Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Ram 1500
Question:
For my 2018 Ram 1500 Crew Cab what roof rack should I get? I need to carry a kayak and need a carrier for that too.

Expert Reply:
The roof rack I recommend for your 2018 Ram 1500 Crew Cab the custom fit Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK043 because this rack comes with aerodynamically shaped crossbars which minimize wind noise and because this rack costs quite a bit less than the other racks of the same high quality. I attached a picture that shows this rack installed on a similar Ram 2018 1500 just like yours as well as an install video of the rack on the same truck.
Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 because this padded carrier can fold down when not in use and could carry a second kayak if ever needed.
