Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 GMC Acadia for Paddleboard and Kayak Carrier
Question:
I want to load 2 paddle boards and 1 kayak on a 2016 GMC Acadia. Factory rooftop bars run front to back. I was looking at the Malone 58” crossbars. Is this wide enough to mount paddle boards on the side with the type of rack that folds down and then a j rack for the kayak?

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 GMC Acadia with factory rails that run front to back the Malone 58 inch crossbar roof rack part # MPG202 is a confirmed fit. You'd then want a paddleboard carrier that can carry 2 boards at a time on top of each other like the Thule Sup Taxi part # TH810001 and then a J-style kayak carrier like the Rhino Rack # S510.
