Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2012 Ford F150 Crew Cab Short Bed Truck. What type of roof rack is available to transport a Kayac for this vehicle? Thanks

I attached a link to a page that has all of the roof racks we offer that are confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Ford crew cab.
The most popular is the Thule Aeroblade bar rack that consists of part numbers # TH711520, # TH480R, and # THKIT1521. I attached an install video that shows how this rack installs on a similar Ford truck as well.
For a J-style kayak carrier the Hullaport part # TH834 would be a great option that would fit the crossbars well and would do a great job carrying your kayak. I attached a review video for this as well.
