Question:

I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue with factory installed side bars. What would be my best system for transporting three kayaks?

asked by: Jennifer C

Expert Reply:

To carry three kayaks on your 2016 Nissan Rogue with raised side rails, you'll need a roof rack and a kayak carrier capable of hauling three kayaks at once. We do have exactly what you need, and let's start with the roof rack, which is made up of just a couple parts.

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220

- Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401

The Thule rack is the best for your Rogue for a few different reasons; it is super quiet relative to other racks which can generate wind noise, it is really easy to use, and exceptionally durable (the bars and feet come with lifetime warranties). Then to carry three kayaks, what you will need is a kayak carrier from Rhino-Rack:

- Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # RRS520

This is a post-style carrier that can actually carry up to four kayaks at once, but will work great with your three kayaks. It comes with tie-downs for two kayaks, so you will also need Rhino-Rack Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # RRRTD45P and # RRRTD55P.
