Recommendation For Roof Rack For 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab  

Question:

I am wanting to put a couple of Kayaks on the roof of my 2016 Silverado crew cab. However, while navigating your web site it is difficult to figure out exactly what I need. This includes the rack, mounts and accessories needed for kayaks. I wish on the website it would have everything you needed on the same page, not trying to navigate to other pages and guessing if everything will work together or I need anything else.

Based on your information, I have a solution for you. For your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack system: Vortex Aero Crossbars (Item # RRVA150B-2), Legs Kit (Item # RRRLKVA), and DK Fit Kit (Item # DK377).

The Rhino Rack fits to your naked roof with clamp-style attachments. It is 59 inches long, the crossbar spread is 31-1/2 inches, and the weight capacity is 165-lbs. Locks are included and the Aero crossbars have a low-profile, aerodynamic design that will reduce noise. I have attached a video with them on a 2018 Ford F-150.

For carrying your kayaks, I recommend the Thule Stacker, Item # TH830. This kayak rack offers up to a 4 boat capacity and universal mounting system. When not in use, the Stacker folds down flat for a cleaner look. The Stacker requires 24 inches minimum bar spread and kayaks cannot be longer than 10 feet. To secure more than one kayak, you will need extra straps like the Thule Tie-Down Strap, Item # 753-2030-02.

Make sure to check your owner's manual for instructions and weight capacities regarding adding a roof rack to your 2016 Silverado.

I have attached some additional information and videos to assist you.
