Expert Answers about Boat Ladders


  • Ladder Roller for an Apex Ladder Rack
  • It sounds like you are looking for a ladder roller for your Apex ladder rack. While we do not sell Apex-specific rollers, we do have something that can work. It's the Ladder Roller for Yakima HD Bar, JetStream, FlushBar, and RailBar Crossbars, part # Y01163. It's built for Yakima crossbars, but it utilizes the T-slot of the bars. So, if your Apex ladder rack has a T-slot, this will work great for you. It has a 75-pound capacity. I've linked to a video review of this roller that demonstrates...

  • Best Support for Bow of Boat Carried on Ladder Rack on 2018 Ford F-150 Super Crew 5-1/2-Foot Bed
  • My research indicates that Apex offers both over-the-cab ladder racks like the Thule TracRac Universal Steel Rac # TH91000 and also standard 2-bar racks like the T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH37002XT. I presume you have one of the standard 2-bar racks. You have the option of installing a roof rack on your F-150's super-crew cab to help support the bow of the boat. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero rack # RR29XR offers a sleek appearance and quiet performance thanks to its aerodynamic-shape...

  • Will The Buyers Products Truck Bed Ladder Rack Clear The Roof Of A 2019 Ford F-250 W/ A 16' Canoe?
  • While we have not personally loaded a 16' canoe on the Buyers Products Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # 3371501680 and checked the clearance with the roof on a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty, this is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and will work just fine. The crossbars that your canoe would mount to do not sit on the roof, but rather 27" from the truck bed rails to the bottom of the crossbars. Like I mentioned earlier, this ladder rack is confirmed to fit your truck, however if you...

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendations for Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack
  • Thanks for reaching out! Kayak carrier style really boils down to how you plan on using your Yakima OverHaul HD ladder rack. If you plan on just carrying 2 kayaks then saddle style will be easier to use since you can set into the back of the truck as you're loading the boats. If you need to carry more than a few kayaks or you need additional cargo space then J-Style is what you want. For a saddle style I really like the Yakima Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style w/ Rollers # Y04083-04082...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Use with DeeZee Invis-A-Rack on 2017 Ford F-150
  • You can carry two kayaks on the DeeZee # DZ951550, but there aren't specific carriers that are designed to fit on the crossbars on this ladder rack. You could load the kayaks on the bars without anything on them, but the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 18" Long # MPG152 would be a great choice to add some protection and keep the boats from getting scratched up. The Malone kit comes with tie downs included, so it would have everything you need to secure the...

  • Recommended Solution to Add Cross Bars and Bed Extender to Retrax XR on 2019 Ram 1500 for Kayak
  • To add a rack to your Retrax XR tonneau cover I recommend using the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 and Tonneau Cover Adapter Kit # Y01155. Once you install this rack you can use the Yakima Long Arm # Y01149 to give you a long and secure platform for the kayak. This combo will give you a great setup capable of handling your Old Town Autopilot 120 kayak, and pretty much anything else you can throw at it. The OverHaul HD is one of the only racks that is designed...
