The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack part # S65145 works great with most kayaks. The wide base allows for different shaped hulls with wide or narrow widths. It also can support kayaks up to 100 lbs. There are no restrictions on the kayaks length or width. The base does not need to cover the entire width of the hull so there will be no problems there. In regards to length, the further apart the bases are spaced, the more support you will have for longer kayaks so just keep that in mind when installing them onto a vehicle with adjustable crossbar spread but there is a maximum of 24" (center of front bar to center of rear bar). The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack will come with everything you need to tie it down as well.

Unfortunately, we don't have a list of every kayak the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack has been tested to work with but as stated earlier, this is not needed since the range is so broad.

Hello Joe, Thanks for writing in! Based on the measurements you provided, the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount #325-GH-12001 is not the right fit for your setup. Since your Tundra's receiver measures 18 inches from the ground and your TAB…

Both the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 and Malone MicroSportXT Trailer #MPG460XT will work for you to carry your two Hobie kayaks, but I recommend the MicroSport XT because it is the better value of the two trailers. The biggest difference…

Congrats on the new motorhome Edward! SnapPad doesn't have the 2026 Allego Red 38 KA in their system so I don't know what size your jack feet are. However, we have a few options that will work with the HWH leveling systems. What you'll…
