Best Way to Carry Two Kayaks on the Roof of a 2016 Ford Escape
Question:
I have a 2016 ford escape with factory luggage rails and cross bars. I have two 10.4ft. long and 31-3/4in wide. Will I be able to mount 2 MPG107MD carriers to haul both of my kayaks???

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but it is very unlikely that you would be able to use two of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers part # MPG107MD side by side on the roof of your 2016 Ford Escape. Instead, I recommend using an upright carrier like the Malone Stax Pro Kayak Carrier part # MPG115MD. This carrier or a similar design will give you the best chance of fitting two kayaks on the roof of your Escape in addition to being much more cost effective. They will however be a little more difficult to load which you will want to make note of.
The Malone Stax comes with everything you need to secure your kayaks to the roof of your vehicle. The carrier itself only weighs 8.5 lbs so it will also be very easy to install. It comes with a lifetime warranty. I have attached a review video for you as well.
