How to Carry Ocean Malibu Two XL Tandem Kayaks on a 2019 Toyota Sienna
Question:
I just bought two Ocean Malibu Two XL tandem kayaks 13'4" and 68 lbs and am trying to figure out how to transport them on a 2019 Toyota Sienna with a factory roof rack. Is it possible? If so, what parts should to buy?

It definitely is possible to carry your 2 Ocean Malibu Two XL tandem kayaks on top of your 2019 Toyota Sienna by using the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Roof Rack # MPG115MD, but trying to load 2 kayaks towards the middle of a minivan is a little difficult so I have an alternative plan for you.
I recommend ditching the OEM crossbars and installing the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 because it's wider and it has a higher 165 lb weight rating as opposed to the 150 lbs of your OEM rack. This then means you can use 2 of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Roof Rack # MPG107MD and load your kayaks from the back of your van using the Malone Channel Loader Kayak Load Assist # MAL48FR.
Loading kayaks from the back into saddle-type carriers will be much easier than trying to lift them up and to the middle from the side of your van.
