We use the Thule Hullavator system on the cab of our Chev Colorado crew cab for transporting our 14' double kayak. We love it. Easy to load and unload. Very secure.

I'm sure any Yakima or Thule dealer can recommend a system that will fit your truck. We've had a few different configurations on our Jeeps, but our next system will be the Hullavator. Ingenious! The DH has a bad shoulder and it's getting increasingly harder for him to lift the yaks up over his head to put on top of the vehicle and then you have to use a ladder to secure them once they're up there. With the Hullavator, everything is done at waist level and then flips up and locks into place. They are expensive but would make things so much easier.
