2020 Ford F-150 Ladder Rack Recommendation for Carrying Kayaks and Bikes
Question:
Hi We have a 2020 Ford f150 5.5 ft bed, want to carry 2 10 ft kayaks and 2 bikes. Already have Thule bigfoot bike rack and rhino kayak cradles. I think some kind of rack over the bed would be best any suggestions?

Thank you for all of the details! Since you're wanting to carry 10 ft kayaks and your 2020 Ford F-150 has a 5-1/2' bed we need to get you a ladder rack that sits higher than your truck cab.
For your application I highly recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack with 78" Crossbars # Y01151-59 for a few reasons; it has height adjustability so you can reduce the height if you are ever carrying just your bikes, and it has the longer 78" crossbars so you can fit as many accessories as you can. The Yakima HD crossbars that come with this are also smaller than the standard crossbars that come with ladder racks so you won't need any special adapters to get your bike rack and kayak carriers to fit.
I've attached a review video for you to check out.
