Does Rack Have to be Used With Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist

Question:

Could I use the Rhino Rack T Load Hitch Load assist on my Edge utilizing my 2 inch hitch and Rubber foam Pads forward with straps thru the window for tie downs. I dont want to put rails on the vehicle and Im carrying a 12 ft Yak @ 74 pounds for a very short trip to launch. Thanks

If you don't want to, it is not a necessity to add a roof rack to your 2014 Ford Edge in order to use the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002.

If you'd like to use foam blocks you can absolutely do so, with the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style # MPG152.

This will give you the exact set up you are looking for to haul your kayak.
