Compatibility Of Detail K2 Utility Trailer For Carrying Kayaks

Updated 05/25/2025 | Published 07/26/2017

Question:

Could the trailer be set up with kayak carriers on the two end bars? Or is there too much movement on those down panels. Plus how long is the tongue ?

The Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs # K2MMT5X7 is not designed to carry kayaks, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't attach the kayak carriers to the two end bars. The kayak when strapped in will further restrict movement, so that wouldn't be an issue. The tongue length from coupler to front gate is 44-7/8 inches. The tailgates have a weight capacity of 250 lbs for the front gate and 100 lbs for the rear gate, so your kayak and carrier will be well under that capacity.

I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # S512 for your kayak carrier. It will fold when not in use and is easy to remove.
