Can 2 Kayaks be Mounted on the Roof of a 2011 Chevy Equinox with Factory Roof Rack
Updated 05/28/2013 | Published 05/23/2013
Question:
Can I fit two kayaks on a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox that has the factory roof rack installed? Or two kayaks using the Yakima roof rack system and not use the factory rack at all?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You should be able to get 2 kayaks on the factory roof rack on your 2011 Chevy Equinox. For a kayak carrier that fits the factory roof rack crossbars you can use the Stacker, # TH830. The carrier you referenced will not fit the factory crossbars.
Because the Stacker secures the kayaks when they are on their sides there should be plenty of room for both kayaks. Be sure to check the roof rack capacity prior to loading anything on the rack. I have included links to the instructions and a video for the Stacker for you.
