Roof Rack or Truck Bed Rack for 2022 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
Question:
Looking for ski rack solutions for a 22 Toyota tacoma Double-cab short bed. Interested in roof rack and bed rack options that are available but getting overwhelmed with all the options. Also for roof racks, what are the pros/cons of going 3rd party vs OEM

For your 2022 Toyota Double Cab you could go with a Thule roof rack like the Wingbar Evo # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145107 to carry your bikes with a bike rack, or you could go with the bed rack option from Yakima the BedRock HD # Y01160-58 if you preferred to carry them there. I like the bed option because you won't have to lift your bikes as high and the bikes would be shielded slightly from the wind behind the cab. If your truck bed is clear this would be what I would go with.
If you would rather go the roof rack option that's a solid choice too as it works great for a lot of people and it frees up the truck bed. Either way you'll need bike racks. I really like the Yakima FrontLoader part # Y02103 which allows you to keep the front wheel on when transporting the bike and fits both crossbars mentioned.
OEM roof racks are typically quite a bit more expensive than aftermarket racks and there typically isn't a huge difference in quality if at all.
