Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier Review - 2022 Ford Maverick- Video

Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier Review - 2022 Ford Maverick

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how the Yakima JayLow J-Style kayak carrier fits on top of our 2022 Ford Maverick. With this being a J-Style kayak carrier it's gonna be shaped kind of like a J and hold the kayak more upright like you see here. Personally, J-Style is one of my favorites just because it cradles the kayak really well. Makes a lot of contact with the hole of the boat for a very solid fit. more

Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof SUP or Kayak Carrier Review - 2022 Ford Maverick

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack standup paddleboard and kayak carrier and seeing how it fits on top of our 2022 Ford Maverick. Now this is going to be a saddle-style carrier. What that means is you've got these four pads with the articulating joints. And you're gonna have two on each crossbar, kind of cradling the boat in by the bottom. All the straps help hold it down into those and you can see how it flexes around the boat and gets a really strong hold on it overall. more

Malone DownLoader J-Style Kayak Carrier Review - 2022 Ford Maverick

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Malone Downloader J-Style kayak carrier and seeing how it fits on top of our 2022 Ford Maverick. So this is going to be a J-Style carrier. What that means is it's gonna hold the kayak a little bit more upright compared to other styles like saddle that will hold it more just flat on the roof. What that's gonna do is get us more space on a roof rack for other accessories whether that be another kayak, maybe a box or a basket. Whatever we wanna put up there we're gonna have the room for it. more

Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier Review - 2022 Ford Maverick

Hi everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Class 4 J-style kayak carrier and seeing how it fits on top of our 2022 Ford Maverick. So this is gonna be a J-style kayak carrier. What that means is the carrier itself is sort of shaped like a J and it's gonna hold your boat a little bit more upright like you see here compared to something that's gonna hold it by the hole, it's gonna take up a lot less space on your roof rack like this, and I'm a personal fan of J-style carriers because one, they're very stable, they get a lot of contact on the boat keeping it nice and still when it's on the roof, this one is certainly no exception to that rule, and then also you can just fit more on the roof rack. So if you wanted to take more than just the one kayak with us, we could very easily get another one of these carriers on the other side of our Maverick and get two to wherever we're going. more

Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier Review - 2021 Ford Bronco Sport

Hey, it's Ethan with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat Class 4 V2 kayak carrier on our 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. A kayak carrier like this one will help you get one kayak wherever you need it to go, up to 75 pounds. In the case of the Class 4, it's gonna be a J-style hook, which doesn't take up a lot of space on our crossbars at all. So if you wanted to get another kayak up there if your crossbars allow for that weight, you could do that or maybe even fit some other accessories on the other side as well. This carrier is secured on our 49" crossbars here and you can see we're still able to get one of the feet of the actual carrier on the outside which gets the kayak closer to us for easy unloading and loading. more

Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof SUP or Kayak Carrier Review - 2021 Ford Bronco Sport

Hey, this is Ethan at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Nautic Saddle Style Roof Rack Carrier for your kayak or your paddle board on our 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. This style of carrier is gonna be great for, like I mentioned, a longer kayak or a larger standup paddle board, 'cause you do have the ability to load it yourself with these pivoting cradles that we'll get into once we get the actual kayak removed. First thing we need to do to get the kayak removed is to get all our straps taken off. There are four straps included, including the bow and stern straps. To get those removed, we'll start by undoing this hook and loop strap that we're using for our excess, pulling the rest of the strap out. more

This is a fixed J-style kayak carrier, which basically means that it is a J-Hook style carrier, but it's in the fixed position, which means that it can't be folded down. So the way that it's on there is the way that it's gonna stay. It's capable of supporting a kayak up to 100 pounds, and it fits on our crossbar system using these clamps here. The clamps just hold onto our crossbars to this plate, and we just thread these hand knobs to secure it. more
