How to Carry Three Kayaks on a 2014 Dodge Dart

Question:

Hi, Im looking for opinions on if it would be feasible to carry 3 kayaks 2x 10foot and 1x 12 on the roof of a 2012 Chrysler Town and County with a factory roof rack. If so, suggestions on items needed to do so. Thanks!

You will be able to carry 3 kayaks on your 2014 Dodge Dart by carrying them on their side using a J-Style Carrier. I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Kayak Carrier # TH834 to carry your kayaks. These will be able to hold all three of your kayaks and can carry up to 75 lbs. per pair. The Hull-A-Port Carriers are compatible with your factory roof rack.

The Thule Kayak Carriers utilize quick on and off hardware that makes it easy to install and remove. Also, The wide cradle mouths make it easy for one person to load and unload a kayak.

However, make sure to check the weight limit of your roof rack along with the weight limit of your vehicle to make sure you do not carry more than the maximum weight capacity of either. You can check the weight capacity for both your roof rack and your 2014 Dodge Dart in your owner's manual or contact your Dodge Dealership.
