Carry larger and longer cargo on your vehicle's existing roof rack by installing the Rhino-Rack T-Load in your 2-inch trailer hitch. This adjustable-height crossbar system provides the lateral support you need to safely carry long gear such as a ladder or kayak on your roof rack.
The T-Load includes a 49-inch-long, Vortex Aero crossbar that sits parallel to your roof-rack crossbars. The aluminum crossbar is mounted on an anti-swivel plate to ensure stability. And it has a built-in channel for mounting Rhino-Rack accessories such as ratcheting tie-downs and load supports. The crossbar also has a rubber insert in the channel that helps to cushion your load and that provides slip resistance during transport. The insert can be cut to accommodate channel-mounted accessories. An anti-swivel plate provides a stable mounting point for your crossbar. The plate is designed to accommodate a Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero (included) or Heavy-Duty (sold separately) crossbar, so you can swap out the bar depending on the accessories you wish to use with the system.
The height of the T-Load's upright bar is adjustable to match the height of your roof-rack crossbars. This enables you to use the T-Load on multiple vehicles. To adjust the height, simply loosen a nut and bolt, slide the bar up or down, and retighten the bolt. You also have the option to secure the T-Load in place at a fixed height. To mount the T-Load in a fixed position, drill a hole in the bar at the desired height and use the included wire lock linchpin to hold it in place. This option is great for those who will frequently be using the T-Load on the same vehicle - or for those who are always reinstalling the carrier and don't want to line up the height and use a wrench every time. Once your hole is drilled, the system requires no further adjustment, and drilling the hole enables you to simply pull the pin and lower the crossbar for convenient storage when not in use.
The upright bar of the T-Load tilts forward and away from your vehicle for easier loading and better access to the rear cargo area. The bar has a bracket in the base that lets you choose between two angles of tilt.
A rubber mat is provided to serve as a no-slip base for leaning a kayak or canoe onto the crossbar from the ground. To load, place the bow of your watercraft on the mat, lay the other end on the T-Load crossbar, and push the kayak or canoe up and onto your roof rack.
This system includes a pair of load supports that you install by clamping them around the crossbar. The load supports can be positioned anywhere along the bar to accommodate cargo of different widths. Each load support has an angled side and a straight side. For an item with a curved shape - such as a kayak - position the load stops with the angled sides facing each other on the crossbar. For straight-edge items - such as ladders or lumber - position the load stops with the flat sides facing each other.
The T-Load comes with a 51-inch-long nylon strap to use when you are carrying your canoe or kayak hull-side down. The strap - or sling - has buckles that you insert into cutouts on the load stops to anchor the strap in place. When pulled tight, the strap helps to balance the canoe or kayak during transport. Use tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs (sold separately) to properly anchor your kayak to your roof when using the T-Load.

Does the job - I load my 60 lb Hobie Passport kayak onto my Jeep Wrangler by myself (I'm 5'4"). Note with the Jeep, I also needed a hitch extender in order to clear my spare tire enough for install. Even with the extender I can barely open the rear doir but not the window.

After much searching and reading, we picked up this Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar to help us transport our Tandem Recumbent Trike (TerraTrike Tandem Pro), and it has been nothing short of EXCELLENT.
We paired this with our normal Thule roof rack, which just didn't have the length we needed for our tandem. With the help of an additional accessory kit for the Rhino Rack (to make sure the tandem doesn't travel left to right on the roof), we have a REALLY solid rack that allows us to take the tandem anywhere we want to go with it.
So far, our longest drive with it has been 3.5 hours, each way. I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere, though.
The setup and instructions on the Rhino-Rack could've been a LITTLE more robust, but once we got everything dialed in (and drilled the hole we needed), it now just takes about 5 minutes to go from "in the garage" to "on the road."
This rack is well-built, and seems very solid.
etrailer has been great for all our rack needs. Highly recommend the rack, and this site.

Bought this product to help load the Old Town Malibu Tandem PDL Kayak. Works great, easy to assemble and easily attaches to the hitch. Can store it in the back of my Honda CRV which is also great. I can now roof top my kayak solo and not have to worry about it falling off when loading and unloading. Highly recommend this product.

