Question:
Ok, is it possible to haul 2 predator pdls on a roof rack of a 2019 ford explore platinum level vehicle? They weigh between 96 and 100 pounds w/ out the pedal drive. Also is there an easy loader that will handle them? Or do I just need to buy a truck? Thanks

I do have an option for you to haul your two Predator PDL Fishing Kayaks with a 2019 Ford Explorer but it would not be on the roof as we do not have a roof rack that is rated for the weight of the two kayaks nor do I think the vehicle would be capable of handling this weight on the roof either. The best option for you would be to haul them on a trailer designed specifically for kayaks, the Malone EcoLight Trailer with V-Style Kayak Carriers part # MAL43FR.
In order to use this trailer you will need a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76034, a wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118540, and a ball mount like the Curt Class III Ball Mount part # C45036.
The issues above would be the same for a truck so this will truly be your best option to haul the heavy fishing kayaks. I have attached review/install videos for you as well.
