Re: Any suggestions on canoe/ kayak carrier for the D ??

I use the Thule canoe rack (with outrigger assist) for my 16' Sawyer. Love it. Very easy for a single person to use.

I only use the cross straps that came with the Thule. I don't tie the front or rear of the canoe down. The main concern with canoes is keel stearing in the wind ripping them off sideways. Very rarely does a canoe lift up, and even then the straps will prevent that.

Granted, I've only tested mine to 65 mph ;^)

Yakima also makes an excellent, well thought out rack. I'm not familiar with the Mopar canoe mount.
