How To Carry Kayaks On a 2018 Ram 2500 with RamBox
Question:
I am looking for a rack to fit my ram 2500 with the Ram Box. I am open to all options. The rack is to carry a kayak. I want to use the receiver hitch to pull a trailer, so any options that dont use the receiver will work.

Expert Reply:
In order to haul kayaks on a 2018 Ram 2500 with RamBox you'll need to place them on the roof with a roof rack and roof mounted kayak carrier. The reason for this is that no one makes a ladder rack that will work with the RamBox.
For a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar part # RRVA150B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK043 is an excellent option. Then for a kayak carrier, you'll need to go with a j-style and for this I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # S512-S512X.
