Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Fits With Kayak Carrier on 2016 Chrysler Town and Country

Question:

I am looking for a cargo carrier for my 2016 Town and Country that would fit side by side with my J-hook carrier for my kayak. Do you have a product that would work like that? Thanks.

I have two options that would work pretty well for you.

If you have 23 inches of side-to-side space available on your roof rack with the kayak loaded (which you most likely do), the Yakima 58 x 23 inch # Y07014 SkinnyWarrior would be a good choice. I've linked you to a product demonstration video showing the SkinnyWarrior cargo basket installed with a J-style kayak carrier on a roof rack. Even on a smaller vehicle like what's shown in the video, everything fits together really nicely.

Another alternative would be a larger 44 x 40 inch basket that provides crossbars so you could install the basket on the roof rack, and then install the kayak carrier on the basket's crossbars. The kayak would eat up quite a bit of the storage space of the basket, but depending on how much gear you're needing to carry, this might also be a good choice for you. I've also linked a demonstration video for this option.
