Best Value Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier With Load Assist For 2019 Ford Explorer
Question:
Is there a roof rack option for 2019 Ford Explorer? My son wants me to go kayaking with him sometimes I want an option that works but doesn't break the bank too much.Also need to carry and load a dagger zydeco 9.0 with ease from the side of the ford because i am not getting any younger.

I have the perfect roof rack option with the best value for the 2019 Ford Explorer. I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack part # RRVA137B-2 for the bars, part # RRRCH4 for the legs, and part # RRRCP45-BK for the fit kit. The Rhino Rack roof racks are cost effective without compromising on quality. The aerodynamic bars of this particular setup will cut down on wind noise and they also look great. The weight capacity of the bars is 165 lbs which is more than most brands we carry. They will also carry your 36 Lb Dagger Zydeco without any issues. I have attached a video for your reference.
To carry your kayak, I recommend the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Side Loading part # MPG114MD-351XL because it comes with 2 j-style cradles and load assist bars that will allow you to basically walk the kayak up the side of your vehicle and onto the roof with ease. I have attached a video of how the load assist works and I think you will be very happy with the convenience of it. The kit also comes with tie down straps for the kayak so you will not have to purchase those separately.
