I own a couple kayaks and a canoe, and am considering purchasing a two person kayak in the future. I am looking for opinions on hauling them on a truck roof. I have a super crew F150 with a topper and am considering purchasing a rack that clamps onto the door jam, but would like to hear your experiences first. Thanks!

It could carry two if needed. I think a rack on only the roof of the truck cab may not safely carry more than one kayak at a time but that is just MHO. agesilaus • View posts North Florida Senior Member Joined: 05/06/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/03/22 12:00pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Grand Adventure carrying a Kayak One solution if you have a pickup.

You will need to purchase a front hitch and then have a welder make up your goal post mount. Then you will also need one roof type rack. You end up with a very stable and strong carrier which will carry just about any length you want. As you can see mine also incorporates a bike rack. This set up also creates a very easy loading system. The front goal post rotates so you load the front of the canoe on it first and then lift the back of the canoe and walk it around to the roof rack. That way you only lift one end at a time.
