We can help you with a cost-effective roof rack for the cab of your 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab. All roof racks for your truck configuration are shown on the linked page.

Since 4 bikes could easily reach the weight limit of your cab roof and/or of the roof rack you select I urge you to consider the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero rack which uses elliptical crossbars that provide a 165-lb capacity. You can choose a black bar rack, parts # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK190, or for a silver bar substitute # RRVA150S-2.

You can select compatible bike carriers for these elliptical bars using the other link provided. Roof bike racks are available in three general types, fork-mount, frame mount and wheel mount. Examples of each type are Rhino-Rack Mountain Trail # RBC035 and their Hybrid # RRRBC050.

The linked article on roof bike racks will help you select carriers that suit your particular bikes.

Hitch-type bike racks for use on the back of a camper/trailer have to be specially made for such use. A standard hitch bike rack meant for a passenger vehicle could easily be damaged if installed on the back of a trailer. You found this out already!

Answer 3

Since your truck bed is occupied by your 5th wheel hitch and since there are no 5th-wheel-mount kayaks carriers the best option is to use a front-mount hitch such as #65022 along with a load support like #EM07605. This would put much of the…

Answer 12

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
