I have a solution for you. We do carry the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 4 Kayaks # RRS520. The Nautic Stac will clamp onto crossbars with maximum dimensions of 3 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall. In order to determine a definite fit on your Haul Master Ladder rack, I recommend measuring those dimensions. The Nautic Stack also comes with hardware to use on t-slot channels. However, I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the t-slot hardware will not work with their HD bars. Since your crossbars on the Haul Master look like HD bars, it is unlikely that the t-slot hardware will be compatible with your crossbars on your rack (if you even have channels).

With that being said, a sure bet to transport your three kayaks is the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL63FR. If you go this route, you will also need to purchase three sets of the Malone Cam Buckle Load Straps with Buckle Protectors - 12' Long - Red - Qty 2 # MPG307-12. In addition, you will need the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 7.5K # C45534 and a Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 41155.

If you need a hitch recommendation for your 2020 Nissan Titan, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76154. The Draw-Tite hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 8,000 pounds, which is plenty of towing capacity for the Malone EcoLight and three kayaks. The Draw-Tite Hitch comes with all required hardware for an easy, bolt-on installation.
