• How to Carry a Kayak and a Canoe with a 2016 Ram 1500
  We have a couple of different options for you to haul a kayak and canoe with your 2016 Dodge Ram. One way to haul your kayak and canoe is with a truck bed ladder rack. I recommend going with the TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack # TA27000XTB. This is rated for 800 lbs so you can use it for more than just hauling your kayak and canoe. It is made of aluminum so it is strong and rustproof but also lightweight. You will need to use pads, like the Thule Surf Pad # TH802, to load your kayaks on...

  My contact at Yakima confirms that the Rack and Roll Trailer, part # Y08107, is compatible with Class I, II and III hitches and since late 2010 comes standard with a 2-inch coupler. Originally the trailer was supplied with a 1-7/8 coupler and a running production change was made to move to the 2-inch.

• How to Carry 2 Heavy Kayaks with a 2015 Subaru Outback
  The only solution I can recommend for you that will allow you to transport 2 kayaks that weight 92 lbs each would be to go with a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08106 with the tongue extender # Y08109 which is needed for the length of your kayaks. The roof capacity of your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon isn't high enough for what you are trying to do so I can't recommend anything that would allow you to exceed this figure. First let's start with a hitch. For that you will want the Draw-Tite...

• Parts Needed to Mount Kayaks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107
  On the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer, # Y08107, you will want to use a compatible kayak carrier unless you do not mind the kayaks sitting directly on the bars. I recommend a couple sets of foam blocks, # RL100K10, because they are cost effective and they come with bow and stern tie downs to secure the kayaks to the trailer. If your kayaks are longer than 17 feet, you will want to add the tongue extension, # Y08109, so the kayaks do not make contact with the tow vehicle. I have included...

• Carrying an 18-1/2 Foot Canoe and Tandem Bike on a 2018 Toyota Highlander with Factory Roof Rack
  There are canoe carriers that work with the bar spread of 27-1/2 inches on your 2018 Toyota Highlander. The Swagman Exo Aero # S65145 requires a minimum of 24 inches of bar spread. But I understand what you are saying. The canoe is so long you will need extra support. If your Highlander has a 2 inch trailer hitch or if you added one such as # e98844 you could then use a load extender such as the Yakima LongArm # Y01149 or MaxxTow extender # MT70231. These will essentially add a third...

  You could use a hitch extender or a longer ball mount with the Yakima Rack'n'Roll trailer # Y08107. However there are a couple of issues.

• Will 2 Kayaks Fits on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
  The Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08106 can hold 2 kayaks. If you are placing them directly on the bars as long as combined they are not more than 66 inches wide then they will fit directly on the bars. But what I recommend is to use the Yakima BigStack, # Y04041, on the trailer to hold the 2 Kayaks on their sides. This will ensure you have enough space for both kayaks. I have included a link to the installation details for the BigStack for you. I have also included a link to a video...

• Is a Tongue Extension Needed for a 17 Foot Boat on a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
  One 17 foot boat is the maximum length for the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer # Y08107. I would try it out without an extension to see if there is going to be any issues. You will probably want to use a 17 foot long stand-in for the boat just in case when you test it out. If you do need the extension it is # Y08109.
