Best vehicle for hauling a kayak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I cartop my hobie on my 2013 prius. The low roof makes it so much easier than my wifes larger CRV. Can also fit 10ft rods in it no problem and it gets 45mpg.

If youre planning on cartopping it I totally reccomend a lower roof like a wagon or hatchback.

I have a Subaru Outback with Yakima crossbars for my Hobie Adventure. It gets the job done with relative ease. In the past, I use to load the same kayak and a Hobie Revo 13 onto my previous car, a Honda Odyssey. Like Duke said, if there's a will there's a way.
