Most Secure Way to Transport Large Kayak on 2016 Toyota 4Runner With Malone Roof Rack  

Question:

Hi. We are looking for a secure way to transport a large double kayak on top of a Toyota 4Runner 2016 with Malone aerodynamic roof rack crossbars. We have previously tried J-holders for it and did not feel they were secure enough for such a large and heavy kayak so looking for a lay-flat solution. Thanks

Expert Reply:

What you are looking for to secure your large kayak on your 2016 Toyota 4Runner is called a saddle-style kayak carrier. That type of carrier is the most secure way to secure a larger kayak because the kayak remains on its hull and not turned over, and we do have a great option.

The Malone roof racks that fit your 2016 Toyota 4Runner with raised rails are the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 (58" crossbars) and # MPG215 (50" crossbars) so I assume one of these racks are what you have on your 4Runner. The saddle-style kayak carrier that will be a perfect option with this rack is the Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style # MPG110MD.

This carrier is going to secure your kayak at its hull and comes with heavy-duty tie-down straps as well, so it has a 90 lb capacity.
