Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Mount - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

socalhomies · 07-04-2020, 11:52 AM

I'm looking at buying the Hobie PA12 and am considering transportation options. I really don't want to buy a trailer. I came across the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Mount system for transport on the car roof. Anybody have experience with this system? Or any recommendations for an alternate transport system. I have a Toyota 4Runner.

Thanks!

I used a Thule Hullavator to carry my Outback on my 4Runner. It was awesome. Not sure if the PA is too big/heavy.

Check this out. Also pricey but lifting a pro angler at the end of the day can suck. I’m not saying it’s not doable. But if I had a choice of not having to. I would avoid it. Especially When I’ve been on the water for 10-12+ hours I dread the loading.

I may be selling my Thule Hullavator soon.

After I am back from my Alaska trip, next month.

It was used a few time for Baja, on 4Runner.

Will a hullivator work for a PA 12?

Just lift it right over your head and slide onto roof rack.
