The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack w/ 2 Heavy-Duty Crossbars item # RLZ01-DC is confirmed to fit your 2013 Ford Transit Connect. For a compatible kayak carrier you will want the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier item # S512-S512X. The folding design of the Rhino-Rack 2 will allow you to carry up to 2 kayaks on their sides safely and securely. The carrier also comes with 4 specially designed tie-down straps with padded hooks that will secure your Kayak's to your roof-rack crossbars. In addition, the carrier comes with 4 bow and stern tie-downs.

To attach the Rhino-Rack 2 to your heavy-duty crossbars, you will need the Crossbar Adapters for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carriers item # KC-FK8.
