Can I Carry Canoe And Skis On A 2016 Lexus ES 300H With A SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack
Question:
My Lexus has a roof that is not totally flat. It is a little rounded. I want to carry a fifty pound canoe, or a thule ski carrier at least at 70 mph across country. Will this work?

Expert Reply:
You should not have any issues driving with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long, part # 298-SX6000B, on your 2016 Lexus ES 300H, even if the roof is a tad rounded. If you do install the Monkey Bars roof rack on your vehicle, keep in mind you will have to adhere to a maximum speed of 70 mph. You will need to use a bow and stern tie-downs, part # TH855XT, for the canoe. I would also check the vacuum cups on the roof throughout your trip across the country and adjust them accordingly.
