- STSuzanne T.Verified BuyerRated 5 stars1 year agoLove it!
The Yakima Showdown Load Assist is great. It allows us to easily load our kayaks to our Subaru Forester.

Tried today. So far no issues - works as advertised. Look and feel is very good.
Easy to install. I used "Yakima Showdown" with "53†Universal Locking Roof Rack Crossbars by Vault" - both could be added and removed very quickly on Toyota 4Runner 2016.
Kayak load/unload/strap is much faster and convenient now. I even can't compare how much easier it was to load / unload my Wilderness 17' kayak vs. my old "Yakima HullyRollers" and "Yakima DeckHand Kayak Saddles" set. (There is nothing wrong with these two - is just much easier for one person to use Yakima Showdown.)
It could be five stars but I don't like bow and stern tiedown lines hooks - they should be some sort of snap spring clip carbine hooks - I really felt uncomfortable and insecure with the open hooks.
