Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Traverse
Question:
Some what confused. I have a 2011 traverse and I am looking for a rack for it for a canoe. Do I need to buy a rack and a fit kit? If so how much for both, complete. Thanks.

You will need a roof rack setup on the roof of your 2011 Chevy Traverse to carry a canoe up there. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of bar setup part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and fit kit part # DK297 would be what you need.
The Thule Portage part # TH819 would then be a great option for mounting the canoe on the roof upside down. I attached a review video as well.
