Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier Review - 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Hi Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Yakima JayLow kayak carrier on a 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Now this is gonna be a great option for you if you're looking for something that's not gonna be able just to carry one kayak but also two kayaks. Now let's take a closer look at it. So this is gonna hold your kayaks down with this J-style, but if you need to hold more than one kayak, if we look at the other ones we have on here today, you can actually rotate the arms to make 'em vertical and that's gonna let you hold two kayaks. If you have one kayak, you're gonna be able to hold up to 80 pounds, but if you put two on there, that's going to go up to 110. more

Yakima Saddle Style Kayak Roof Rack Review - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Hi, Matt with etrailer and today we're gonna be talking about the Yakima Kayak Carrier with saddles and rollers on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. What's great about this one is that it's gonna have these rollers on the back and that's gonna make getting your kayak up there a lot easier, is you're gonna just gonna be able to lift it up and roll it across those rollers and that's gonna be a lot easier to sit down on top of your vehicle. Now let's take a closer look on how to take off our kayak. And to start off with that, we're just gonna remove our balance and stern straps. These straps are gonna have a lot of good tie-down points, right now we just have it hooked on to some of the hardware for our hitch. In our case today, you can hook it onto a lot of different tiedown points inside the truck, since we have these built-in anchor points or you can even use these anchor points built into our ladder rack. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline right here at etrailer and today I have the Yakima ShowDown Kayak and Standup Paddleboard Carrier with Lift Assist. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Kia Seltos. The Yakima ShowDown is going to be a lift assist kayak carrier, which means that it makes it easier for you to get the kayak up and onto your roof. The way this does that is that it has a track where it slides out and then it pivots down so that you load your kayak down here instead of lifting it up and over onto your roof, which is awesome. But there are some downsides and the main downside is that you need to make sure you have the right roof rack. So I know that Kia Seltos has some different options for trims. more

Some other carriers say you can carry two kayaks or one kayak with them, this one actually makes it happen. So we'll focus on how it fits here on a smaller car like the Chevrolet Sonic. So we have this in a single kayak J-style position, but you can carry around two kayaks with this too. So see this back post Well, if you have it in the down position, you can carry around your kayak, and if you have it in the upright post position, you can then install this second part of your Malone FoldAway-5 and then carry around two kayaks. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Kuat Class 4 C2 Kayak Carrier and how it fits on the 2022 Kia Forte. This is one of my favorite kayak carriers. It's definitely a premium one with a bunch of premium features that just makes it easier for you to carry around your kayaks, and you have integrated locks. Now we do have 'em on the SeaSucker round bars, and pretty much no matter what kayak carrier you have, there will be a little bit of rotation on round bars, but this one has it down to a minimum. So this has a bunch of integrated locks, but you aren't able to lock the kayak to the carrier. That's something to keep in mind. more

Maybe not the best if you're planning on leaving it on for long periods of time, but it is going to get a really good strong hold on the kayak up on your roof here. J-style's gonna also be great for getting multiple kayaks on your roof if you'd want to. So if you've got a friend coming with you, you can pop one of these on the other side of the vehicle, and still have some room on your crossbars to spare. more

And they just hold the kayak really well. You can see this is solid up there. Everything is cradled in really nicely, and the strap kit does a really good job of holding it down into those cradles, keeping things solid on the roof. more
