Review on Reese Towpower 7018100 Black Canoe Loader by Greg Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for towing gear and winches

I wanted to buy a 17ft Lowe aluminum canoe but couldn't imagine what my 25 year old was like. The old 4 cylinder Toyota Camry could hold that length and weight on the roof. However, after reading customer reviews of this "trailer post", I ordered it along with an inexpensive hitch tensioner. There were already two easily removable roof rack bars, but when we put the canoe on it we only needed one roof rack because of the rear hitch rack. The canoe was tied tight at the front (tied across), once at the top, once at the back, and it worked great! Nothing wobbles or wobbles anywhere for 300 miles. back home, and no whimpering or whining from the old Camry. However, I doubt I'll ever use it for "single boot" with a rear swivel bar as I'm 78 years old. old woman.!. but it is a wonderful item for towing cars more stably. I also like the "adapter" bar that allows you to start the hitch ball and also allows you to tow a trailer with this rack. And that it all disassembles easily and fits conveniently in the trunk of a car or in storage when not in use. Genius.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Almost never
