Recommended Ladder Rack for Two Canoes on a 2011 Ford F-250 Crew Cab

Question

Question:

2011 Ford Super Duty 250 8’ Bed. How far can canoes extend over cab with this rack? Will this rack height be above my cab height so I can extend over cab with canoes? I have two long canoes. Current rack allows over cab but is not wide enough. I cannot go back too far or I hit the bikes and rv, bike rack is from you, works. Also have the hitch from you for front of truck, more bikes. Needs lots of room with kids.

Thanks for the picture! I checked with Yakima there's no specific distance with the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack item # Y01137-Y00411 that states how far the canoes can be mounted over the cab of your 2011 Ford F-250. A good rule of thumb is three feet though. So long as you stay below the 300 lbs weight capacity and have them properly secured you will be good.

The top of the crossbar for the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack item # Y01137-Y00411 is 29" from the top of your F-250's bed.

We had a 2018 F-250 in the shop we set this ladder rack up on and I have attached a picture below to show you the height difference. I have also linked a review video we made that will give you a detailed walk through of this ladder racks features.

Unfortunately there are no plug-in adapters or harnesses that would allow you to replace the factory 4-way flat trailer connector with a 7-way or a 7-way and 4-way connector on your 2005 Ford F-150. To complete the installation for a brake controller…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…

From your question it sounds to me like someone has cut off the tow package plug on your 2005 Ford F-150 and wired in a 4-way connector. In this case you could use the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole, #37185 which will give you a 4-way…
