Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Volvo XC70 and 2018 Honda Civic for Thule Stacker
Question:
Hi. Im looking to carry 3 kayaks on top of our cars. We have a Volvo with front to back racks but no cross-racks. We also have a Honda Civic 2018 with no racks. Im trying to figure out what I would need to outfit both to carry 3 kayaks. Any help would be appreciated! Looks like the Thule Stacker is the way to go, but not sure about cross racks for the Volvo and if I even need racks on the Honda. Looks like the Thule Stacker has everything I need without having to have racks already?

The Thule Stacker # TH830 is a great kayak carrier to carry the 3 kayaks you have but you will need a roof rack installed on both vehicles first. For that I'd recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex Rack # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100 for the 2015 Volvo XC70 and then the similar Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 for the 2018 Honda Civic and you'd be set. There isn't a single rack you could go with that would fit both vehicles which is why you'd need a totally different rack for both vehicles.
