Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2007 Dodge Nitro to Carry 4 Kayak
Question:
Good morning, Hoping you can give me a recommendation on what the best setup would be to haul 4 kayaks on the roof of my vehicle. I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro. I currently do not have any crossbars or a kayak rack. Below are specs on the individual kayaks. SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 10’ Carry weight: 36 lbs. Maximum weight capacity: 275 lbs. Width: 29 Depth: 14 Beam: 28 Cockpit dimensions: 20.5W x 425.L I appreciate your time and expertise.

For your 2007 Dodge Nitro you are going to want a roof rack with longer crossbars like the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCL4, # RRQMVA05, # RRQMVA10, and # RRRCP55-BK which is a confirmed fit and has bars that are 49 inches long.
Then to carry up to 4 kayaks the Stacker part # TH830 would be a great choice as it allows you to carry all of the kayaks on end.