Good product, with some caveats. The concept is good and it’s effective once you learn to control the load going up and down. I’m loading a 72lb Nucanoe U10 with mine, roof-topping it onto a 2026 Honda Passport with OEM crossbars.
The suspension strap running across the aero bar’s load stops works well for loading boats hull-down, but is a PITA if you want to load the boat hull-up. It catches and snags on every little feature of the gunnels; notches, gear track, handles, etc. I finally removed the strap altogether and it works much better for hull-up loading. There’s a learning curve to both raising and lowering the boat. Mostly it’s about understanding where and when the T-bar begins to pivot towards and away from the car. As you are loading the boat, I find it easier to keep the bow well elevated. This “pushes” the T-bar forward as you move towards the vehicle. Same for taking it down; an angled bow postpones the T-Bar’s “drop” as you move away from the vehicle. The good news in both cases is that 90% of the boat’s weight is supported as you make these moves - you’re merely guiding/aligning the boat along the way. The ground pad for the stern of the boat is a quite small target. Then again, it stores easily.
I found assembly to be easy, with the exception of height adjustment. The sliding T-bar is so snug in the bottom section I had to use a hammer to adjust its height. Everything else went together very easily. The build is very robust and simple. I feel like it will outlast the boat.

Product shopped immediately, arrived as scheduled.
Had installed and kayak on top of car within two hours of opening box. Very simple. I am 67, still go to gym a lot, but my joints ache and back is feeling the years, so this makes loading of my 85 lb kayak now very easy. Worked smooth first time, though practicing the balance while unloading and rocking the bar back is important.
I previously used a Yakima Bar Extender, (pic attached) which was fine for my previous lighter kayak. But I did scratch the side of my car many times with the Yakima system when unloading, and nearly dropped the heavier yak several times because the Yakima bar sagged under the extra weight of the newer yak. I just got a new Subaru and dearly wanted to avoid any scratches. This Rhino Rack seems perfect option, kayak is always under control, and is very secure.

1 year update - I use this rack a lot for weekend trips. 2 minutes only to put on the car or take off. Heavy duty construction. I also use for a fragile 18 ft rowing shell and like the third point of support. I live on coast with salt air, so I occasionally rinse. Also oil the one mounting bolt threads so they stay clean and do not rust. Highly recommend this rack !

Using this on a 2021 Honda Passport. The rack works as shown on videos although it will take some getting used to using it with a Hobie Outback Kayak. Assembly was pretty easy; to me, the video was much better than the instructions. A lock does come with it, but had differing opinions whether it did or didn’t so I ordered a lock that I’ll be returning.
The hitch pin for this uses a threaded bolt and the assembly does rattle a bit when installed.

Rack works perfectly on my 2013 JK with 2 receiver. When installed, the racks vertical posttube rack butts up on stock spare tire. So if you have a larger spare mounted on tailgate, may be an issue. On the front, my light bar is used with Rhino Rack for kayak. Works great for me since I use up/down soft top a lot. Very clean install and setup, and well built.

This has been a lifesaver for getting my hobie outback up on top of my Subaru Forester by myself. I first saw this on youtube and it worked exactly like in the videos. You can tighten or loosed screws to adjust the height and also how much force it takes to push the bar from the leaning position, and into the upright position. You can also adjust it to lean a bit more or a bit less which is handy if you have a taller or shorter vehicle. I have it leaning more as it lets me open my trunk on my 2024 forester without having to take it off.

Bought this for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee to load a Hobie Passport and it works great. I was hesitant about carrying the kayak with just the two cross bars. This third wing helps to load and secure the kayak.
Loading - I spread the goal posts wide enough for the beam of the boat and lift one end onto it. When lifting the other end and sliding onto the roof rack, the goal posts keep the boat from sliding laterally too much.
Securing - I narrow the goal posts to fit the boat and secure at three points: the two roof rack cross bars and the Rhino Rack. The front and back are narrow enough to prevent the boat from sliding forward or backwards so no bow or stern lines needed.
It is a bit pricey, a bit heavy, and awkward to store, but it gives me a lot of peace of mind that the kayak isn't going anywhere while I'm on the freeway. Plus it was one of the few that was adjustable enough to get to the same height as the roof rack cross bars.

