Read somewhere that the hullavator was limited to 40#. Surprised the Revo hung in there.

That has to do with the gas struts and its ability to lift it from the loading position to on top of your vehicle. I use it on my outback with no problem. There is a limitation on width though. I wouldn't use it on anything wider than 33"

Throw a rug over the back bar, draped down over the back window. Lean the kayak up against the back of the truck. Lift lower end and slide it up the rug onto the pads. Strap it with rug still under the yak. Slide it down when you get there.
