Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes

MPG462G2 In Use

This lightweight trailer with J-style cradles let you transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. Lightweight carriers secure your boat on its side, taking up less space and preventing boat-to-boat contact. With a 7-1/2' long tongue, this trailer offers exceptional clearance during tight turns. The extended tongue also makes it easier to back up the trailer and prevent binding than trailers with shorter tongues.


MAL98FR Folding j-style cradle

Folding, J-style kayak carriers with soft padding on the base and upright arms prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. The folding arms stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain.


Submersible LED Trailer Lights

MPG535 LED taillights

The DOT-approved taillights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about damaging the lights when loading and unloading your boat in water. Each taillight has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these LED lights last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.


Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring

CE48870 main harness to 4-way

The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the taillight harness into the main harness.


CE48870 4-way plug

Run the wires of the taillight harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the taillights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.


CE48870 4-way plug

When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.


Leaf Spring Suspension

MPG535 leaf spring suspension

This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs that support the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.


Quick and Easy Trailer Hookup

MPG535 trigger style coupler

Hooking this trailer to your vehicle is quick and easy. The trailer's coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball, and the included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. A rubber coated lift handle is mounted to the coupler to provide a solid grip for lifting or maneuvering the trailer. Finally, the skid plate on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler from touching the ground.

  • Is Malone Microsport Trailer a Good Trailer for Transporting Perception Carolina Kayaks
    The Malone Microsport Trailer for 4 kayaks part # MPG462G2 that you referenced would be a great option to carry your Carolina kayaks on your road trip. There would be a bit of overhang but that's to be expected and would not be an issue at all. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Carrying 4 Kayaks and Storage Trunk on Malone MicroSportXT Kayak Trailer
    Along with the MicroSportXT # MPG460XT you could simply add 4 of the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier # MPG117MD. You may want to consider a more economical option with the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Pro Kayak Carriers # MPG462G2 and add Storage Trunk for Malone MicroSport and XtraLight Trailers # MPG481. The Microsport with J-Pro Carriers comes with the ability to carry 4 kayaks, has a 375 lbs capacity, measures 164" long x 65" wide and has a coupler that attaches to a 2" hitch ball....

  • Higher Weight Capacity J Style Kayak Carrier Compatible with Malone MicroSport Trailer
    When it comes to carrying your 88-lbs kayak carrier on the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG462G2, it's not the trailer with that capacity but the Malone J-Pro Kayak Carrier # MPG117MD that has the 75-lbs capacity. You're not going to damage the trailer, but the carriers may not be able to handle the additional weight. With that said, you could swap out the Malone carrier that is included and use the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount # S510 and can carry up to 99-lbs....

  • Is the Yakima JayLow Compatible with the Malone MicroSport Trailer
    The Malone MicroSport Trailer, part # MPG460G, has crossbars that measure 1-1/4" by 1-1/4". The reason the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier, part # Y04073, will not stay in place is because they generally aren't meant for such small crossbars. They are compatible with square bars, but not bars that small. Instead, you'll need to use a different kayak carrier. I recommend the Malone J-Pro2, part # MPG117MD. It's not only confirmed to fit the MicroSport, but is even offered as a combination...

    Yes, that will not be a problem. I did want to let you know there are some limiting factors. Your Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 4 Kayaks - 800 lbs, part # MPG462G2, has an adjustable crossbar spread from 44" to 63".

    The difference between the: -Malone MegaSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks # MPG550-H and the, -Malone MicroSport Trailer for 4 Kayaks # MPG462G2 is that the Malone MegaSport has a higher trailer weight capacity than the MicroSport at 1,000-lbs, and it is a bit heavier at 867-lbs, versus the MicroSports 294-lbs.

  • Trailer Recommendation for Transporting Kayaks
    We do offer trailers that have kayak racks installed on them to make transporting kayaks easy. For a trailer with J-style carriers designed for carrying up to 4 kayaks we have the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Pro Kayak Carriers # MPG462G2 or if you only need to carry 2 kayaks we have the 2 kayak version part # MPG461G2. These come with straps needed to secure the kayaks as well so you'd only need the trailers and you'd be ready to go.

  • Can I Carry 4 Kayaks on Malone MicroSport Trailer?
    I'll start off by saying that it isn't recommended that you add longer crossbars to the Malone MicroSport XT Trailer # MPG460XT because adding too much weight outside of the wheels will effect the stability of the trailer when cornering. With that being said, the crossbars that are included on the trailer will allow you to use your Thule Hull-A-Port XT TH848 spread out to acommodate the 4 kayaks you're wanting to carry without any issue. However, I believe I have a better solution that...

  • Locking Options for Malone MicroSport MPG462G2 Trailer for 4 Kayaks
    The trailer doesn't include locks, which is typical, as trailers don't usually include them. The good news is that there are tons of locking options available, and usually using more than one locking option at a time will deter all but the most determined thief. The Malone MicroSport # MPG462G2 trailer uses a typical 2 inch channel tongue coupler. At a minimum, I'd use a coupler latch lock like part # e98890. I even use these while towing, to prevent the latch from coming open or some...

    There is a version of the Malone trailers that comes with 2 kayaks and 2 bikes. It is # MPG461KB and it is the ideal solution for you. The other option is to carry the bikes in the bed of your 2017 Honda Ridgeline and keep the kayaks on the roof. You may have already seen these but a great solution is to carry the bikes in the bed of your 2017 Honda Ridgeline and keep the kayaks on the roof by using a tailgate pad such as # SR26461.

All of the roof racks that fit your 2010 GMC Yukon XL have a max weight rating of 165 lbs. Even without adding the weight of the actual kayaks carriers you will be well over this.

  • Best Malone Trailer For Making Hauling 4 Kayaks EASY!
    That's a great plan! I am happy to help and my first suggestion would be to just stick with the MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Kayak Carriers # MPG462G2 just because it can already hold 4 kayaks. Piecing these trailers together I have found to be a little more work with not the best possible result.

They can only be keyed alike upon initial purchase. If you buy one and need more they can't be matched up.

    The Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG462G2 has a bar spread of approximately 47-1/2 inches on center. There is some adjustability to make the bar spread slightly less, maybe and inch or so, but not much. A kayak would definitely have to be over 4 feet long to sit on the cradles.
