Bought the Dock Glide looking for an easier load. Had used typical j racks previously and found it extremely awkward for me to load from the side and having to use a step stool to "get it up" to the rack, even placing handles on each end of the cockpit. Installed loaded and went on my trip. Extremely easy to load from the rear, secures nicely with straps and bow/ stern lines. As with all Thule directions, yah gotta think about it for a sec but a breeze to put together. Happy so far.

I used my Yakima carrier to transport three kayaks on a recent camping trip. It performed perfectly and once unloaded it tilts down, allowing the tailgate to be opened. For kayaks, I think I would be better off with a stake mount rack in the rear bed stake holes because the kayaks are not quite long enough to span the distance from front of bed to the hitch mount.
