Load Assist To Help Load Canoe On a 2014 Subaru Forester

Question

Question:

Hello, Ive got the factory roof rack with OEM flush bars and am looking to use this product to load my 14foot canoe by myself. The price point is fair and I like that the product is easy in and off. Will the multiple attachments work for loading a canoe onto my 2014 Forester?

I do have an option for you but the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist will not work with factory crossbars because there is no overhand which is needed. Instead, I recommend the Malone Channel Loader Kayak Load Assist part # MAL48FR which should allow you to load your canoe by yourself.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

I have a solution for you. Here at Etrailer, we strongly discourage using wheel-mounted bike racks like the Kuat NV 2.0 #NV22B for bikes with fenders. Mounting wheels with fenders can cause the fenders to crack or become damaged, especially with the…

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…

The RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack you'd looked at, part #RKY10004 is a great bike rack, but it wouldn't work well with bikes that have fenders like your Aventon Aventure Fat tire ebikes. The front fender would prevent the bike retaining hook…
