Will 2 of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Roof Rack Fit on a 2023 Toyota 4Runner?

Question:

Can I carry 2 Perception Kayaks on my 2023 4 Runner Limited using 2 Malone Seawing mounts attached to my aftermarket crossbars that sits atop the Toyota rails?

Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out!

The Malone SeaWing Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG107MD only measure 27-1/2" wide so you can definitely fit 2 of them on top of your 2023 Toyota 4Runner. According to my research, your Perception kayaks should only be 28" wide so you should be good to go, but it would be a good decision to set your kayaks side by side and measure where the middle of your kayaks sit and compare that to the spacing on your 4Runner crossbars.

The SeaWing mounts to the crossbars in the middle, so if your kayaks can sit side-by-side and the middle-to-middle measurement you take can fit between your crossbars then you'll be good to go!

Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey Jim, did you have a chance to measure your kayaks and see if they fit on the crossbars with the SeaWing mounts? I'm asking because your experience could help others with similar setups.

@JonG The Seawing was not going to work. I bought the Malone Foldaway-5™ Multi-Rack. It will support a single kayak on its belly or 2 kayaks standing on their side.
