Demonstration movie of the Yakima Racks RACK and ROLL Trailers showing features that include compatibility with any class trailer hitch receiver (includes 1-7/8" coupler to fit standard 1-7/8" ball mounted to any 1-1/4" or 2" receiver hitch; also available as optional accessory is 2" coupler), beautiful design styling and superb smooth rolling even on bumpy roads, very light-weight, so you can easily tow with any car or truck, even today's smallest, most fuel efficient, compact cars. Available in two versions with either 78" crossbars or 66" crossbars, the Yakima RACK and ROLL trailer offers the convenience of loading luggage, bikes, canoes, kayaks and other gear at a low-level near to the ground. The tow trailer eliminates hassles of loading boats and equipment up onto a car roof rack. Simply attach any canoe racks, kayak racks, bike racks, cargo boxes and more right to the pair of included crossbars. The 78" RACKandROLL trailer model carries up to 300 lbs and the 66" RACKandROLL trailer holds up to 250 lbs (optional heavy-duty shocks allow for transport of additional 50 lbs.) Stores very quickly and compactly. Arrives via regular shipping and includes easy instructions for quick assembly. Several RACK and ROLL Trailer accessories also available, including spare tire, tongue extension to allow for 22 ft. boats (regular tongue allows for up to 17 ft. boat), 2 inch coupler, heavy-duty shocks and more.

Yep, it is a nice trailer for Yaks. But way too high at most boat launches IMHO. I use one weekly n getting wet up to my nuts or more to lift n push sucks. I should've looked around more when I decided to get a fishing kayak which weighs with gear at 300 lbs.

Otherwise, it's a great trailer, but haven't needed to change a wheel yet. I bet finding a wheel nut wrench won't be easily found. Also, your key lock on tongue cam lock sucks too. The lock fell apart 2nd time I used it. I added a longer hitch to get yak in water farther, n going to try a rope winch today 10Aug2018 actually. Thought I'd watch how others load heavy fishing Yaks. I am going to build my own trailer this winter n can't wait to use it. Pretty disappointing that a nice trailer like this one sucks at launch n loading. I have loaded boats all my life, n have a JetCraft 21' JFYI.

Great video. Should be in 4K

Great trailer...too bad this was filmed with a potato cam.

Scott Schoen - 8 years ago

Nice! But how fast can you tow? Also, the most important feature I look for is security. When I'm out on the water I can't help but wonder who is stealing my trailer?

I agree,

MaZEEZaM - 10 years ago

looks like a great trailer, the kick stand should be standard though.

I carry my stick on outside of kayak, remember to stock a head lamp n extra battery's. Use (3) pole setups n your time will be much happier as a Yak owner. I am going to build a custom twin trailer n make it 12" off the ground, it'll be a great trailer IMHO. Lock all your gear up, some lake people are pos n think nothing of stealing gear from someone.

Thanks for the informative video. I was hoping to learn how far the trailer would stick out from the garage wall with the tires off. A side view with feedback of how many inches it sticks out would be my suggested improvement to this video. Looks like a great product.

I have a Jeep, and I am an avid paddler, I can lift all my kayaks on my roof, but it is a pain as well as tiresome. Also for a Jeep the wind noise and gas it takes to regularly carry a roof rack is ridiculous. Lastly I have fiver kayaks and my friend has one, my Jeep can only carry four. Not to mention I kayak with a lot of elderly people, they can paddle just fine for hours, but lifting something above one's head is a different matter.

Yep! Nothing like doing overhead presses at the end of the day with your yaks, and getting saltwater and sand all over your truck as it drips down. I'm definitely getting one of these!

Kerry B - 12 years ago

In response to why not use the truck instead of the carrier ... The bed of the truck is too short for many kayaks. We've been loading ours on the top of the truck via racks. It is a chore to get two, 14-foot kayaks up there and tied down. After that, you need a beer or two; especially after being out kayaking all day. We're looking for something a lot easier to haul them.

Awwww, that's darling.... Why?

gimplar - 12 years ago

..There are some kayaks that don't weigh <50lbs. Like the hobie fishing kayaks which start at ~65-70lbs up to the Pro Angler which is about 100lbs stripped down. I wouldn't want to lift a 100lb kayak onto the roof of my car.

I use my Yakima Rack and Roll (HumblePower $1755) for my wooden kayaks. Pricey ...but very well made

if you don't like this, then don't get it

We have owned this trailer for almost two years now and love it. The only downside is people stopping us all the time asking about it. I put up a little page showing ours with our kayaks and bikes on it. southfloridabeachsnorkeling.info/rack-and-roll-trailer/

A88mmck - 6 years ago

My concern is someone trying to steal it while im on the water. Have you had any issues ? Are you able to lock it up ?

david cunningham - 13 years ago

I purchased trailer this summer, it's AWESOME !!!! Worth the price , great engineering !!!!!!!!!!! dave cunningham dcdavidrcunningham@gmail.com

I have a compact car and I'm looking for a way to haul 2 recumbent tricycles. This looks like the ideal solution. The only issue is that it's a bit pricey. Thanks for posting this review.
