Question:

I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent Hatchback with a Yakima round rack that I currently use to transport my kayak, just curious if I add a trailer hitch to my car will this product work for me or is it just for trucks ect., Let me know please, thank you.

Expert Reply:

The only hitches available for a 2013 Hyundai Accent Hatchback are Class I, 1-1/4 inch receivers such as the Draw-Tite # 24884, while the Rhino Rack T-Load Assist Bar RRRTL001 is a Class III item and would be incompatible with any of the hitches that fit your Accent.

If you are interested in load assist, you have some options, and I recommend checking out the Inno Kayak Lifter # INA453 or for a load assist and carrier in one, the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style with Rollers # Y04083-04082.

I've added links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at.
