Since the cost of four of the Erickson Car Tie Down Kit # 08504-05 is close to that of the Bulldog 4-piece set, I would go for the Bulldog kit # BDW20230. For the couple of extra dollars you get not only 10-foot straps rather than 7-footers, but you also get the carry bag to keep everything in order. view full answer...
Between the Thule Portage # TH819 and the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 I would go with the Portage. It is going to be easier to use and secure since it has the ratcheting tie-downs that you referenced as the pulleys. That will make securing the bow/stern tie downs much easier.
Aside from that the two carriers are pretty similar, but the edge goes to the Thule because of the ratchets. view full answer...
ShockStrap Ratcheting Tie-Down Kit w/ Built-In Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M comes with strap latches on the ends, which you can see more of in the video I have linked. The similar version, # 297-9RSBB-M, does not have those strap latches.
The latches are to help keep tie-down hooks from detaching from their anchor points when there is slack in the line. view full answer...
The only difference between the ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-UTV and ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle Tie-Downs with Shock Absorbers # 297-7RSBB-M is the title, so people searching for either UTV or Motorcycle tie-downs can find them easier.
So these are the same set of four 1-1/2" wide x 7' long straps with rubber-coated S-hooks with a 1,000 lbs working load limit (per strap). I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the ShockStrap... view full answer...
That's exactly correct. Both G2 ratchet straps are identical with identical mounting hardware. The # IMF08893 includes a pair of straps for use on the boat's transom, and the # IMF14220 includes one strap for use at the bow.

Although both systems have a strap that measures 2 inches X 6 ft, they have completely different mounting styles and that is why the difference in the WLL(safe working load limit) exists. The WLL is 1/3 of the maximum break strength of the system.
As the attached photo shows, part # IMF18804, uses 4 bolts and a plate below the mounting surface it is attached to. The WLL is 1,167 lbs, and the breaking strength is 3,500 lbs for this tie-down.

The Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit, # EM09160, and the Pack'Em Wheel Tie-Down Kit, # PK-WTD, are fairly similar to one another when it comes to design. The Pack'Em kit is rated at 800lbs and Pack'Em recommends using a minimum of two straps per vehicle. The Erickson kit has a working load limit of 1,500lbs with two straps, or 750lbs per strap. The biggest difference is that the Pack'Em kit includes the mounting hardware. Both products have received great reviews and we have not had any... view full answer...
You are correct. The # BDW20351 comes with 4 padded axle strap covers for paint protection while the # BWD20350 does not. Otherwise these strap kits are identical. Since you are planning to use this 2019 Corvette Grand Sport I would definitely choose the # BDW20351 with the padded covers to keep your vehicle protected. view full answer...
The ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs w Shock Absorbers - 1-1/2" x 7' - 1,000 lbs - Qty 4 # 297-7RSBB-UTV and # 297-7RSBB-M are actually the exact same straps. Both of these kits include four straps, but a single strap can be purchased using # 297-7RSBB.
The only reason there is two different part numbers is to allow them to show up in two different sections of our website.
Since they are the exact same part you will just want to go with which ever is the most cost effective at the time.

The Thule Express Surf Strap, part # TH531, is specialized for use in securing a surf board on Thule or other roof rack crossbars and works best when used in conjunction with one of their crossbar pads, such as part # TH802 intended for round and square bars. The pads help stabilize and protect your surf board or other cargo from scratches.
The Thule 9-foot Load Straps, part # TH521, feature polypropylene straps and padded cam-action buckles but require you to thread the strap through... view full answer...
The main difference between the Swagman Contour Rooftop Kayak Carrier System part # S65148 and the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier System part # MPG114MD is that the Malone option will allow for the use of the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module part # MPG351XL which aids in loading. They are essentially the same carrier aside from this aspect. Therefore, if you need help with loading I would go with the Malone system but if not the Swagman system will work fine for you.
They will both... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at BoatBuckle and the BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF12065 you were looking at has a minimum length of around 8" and maximum length of 24" so it will work perfectly for the 13-3/4" measurement between the frame of your trailer and your transom hook.
I included a video of the # IMF12065 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
Between the three cargo tie-down anchors you referenced, parts # RR2K, # RR8K and # RR09, I would go with the # RR2K because it includes the reinforcing backing plate and because it offers you the choice of recessed or surface mounting. Since your cargo items just need to be secured inside the trailer, but not have their full weight held, these items should be fine.
I can offer you another option to consider, one that might better suit the trailer and cargo items, but that will be up to... view full answer...
I couldn't find too much information regarding the part numbers that you referenced besides that those storage containers have wheels, their storage capacity, and that they came with straps to secure the containers.
What sets the Storage Trunk for Malone Trailers # MPG481 apart from other storage trunks like it is that it is customized to fit directly in a Malone trailer's framework like part # MPG460G and it is made in the USA.
It also comes with a 5-year warranty, a 9 foot tie-down... view full answer...
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 do have very similar designs as they are both intended to carry a motorcycle up to 500lbs. The both will fit a 2" receiver and include a ramp for easier loading and unloading.
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 is the one I prefer as it has the outer tie down points, and the 40" diamond plate ramp. For me the longer, smooth ramp will make it easier to move the bike up and down the ramp. This carrier... view full answer...
If high winds during trailer storage time are a major concern then I would agree that the Camco Tire Covers # CAM45247, which have an elastic cord and adjustable strap, may be the better choice since you can snug them down. Their UV and water-resistant lining material pulls moisture away from your tires and wheels.
If you don't mind adding some bungees or other tie-downs for extra security against wind you might still prefer the USA-made heavy-duty flannel-backed black vinyl construction... view full answer...
Square-bar roof racks generally offer the advantages of being lower in cost and having the broadest compatibility with accessory items like kayak carriers. Aero bars are more costly but are indeed quieter. Thing is, by the time you add kayak and/or canoe carriers, and the boats themselves, you've got so much stuff on your roof that can make noise that the benefit of the quieter Aero bars may not be evident.
With that said, the cost of some Aero racks like the Rhino-Rack Vortex system,... view full answer...
The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629706 and Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black AeroSkin # TH6357B are both really nice cargo boxes that can be opened from either side. They both install very simply onto crossbars by using the included clamps with rotating knobs so that no tools are required. Both boxes also have integrated tie-downs points to secure any belongings inside the box.
That being said, the glossy paint on the Motion will... view full answer...
The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is not a fit for your 2017 Ford Escape. Instead, you could use the Yakima HangOut 3-Bike, Trunk Mounted with Adjustable Arms # Y02638.
