This Kayak Cradle Is Fabulous!

My husband kept going on and on about the high quality of the entire rack system I purchased for my KIA Forte and about how well made it is and the ease of assembly and instruction.

Scion XA Can Handle 2 Kayaks

We weren't sure if these carriers would work because scion xa isn't listed. This is a small scion but it was able to handle 2 kayaks with these Rhino Rack fixed J style kayak carrier. We loved how easy it was to load and unload our kayaks. Each time we use it, we learn a little faster technique to tie them down. Not only do we use our kayaks more, we can use a car instead of our truck, allowing us to transport to places further away without the gas costs of our truck. Having two kayaks on the car does use up our gas quicker but still cheaper than transporting in a truck. The model in this survey says IA but doesn't mention an XA. You might want to add the XA.

Extension

Would only get I car is narrow. When paired with folding j racks, one lays flat, others held too upright which easily tips over. Also places tie-down positions in the center of the vehicle, hard to reach. Works if the only solution. I feel it was a waste of money and ordered second j racks.

Customer service has been top notch! The racks are very functional and easy to use. I have the whole Rhino Rack system for my vehicle. Would highly recommend both this product and this vendor for future purchases.

Great Product!

I am super impressed with this kayak carrier. I feel absolutely reassured when my kayak is secured now. This carrier is super easy to install on my luggage rack and load my kayak on. I would definitely recommend this product. The delivery was quick as well.

Great Product

This is a great product. I like the folding style to allow for a cleaner look. This product is great quality, and very easy to install. No tools required. This product comes with straps as well so you have everything you need in one box ready to hit the road with your kayaks. The price is a little higher than other products but the quality and ease is worth the extra cost. I purchased the Rhino-Rack Folding J-Style Carrier and the expansion carrier. I still have room on the top of my FJ cruiser and I intend to buy another set. Great products.

Great Product

Very easy to install. The only thing was that the bolts to mount were not long enough for the roof rack that I bought, but I think it was because I got the heavy duty cross bar racks from Rhino that are much thicker than the normal ones. But just had to change them out, no big deal. Still a great product.

Is excellent to carry my ladders. I put 40 f en 28 plus 24 on the top of my truck, I make sure they are secure and do the job. I love this RTL002, it really works.
