Review of Malone Watersport Carriers - Canoe - Kayak - SUP - MAL38FR Video

We do have an adapter that will allow you to attach a 2" cargo carrier to the 1-1/4" hitch on your 2016 Nissan Altima. I recommend the adapter #e43YR. This is 6-1/2" long and will go in to your 1-1/4" hitch and give you a 2"…

The Over Under kit part #K71-384-00 that you referenced is the correct kit you'd need. This is designed to fit 2-3/8 inch diameter trailer axles and allows moving trailer leaf springs to the top of axle or vice versa. This will give a lift right…

Per Curt warranty requirements, all non-trailer loads, which will include a platform bike rack, must be supported by stabilizing straps. You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, part #18050. We offer a wide variety of platform bike racks…

The Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part #18050 is required to be used with all Curt Class I hitch receivers for all non-towing purposes. As you are using the hitch to secure a bike rack, you will need to use this strap to further support the load…

The concept of a hitch adapter like the Brophy #HTAD is a good idea in theory but the problem with using one of those with a 1-1/4" hitch, like part #C11265 or #24913 for your 2015 Toyota Corolla, is that it will reduce the weight capacity of…

Curt just recently decided to stop requiring the stabilizer strap with their hitches like the part #CU64FR that you referenced when carrying non-supported loads like bike racks. Also, this hitch didn't ever have that requirement since it can be…

Thanks so much for your purchase, and I can tell you that the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap #18050 is not a requirement for use with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13206. While Curt does recommend the use of the strap, it is not needed in…

Actually Curt no longer requires the use of the stabilizer straps like the #18050 with non-supported loads like bike racks with their hitches so it's not something you'd have to worry about!

The Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap #18050 is usually used on Class I or Class II hitches to help distribute the weight on them. Since your hitch #C13136 for your 2013 Ausi Q5 is a Class III hitch, then it does not need the stabilizing strap. If…

Curt recommends the stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks to help support the hitch when going over bumps to prevent some of the vertical shock from being transferred to the hitch. Curt does this as a precaution, it's not that…

I did some research on the weight capacity of your Leer XR100 topper and while I wasn't able to get an exact figure I can say it would pretty easily handle two 45 lb kayaks and the Malone Foldaway carrier part #MAL38FR would work really well to…

The over under kit part #K71-384-00 that you referenced is for a single axle so if you had a tandem axle setup you'd need to order a quantity of two.
