Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft Bed
Question:
I want to carry a 12-14’ kayak or canoe on my 2018 super crew F-150. It has the 5’6” bed. I will also be towing my camping trailer. So it probably wouldn’t want to have it hang more than 3-4’ past the bumper for fear of it interfering with the camper. What would my options be for carrying this?

Expert Reply:
The best option to carry your kayak with your 2018 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed would be with the Rhino Rack roof rack and upright kit part numbers # RRVA150S, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, and # DK427H as this will give you bars you can mount the kayak further forward than a truck bed ladder rack. For a rack to install on the front bar you could then use the Yakima carrier # Y08083 and you'd be set.