I purchased the T Load support bar system for my 2013 Ford F-150 FX4. My kayak is a Seda Glider, weighing 42 Lbs and 19ft long. I’m so glad I opted for the T Loader, as my long kayak would be next to impossible to load onto the cab roof racks without the T Loader. With the T Loader, I can completely load my
kayak while standing behind the truck with no stress or strain. I’m 68 years old and about 6’ tall. I honestly don’t think I could load my long kayak without the T Loader!
My complete Rhino Rack system was not cheap, but it is very strong and stable on the road at 70MPH. This system enables me to take my kayak anywhere I want to go, safely and without hassle.

I bought this load assist bar for my hobie pro angler 14 ft . This was the first time using both of them . It went well they are some down falls with it but I would still highly recommend it . My vehicle is a 02 ford excursion. The t bar loader is well built but my first problem is that the hitch pin is a little short but still works and it is the wrong diameter for the size of the hole it should be a 5/8 pin size instead of 1/2 inch diameter. The second thing is, and it might be because of my vehicle, the height it extends to is a little short for my rig. It still does the job just fine but there is no rear end support witch is not a big deal for me . One thing you have to be carful of is when you are unloading your kayak the t-bar does fall towards you . I do use a small step ladder after I have the kayak on the roof to adjust it. Without the t-loader it would be nearly impossible to do it .

The unit is much more stable than expected. No rocking or swaying even with a side wind. The canoe is easy to load, I come in from the drivers side, set one end of the canoe in between the uprights and then move over to the truck and set the other end on the bar across the extended cab and then just lift it over. Of course the 5th wheel is not in this picture but that is why we load over the front.

Currently using this Rhino-Rack T-Load to load a tandem touring kayak on top of a 2023 Toyota 4 Runner. The kayak is very heavy and awkward and extremely difficult to do even with a hatch mounted ladder. This thing will save you from damaging your vehicle. Kayak went straight from the ground to the rack without touching the vehicle.

- Diameter of Crossbar of LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender, Item # Y01149The diameter of the crossbar on the LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender, Item # Y01149 is 2 inches. This is more designed for carrying kayaks like how I attached a picture of and not with a roof rack carrier. For what you are looking for the Rhino-Rack T-Load part # RTL002 would be a better option.

- Recommendation to Transport Kayaks While Towing 5th Wheel TrailerBecause of the overhang from a 5th wheel trailer the best solution for transporting a couple of kayaks while towing is with the combination of a single bar rack for the cab and a front-mounted load extender that installs into a front-mount hitch.

In addition to this carrier I recommend using a roof rack to secure your kayak to the roof of your truck instead of the foam blocks.

If you split the weight between the loader and the roof rack the actual load on the roof rack crossbar and loader crossbar is going be less than the overall weight of the item being loaded but there's a lot more math involved in figuring...
view full answer... - Solution for Hitch Mounted Canoe Carrier While Towing TrailerI recommend taking a look at the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. This is a unique ball mount that features a standard ball mount platform on the bottom and a 2 inch receiver at the top. Because of its design, this multi-purpose adapter will only reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent when the receiver portion is used by itself. Other similar adapters will reduce the hitch capacity regardless of how you use it. This unit features a 7,500 pound towing weight capacity...

This will bolt or weld onto your frame and give you 3,500 lbs towing capacity and up to 350 lb tongue weight. Due to the height of your trailer, there really isn't a safe way to carry your canoe or kayak other than to add a trailer. For this application, I recommend the adjustable ball mount # C45900 along with a hitch lock like # 63232. Then use a trailer like...

The Yakima DeckHand Kayak Carrier part # Y04083-2 will be a great option for this as it's designed for larger, heavier kayaks up to 80 lbs. It will however require a 24" crossbar spread. It works with most aftermarket and factory crossbars. If you don't already have a roof rack, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 is a great option for models with raised side rails.

view full answer... - Hitch for 2021 Honda Passport for Using Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Load AssistYes, the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Load Assist part # RTL002 can be used on a 2021 Honda Passport. You'd just need to have a 2 inch hitch installed on the vehicle as well like with the Curt part # C13421 which is a confirmed fit. I really like this hitch because it has an easier install, has great towing capacities, and is mostly hidden since only hitch opening hangs below rear bumper.
