Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks Installation - 2019 Ford F-150- Video

Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks Installation - 2019 Ford F-150

Hi everyone, Aiden here at Etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install these Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks on our 2019 Ford F-150 with a camper shell. The RTC rails are gonna be a custom solution to add a roof rack to your vehicle. Obviously we've got a camper shell today, but a lot of our neighbors really like using this just on the truck bed rails above a tonneau cover. If your tonneau cover sits pretty far in on the bed rails, this could be a really clever solution to add a roof rack above it so you can maybe mount a tent above the tonneau cover and still have your covered locked storage in the bed underneath. Our neighbor today though wants to use his truck to carry kayaks and with a short bed F-150 and a camper shell, he doesn't have a lot of options to get his boat to the water, but this is going to be a really great solution because it gets everything up on top of the camper shell, covered storage stays there underneath, and he can put crossbars up here, spread 'em out pretty far and get a really easy way to mount up his kayaks. more

How's it going everyone Today we are going to be taking a look at the Yakima JetStream roof rack system, installing it and explaining how it works on our 2021 Ford F-150. So, with the F-150 we have a good amount of bed storage, but if you want to get some longer or larger items, like say a kayak, or maybe you want to use this in conjunction with like a ladder rack system to get some longer loads up on top of your roof, this is gonna be a great option to do so. So, let's take a closer look at how it works. As far as the weight capacity goes of our roof rack system, it is really robust, but you want to keep a couple things in mind, that being the fact that the system itself has a weight, the accessories that you're gonna put on 'em. Also we're going to add to that, and your roof is going to be rated for a specific weight as well. Make sure you check the owner's manual in your case, find out what that weight rating is and make sure that all of the components, including the roof rack and the accessories don't exceed that limit. more
