Pros

You only need a phillips screwdriver for the assembly. Keeps my car scratch free and is well worth the money. My car is a 2021 chevy blazer.



Cons

The stinger is the black thing sticking up about 2 feet behind the rear cross bar. The mirage drive hole in the hull of the outback caught on the stinger upright. Until they fix the design flaws i would look elsewhere. All in all, same concept but a t...  Read More

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We had a lot of trouble getting 2 kayaks onto my wife’s 4runner which is tall and has an extended spoiler over the tailgate


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With our previous “tower” kayak rack we were scratching the spoiler and the kayaks were hard to tie down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However whoever packs the product in a box for shipping to the customer needs to do a better job


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There were 8 inches of space between the factory package and the shipping box


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You could feel the product sliding inside


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I previosly owned a pick up truck and transport was simple just throw the boat in the bed and go

    I dont have the upper body strength and am not tall enough to reach my boat up and into the hooks on the roof without the aid of a set stool

    I also found strapping the kayak down in the j hooks to be more complicated than i care to deal with
