Question:

Hello, I would like to know if you folks have any kayak racks that would fit a 2019 Honda Acura RDX. Currently the RDX has two raised Honda rails that are 48 apart, outside measurements. I want to haul two kayaks with this vehicle. One kayak is 12 long and 23 wide. The other kayak is 13 long and 24 wide. Thank you!

Thank you for all of the details!

The roof rack I recommend installing on the raised rails of your 2019 Acura RDX is the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 which has 58" long crossbars. These are simple to install and give you more than enough real estate for both of your kayaks.

Then for a kayak carrier I recommend checking out the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 and getting one for each kayak. This way you can move the carriers further out to either side and you aren't leaning in trying to load both of them towards the middle like you would on a dual-carrier. Our carrier comes with all of the tie-downs you need to get you on the road!

Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
