Kayak rack

Any one try one of these?

Clicky
  • I use my Yakima rack that I already have for the bikes. Has worked well now for 3 different trucks.
  • If I can figure out storage for the kayaks, I have considered the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer and doing a tandem tow.

    I've had a custom receiver hitch welded for back of trailer, use it for bike rack, plenty enough capacity for the light trailer, a couple kayaks and bikes.
  • We're planning to get one this spring, probably before May, the model with the dual crossbars. It should fit our 10' kayaks well. Not wanting one with a front end bracket. With an 8' bed & crew cab I think it will work well.

    I like the fact that it can be dismantled & stored easily.

    The only one I have seen like what you are showing came all the way over the truck cab and hood and had supports going down to the truck front bumper...
