Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor
Question:
Hello, my name is and I am currently looking to add a kayak rack to my truck. 2012 Ford raptor with tonneau cover. Looking on your site I was thinking of adding a Rhino Rack to my truck and adding a hitch rack to hold the kayaks. However, towing a travel trailer prevents me from adding a hitch rack. My weight distribution hitch currently is rated for 800lbs tongue. My question is, is there a work around to add the hitch rack to my hitch. It will not be carrying much weight. Only the hitch rack and 2 kayaks. Thanks for your help in advance.

Expert Reply:
The best option for carrying two kayaks with your 2012 Ford Raptor F-150 will be with a roof rack installed and a kayak carrier that can carry two kayaks since you are towing a trailer as well as have a tonneau cover which would make carrying anything in that area very difficult.
A roof rack solution is a very easy way to accomplish what you are looking for. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR79YR which is an aero bar rack confirmed as a fit for your truck with the Thule Canyon part # TH890000 would be a really great option that would solve your problem easily.
