We are a 4 kayak family. 2 ten footers, 1 twelve footer and a 14.5 footer. We normally carry all four on a Thule rack atop the van. My kayaking friends who have ten footers and a short pick up box successfully strap then into the pick up bed. It only works if you have enough clearance between the bow of the yak and the trailer on turns. Amazon has a pick up rack that will put some of the boat over the cab. Around$90. Be advised a shorter yak will not track as straight as a longer one. All depends on what you are doing. Best of luck
