Single Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor for Carrying a Canoe

Question:

I recently purchased a new canoe that is 20ft in length and would want to set up my Raptor to be able to carry it back and forth to the rivers. What parts are needed for a single roof rack along with a goal post hitch setup that will handle this 125lb canoe?? Also....will the Raptors thinner metal roof be able to handle this load safely?? Thanks for any info.

For a roof rack for your 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor you would want the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRRS448 and then the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches # RTL002.

You would need to check the owners manual to determine what the roof capacity is and be sure not to exceed that but the rack and T-load are rated for 165 lbs.
