Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 4 Kayaks on a 2013 Ford F-150 4-Door
Question:
Im a total newb so be nice I have two kayaks I would like to carry on top of my 2013 4dr F-150 pick up, while hauling my travel trailer. So I assume i need some sort of load bar system first? I like these types of racks : RRS520 But I dont have the bars on my truck, how do I find which bars and racks are right for me? I have 4 kayaks to carry. Thanks in advance for your help.

I will be happy to get you set up with a system to carry your kayaks on your 2013 Ford F-150. You mentioned that it is a 4-door. Is it the SuperCab or SuperCrew Cab that you have?
For either style cab you can use Rhino-Rack roof rack bars # RRVA150B-2, legs # RRRLKVA and custom clamp kit # DK150. I have linked a video review of this roof rack for you.
With this roof rack installed you will be able to use the Rhino-Rack kayak carrier # RRS520. The Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack comes with tie-down straps to secure 2 kayaks to your vehicle with built-in tie-down points. If your vehicle doesn't have built-in tie-down points you will need to purchase anchors, # RRRBAS-2, sold separately, to secure your kayaks.
If you plan on carrying more than 2 kayaks you will also need to purchase additional tie-down straps and anchors. The Rhino-Rack strap and anchor Kit # RRRBAS-RTD55P-RTD45P, sold separately, includes everything needed to secure 2 additional kayaks.
The roof rack capacity is 145 pounds but the roof capacity of your truck could be lower. Consult the vehicle owner's manual and/or Ford for the roof capacity of your specific model.
