Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Ram 1500 and Kayak Carrier
Question:
Hello, I am considering a roof rack for my 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab. This rack will be used to carry 2 kayaks 10 ft and 12 ft that weigh approx 135 pounds together. Which roof rack and kayak cradles do you recommend? Thanks

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK043. This is a very cost effective setup and the shape of the bars minimizes wind noise.
Then use the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs, # TH890000. The vertical (post-style) position lets you carry 2 kayaks - 1 on each side of carrier.
