Can I Fit 2 Malone DownLoaders onto My 2017 Honda Pilot with OEM Crossbars?
Question:
Hi, can I two Malone Downloader Kayak Carriers on a 2017 Honda Pilot, with OEM roof rack and cross bars installed? I was looking to get a system that would support a load assist from the side, and and the Malone carrier and loader seem like a great solution. Can you confirm for my vehicle?

As far as the Malone Downloader with Telos XL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL mounting on your OEM roof rack, we do not have the exact height and width of your crossbars. However, there is a definite way you can confirm if the Downloader will clamp onto your bars. As long as you crossbars do not exceed 1" tall x 3" wide, the Downloader can clamp onto your crossbars. I recommend measuring your crossbars to make sure they fall within these parameters. As far as crossbar spread, you have a compatible spread between the crossbars to use the Downloader.
As far as using the # MPG114MD-351XL with an additional # MPG114MD, you will be able to carry these side-by-side as long as you have at least 41 inches of usable crossbar length. In order to know for sure, I recommend measuring the length of your crossbars.
