Roof racks mean lifting overhead, and most boats won't fit in your truck bed. After a day on the water, you're running on fumes and lifting again is too much. This trailer keeps the height low, so you can slide your boats on and head home.
The Yakima LowRider kayak trailer has adjustable crossbars that make it easy to set the trailer up with your favorite kayak carriers. Popular options like the BigCatch, SweetRoll, and JayLow (Y04091, Y04074, and Y04073 - each sold separately) all mount like they would on a roof rack. Just slide the bars where you need them and attach the carriers. And if your setup changes down the line, you can move the bars to match whatever you're using next. But you're not limited to kayaks, the trailer works great with canoes, SUPs, and fishing gear, depending on how you set it up. The crossbars are compatible with both clamp-on and channel-mount carriers, so you can use whatever works best for you.
Loading your boats 28 inches off the ground beats lifting overhead, especially when you're already worn out from a long day on the water. The trailer's low height lets you slide your kayak straight on without climbing, reaching, or shifting your stance to find leverage. Your tired arms and back will appreciate it.
If you're not into lifting at all, just back the trailer into the water and slide your boats on. The fully sealed LEDs are built for submersion, so they hold up no matter how many times they get dunked. They handle stop, turn, and tail signals so other drivers can see you better on the road and they stay visible at the ramp when you're backing down in low light. The wiring is protected with heat-shrink connectors and marine-grade insulation to block out shorts so the lights won't flicker.
You don't always have the space to back straight up to the coupler. The built-in handle lets you roll the trailer to your hitch instead of inching your vehicle into position. It's just as useful when you're storing the trailer in a garage or shifting it around a campsite. If you're keeping your boats loaded between trips, the handle makes it easy to roll the trailer wherever you want. Add the optional trailer jack (Y54XD - sold separately) and you can move it without lifting a thing.
The trailer is equipped with an axle and leaf spring suspension that absorbs vibration and takes the edge off rough roads. It travels smooth on the highway and won't bounce or drift behind your car. It also rolls over gravel, sand, and uneven ground better than a standard utility trailer. And unlike those trailers, there's nothing to modify.
