Question:

Looking for an assistive kayak loader. I have mobility issues and want to take my kids out on kayaks I’ve bought them. I have 2 kayaks. I have a 2020 Subaru Ascent. Please guide me. Thank you.

Hi Jennifer; since load assist is your number one concern I recommend the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist # TH898. This is the easiest system to use and makes loading your kayaks a simple task. With two kayaks you will need a roof rack capable of accommodating two carriers like the # MPG203. This roof rack has 65" crossbars and the necessary overhang to use the Hullavator.

Hi Jennifer, how did things go with the Hullavator Pro and the Malone roof rack on your Ascent? Were you able to get both kayaks loaded comfortably? Your experience could make it easier for others looking for a similar setup.
