How to Transport a 14 Kayak with my Ford F-150 While I Haul my Bumper Pull Camper
Question:
Can I use this rack with my 2012 F150 supercab 6’6 bed with 14’ kayak. I’ll be pulling a tab 320 bumper pull trailer. What kayak racks work with this rack? I need something that I can roll or push the kayaks into the rack from a step stool. I’m 5’4”. I’m hoping I don’t a rack for the roof of the truck? Thanks.

In order to haul a 14' kayak a roof rack itself is not going to be far enough apart to accommodate the length and weight of the boat.
You can however use the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT and add the Lockrack Watersport Carrier - Kayak, Canoe, or 2 SUPs part # LR54FR that will fit into the tracks on the Thule ladder rack. This will allow you to load your kayak from the rear of the truck or the side of the truck with this setup.
