Expert Answers about Dock Accessories

• Does Replacement Hitch Bolt # Y8780022 Have a Weight Capacity
• Bike rack hitch pins like the Replacement Hitch Bolt, Nut and Clip for Yakima Bike Racks and DryDock Load Assist # Y8780022 do not have individual weight capacities beyond what the weight capacity is for the accessory you use it with. Sounds like you are looking for a different threaded hitch pin accessory solution though and weren't planning to use this with a Yakima rack it was designed for. This was designed for: Big Horn 4 (Y02404) Dry Dock (Y02449, Y02449-3, or Y02589) KingPin 4...

• Best Bike Rack and SUP Carrier for a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
• We have a few options for bike racks and SUP racks for roof racks. Your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory racks will not have a lot of space to carry both. With that in mind, the best combination to make use of this space is the Thule ProRide XT, part # TH598004, with the Thule DockGrip, part # TH895. The ProRide XT is a frame mount bike rack that clamps onto your factory bars. It takes up minimal space (only 13" wide) on crossbars, leaving plenty of room for other accessories. It features...

• Best Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For A 2011 Audi A4 Sedan
• For a roof rack capable of hauling a kayak and kayak carrier, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK208 in addition to our Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier part # TH895. This will be the best option for your budget and as far as noise reduction goes as the aero bars will provide a much quieter ride in comparison to round/square cross bars. Another more economical option involves our Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack part # INB127,...

• Recommended Tonneau Cover with Rails for 2019 Ford Ranger For Kayak or SUP Transport
• For your 2019 Ford Ranger I recommend the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black # 311-KMFA31A62 for a 6 foot bed or # 311-KMFA30A61 for a 5 foot bed. The The T-tracks on the UltraGroove are designed to work with roof rack crossbars and other accessories. To add a set of crossbars to these tracks I recommend the Yakima 60 inch JetStream Bars # Y00425 along with the Landing Pad # Y00221 and Towers # Y53TR to attach them to the tracks. If...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Traverse
• The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2011 Chevy Traverse is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 because it has the best capacity, is a 2 inch size which is most popular size for hitch accessories, and it installs very easily. I attached a video that shows it installed on a similar 2011 Traverse for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring to allow your vehicle to control the taillights of the trailer you'd want the T-One kit part # 118450 because it installs without requiring any hardwiring....

• Assisted Kayak Carrier Options for 2013 Ford Focus ST with Thule Roof Rack
• At one point Curt did require the use of the stabilizer straps with their 1-1/4 inch hitches like the # C11431 that you referenced but they recently got rid of this requirement. So if you used this hitch with the Curt hitch adapter part # C45785 and the Rhino Rack T-Load part # RTL002 you would not need to use the strap. You should note that this hitch is Class I and the hitch adapter you mentioned is for Class II only so you'd instead need the adapter part # HTAD which is compatible with...
