For a third crossbar to install on your cab of your 2021 Ford F-150, it depends on what cab style you have. If you happen to have a SuperCrew cab or a SuperCab, I recommend the following setup:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar - Aluminum - Black - 59" # RRVA150B
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points # RRRLKVAH
- Custom DK Fit Kit for 2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK427H

This Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar system is a half system that includes all the hardware needed to install a single crossbar onto the bare roof of your SuperCrew cab or SuperCab. It's an extremely aerodynamic system that provides you with a quieter overall ride.

The reason why the single Monkey Bar is the best option is because there are no traditional roof racks that are compatible with a Regular cab on a 2021 Ford F-150. Apart from the Monkey Bar, all other solutions require drilling into the cab of your new truck.

If you need straps to support your ladder, I recommend the etrailer cam buckle straps # E98876-4.
