Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Toyota RAV4 with Factory Roof Rack
Question:
Recommended Kayak Carrier for a RAV4 with factory rack?
asked by: JohnB
Expert Reply:
When it comes to a kayak carrier, I personally like the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs, # RR571. This carrier allows one person to easily load a kayak from the rear of the vehicle.
If at some point you plan on carrying more than just one kayak on your roof, I would recommend going with Yakima's JayLow Kayak Carrier, # Y04073. This carrier has grooved cradles with integrated, side-loading ramps that hold the kayak to sit on it's side to free up space on your roof for additional gear.
You may also want to take a look at the other kayak carriers that we have available. I have included a link to those that are compatible with the factory crossbars on your Toyota RAV4.
