- What is Difference Between Malone MicroSport and Megasport Trailers?
- The difference between the:
-Malone MegaSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks # MPG550-H and the,
-Malone MicroSport Trailer for 4 Kayaks # MPG462G2 is that the Malone MegaSport has a higher trailer weight capacity than the MicroSport at 1,000-lbs, and it is a bit heavier at 867-lbs, versus the MicroSports 294-lbs.
The MicroSport trailer sounds like it'll work better for you since you're wanting to transport 4 kayaks.
Additionally, either trailer will work great for a 1,000 mile...
view full answer... - Comparing Yakima Rack and Roll vs Malone Microsport XT for Carrying Two Kayaks
- Both the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 and Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT will work for you to carry your two Hobie kayaks, but I recommend the MicroSport XT because it is the better value of the two trailers.
The biggest difference between the two trailers is that the Rack and Roll has independent suspension, while the MicroSportXT has a leaf spring suspension. This is going to give the Rack and Roll a bit of a better ride, but that alone doesn't make up for the gap in...

- The primary differences between the Curt # C13280 and # C13145 are cosmetic.
The C13280 would be mainly concealed behind the rear bumper, while the C13145 would be visible. The hitches have identical capacities, so either would work great from a functional standpoint. Because there's not an important difference between the two, I'd personally choose the C13280 because of its lower cost.
It just so happens we offer a small trailer designed for carrying kayaks and other items that would...

- I wouldn't say that you're missing anything; the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 are a solid, low cost roof rack option that looks great. When you look at them compared to something like the Thule Roof Rack with Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH711220 and # TH710401 the differences are extremely subtle and may not matter to a lot of consumers. Curt is primarily a company known for making trailer hitches and towing products, so roof racks aren't exactly their specialty. When it comes...
view full answer... - Differences between the MAL25FR and the MPG46B2
- The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR and Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461B2 are very similar as they are both built on the same platform. This allows them to both carry the same weight and size kayaks.
The # MPG461B2 has a 30" height to the crossbar. The extra height allows for the spare tire to be moved back farther on the trailer to reduce tongue weight. You can also store additional gear below the crossbars such as your paddles and fishing poles.
You can use the Fishing...
view full answer... - Differences Between Trailer Hitch Options for 2014 Chevy Volt
- The 100 lb figure you mention for the Curt # C11221 is actually the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, which is the maximum amount of downward force that could safely be applied to the trailer ball.
Typically the tongue weight of a given trailer is between 10 and 15% of its fully loaded weight. Given that your trailer weighs a maximum of 400 lbs, the most tongue weight you'd likely see is 60 lbs, which is well within the capacity of the Curt # C11221.

view full answer... - Difference Between Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
- Yes, the biggest difference between the Curt trailer hitch # C13382 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame hitch # 76209 is that cross-tube on the Curt hitch is hidden behind the bumper, whereas on the Draw-Tite it's fully visible as shown in the comparison photos on a 2019 Crosstrek I've attached. For this reason, I recommend the # C13382.
The installation on both hitches is pretty straight forward, requiring only to lower the muffler, insert the hardware in the frame and raise the hitch in place...

- When it comes to a battle of build quality and features between the Kuat Sherpa, # SH22G, and the Saris Freedom SuperClamp 2 Bike Rack EX2, # SA4025F, the winner in my opinion is Kuat.
Although the Saris Freedom SuperClamp 2 Bike Rack EX, # SA4025F, is a great bike bike, the Kuat Sherpa, # S101, just seems to be built to higher quality standards. Since you also mention that you will be removing the rack after each trip, the tool free installation would be a plus.
In order to make sure...

- The only difference between the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR1200S04 and part # ASR1200S02 is that the former has brake flanges so you can install brakes if needed. I have attached options for each setup below.
ASR1200S04

- Dexter Trailer Brakes part # 23-47-48

view full answer... - Choosing Malone MegaSport or Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer for Hobie Tandem Island
- You will need the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 for your Hobie Tandem Island. The Yakima # Y08107 has the capability of handling the weight of the boat, and can be extended to handle the length with the # Y08109. What it doesn't have is the required crossbar spread.
The Hobie cradles require 67" spacing on center for installation. The Rack and Roll only has a 48" maximum crossbar spread so you won't be able to mount the cradles.
The Malone MegaSport has a crossbar spread of...

- There are three types of hitches available for your 2021 Subaru Forester. I'll run through them below:
• Traditional Fully Exposed Hitch like Curt # C13409. The fully exposed hitches are typically the easiest to
install and the least expensive option.
• Partially Concealed Hitch like Curt # C47HR. These would be more expensive as well as being more
difficult to install, as shown in the linked video. However, the only visible portion of the hitch would be the
receiver tube and...

- The Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24884 and the Curt Class I, part # C11250 share the same weight bearing capacity and installation procedure. The overall design is similar, but as you mentioned, the Curt uses round tubing for the crossbar of the hitch while the Draw-Tite uses square tubing. As far as the tubing goes, some folks find the round tube to be more visually attractive, but as far as strength and function goes, neither has an advantage.
Both companies are reputable and make...

- I would choose the Rebel # SS64VR over the Solo # SSR-312-54 for your 2022 Ram 2500 for two reasons. The first is the capacity. Although there isn't much of a difference between the two, based on what you will be towing and hauling the additional support will be beneficial.
The second reason is the ride quality. You previously mentioned your wife's back and the importance of the unloaded ride quality. It is primarily for that reason that I would say the Rebel is the best choice for you....
