for your 2006 Toyota 4Runner and Sienna.
It's the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S512. It is perfectly compatible with factory crossbars and has a weight capacity of 99 pounds. The tie-down straps are included as well.
I've linked to a video review of this carrier for you to look at.
