Recommendation For Carrying a Canoe On a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Towing a 5TH Wheel Camper

Question

Question:

We have a 2021 Chevrolet long bed diesel 1 ton pickup and tow a 35' fifth wheel. We had the t bar system with our previous truck but that doesnt fit this truck. Is there any solution so we can take our beautiful 16' Swift canoe with us!?

I recommend installing a Front Receiver # EH57FR on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. This will allow you to use a Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 on the front of your Silverado. You will be able to install the Single Crossbar # RRVA150B with the Legs # RRRLKVAH and Fit Kit # DK427H giving you a safe place to secure your canoe.

The Pads # RRRWP05 will help prevent any damage to your kayak and crossbars when loading and hauling your canoe.
