Recommend Invis-A-Rack for 2019 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Bed To Secure Kayak

Question

Question:

Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 500 lbs Item # DZ951600 This looks like exactly what I want, but I cannot find the length specifications for it. I need a rack to support a 200 lbs Hobie Pro Angler 14 on the truck while hauling a travel trailer behind. I have a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2foot bed and Im not sure the rack will fit since I cant see specs. Will it fit the truck? Will it hold the kayak? I know the actual weight is less, but itll have to bear the weight on 1 bar while loading. Is there something to aid in loading or protect the kayak?

Expert Reply:

The correct Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack for your 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed is part # DZ951550, the part # DZ951600 is for a 6-1/2' bed. If the length specification you are looking for is of the base rails then what I can tell you is that they sit about 2-3" in from the very end of the bed rail. The Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack will do an excellent job of holding your Hobie Pro Angler 14.

Although we don't have a carrier specially for the Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack, you can modify the cutout inside the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style part # MPG152 to make them work for you and protect your Hobie Pro Angler 14.
