Can Two 12 Foot Kayaks be Carried on a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on a Ford F-150 SuperCab

Question:

Will this rack support 2 - 12 foot kayaks without any additional hardware?

Expert Reply:

The weight capacity of the Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR79YR is 165 pounds so the rack itself can handle the 2 kayaks provided they do not exceed the capacity of the rack or of the truck roof. Consult the truck owners manual and/or Ford for the capacity of the roof.

The bar spread with this rack installed will be 29-1/2 inches on center. This is a good spread for kayaks. For kayak carriers I recommend the SportRack carrier # SR5511 which holds one kayak, so you would need two. This carrier fits bars up to 3-1/2 inches wide and a minimum bar spread of 24 inches. The Rhino-Rack roof rack fits both these requirements.
