Congratulations on the new truck!

For your 2019 Ford F-150 SuperCab I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack. This systems consists of # RRVA150B-2 for the two 59 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK427 for the Fit Kit.

This will provide you with an extremely sleek, aerodynamic roof rack that will allow for an extremely quiet ride. I really like the Rhino-Rack systems because they offer many of the great benefits and features of higher end racks but at a much friendlier price point. I have attached an image of this rack installed on a 2018 model F-150 so you can get a good idea as to how this will look on your truck.

If you don't yet have a kayak carrier I recommend taking a look at the Rhino-Rack J-Style Carrier # S510. These cradles will allow you to safely support 1 kayak that is up to 99 pounds. Tie-down straps and anchors are included to secure it into place.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can check out as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
