Can The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist And Support Bar Fit 4' x 8' Plywood Boards

Question:

I need to carry a canoe and 4x8 sheets of plywood. Is there 48 inches between the vertical supports to accommodate the plywood? If not can you recommend a similar product? I have a 2019 Subaru Outback limited. Thanks

The Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" Long # RTL002 comes with a 49" Vortex Aero crossbar which would be long enough but the load stops would eat too much into the room for your plywood. Because this rack uses a Vortex Aero bar you can easily just swap it out with a longer one like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA137B-2 to allow for enough room for the plywood and load stops. This rack has a weight capacity of 165lbs and fits into a 2" hitch receiver.
