What Type of Ladder Rack is Easiest to Adjust to Fit in and Out of Garage
Question:
I have a Ford F150 2017 Lariat. I want to use these racks for my kayaks and other stuff for camping. Im not sure my truck will fit in the garage with them on so Im wondering how easy they are to remove, just the pole part, not the assembly on the truck rails. I dont have help putting them on or taking them off so are they easy for small person to put them on by herself? Thanks,

I have a really great idea that will allow your truck to easily fit in your garage without requiring you to disassembly a ladder rack. What your best solution would be is a ladder rack that has an adjustable height like the Thule Xsporter part # TH500XTB which would allow you to lower the bars in a matter of seconds to fit in your garage and then raise them back up when outside of the garage. Just be sure to remember to lower them always so you don't hit the bars on anything!
