Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander to Carry 3 Kayaks
Question:
I have a 2018 highlander with factory crossbars and already own 2 Yakima BowDowns. I am getting a 3rd Kayak. I am thinking replacing one of the bowdowns with a JayLow to get the 3rd Kayak in the middle. I know I am fine in terms of weight capacity, but I am unsure about the width. Any thoughts on this approach or alternatives?

Expert Reply:
Your best option is going to be a kayak carrier that can carry multiple kayaks on edge. For that we have the Thule Stacker part # TH830 which is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2018 Toyota Highlander and and can carry up to 4 kayaks on edge which will help you maximize your crossbar space.
I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.
