Roof Rack and Hitch Upright Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Colorado

Question

Question:

Hi, We have a 2015 Chevy Colorado, crew cab, 6 ft bed, Z71 package. Looking for a hitch mount set- up to enable carry of two kayaks. Looks as if the Rhino or Thule models would work. What bars for the roof and kayak mounts would accompany the hitch rack?

For your 2015 Chevy Colorado you would want the Rhino Rack Roof Rack part # RR99GR for a single crossbar roof rack to fit your truck, and then Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002 for the upright crossbar that installs in the hitch of the truck.
