Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Channel Mount # RR581 will fit in the channels of the Thule Aero Bars. The AeroBlade has been discontinued and replaced with the WingBar # TH711400 or # TH711420, but the channels of both options will be compatible with the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier.

Answer 6

There are differences. The differences lie in the fitment and capacities of each hitch. The Curt 13494 which we sell as part #C67JR fits the 2020-2022 Subaru Outback and 2020-2021 Subaru Legacy models of the same model years. The hitch has a 3500 lb…

The rubber plugs that were removed to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C67JR were there to just keep water out. You remove them to install the hitch but since there are plates on the hitch that fit over those holes you don't have to worry…

In my opinion you are going in the right direction with a frame mounted receiver. The only advantage to a weld on application is that, if welded properly, the attachment point, weld, will be stronger than the hitch or trailer frame steel and one of…
