Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2018 Subaru with Factory Crossbars
Question:
I’m buying a 2018 Subaru with the factory crossbars. I’m hauling two 9.5 foot kayaks. What rack system do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For your two 9.5 foot kayaks on your factory roof rack crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding # S512. You can either get two sets or if you prefer, you can simply add the Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # RRS512X. This will transform that rack into a 2 kayak rack that will fit your factory crossbars.
You may also be interested int he Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist # RR-RUSL to make loading your kayaks easier.
If you are wanting the aftermarket crossbars for factory side rails, let me know what model of Subaru you have and I'd be happy to assist with that as well.
