Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation Over Malone Telos
Question:
I purchased the kayak Rhino rack J-style model S512 from E-Trailer to carry my two kayaks on my 2500 Ram. They work great but since then I have had a few back problems and lifting the kayaks up to the top of my truck has become a problem. My question is can the Malone TelosXL load assist be connected to the Rhino J-kayak rack in anyway so lifting will not be a problem or will I have to purchase the entire Malone system?

Expert Reply:
The Telos part # MPG351XL that you referenced can only be used with the Malone Downloader carrier part # MPG114MD. Now that said if you are going to spend that type of money I'd much rather recommend you the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 as it works much better and is easier to use as well.
Check out the review video I attached for this for you to check out as well.

Doesn't the Thule Hullovator only work with Thule crossbars? I have factory installed Subaru ones.
