Recommendation to Carry 2 Kayaks with 2017 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Crossbars
Question:
Hello... I own a 2017 Toyota 4Runner with factory crossbars. One kayak is 11.8 ft long 32in wide and weighs 85lbs. Second kayak is 10 ft long 31 in wide and weighs 50lbs. Can you recommend the best and most convenient kayak carriers for use on the factory crossbars? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Rear loading kayak carriers are the best option for heavier kayaks like what you have so for a carrier solution that fits the factory crossbars of your 2017 Toyota 4Runner we have the Thule Dockglide part # TH896 that would work great for especially your 85 lbs kayak. A J-style like the JayLow would be a great option for the lighter kayak if you wanted to go that route. Or you could use two of the Dockglides. Both fit your crossbars.
