Rack options for an F150 full size bed??

Post by rsieminski »

I could just line them up and strap them down, but I just paid over 2k each for the new ones, and don't want to get them all rashed from the bed. What are the options for racks for them? I have 3 total. Maybe a DIY foam cushion on the bed under each one?? I need ideas.

Yeah, that looks cool for rods, but not for the Kayaks.

What exactly are you looking for? Something that attaches to the roof, something you can install on the bed rails or in the bed? If securing the bed I would use those foam noodles and some ratchet straps.

I'd like to have a removable ladder/canoe rack but with the roll-n-lock on my 05' it's not going to happen unless I do some mods.

A ladder rack might work. Good idea. Any way to carry 2-3 yaks with a truck without beating them up.

Look for the hitch rack it goes onto the ball it swivels 360 looks like a T then get the thule rack that goes on the cab and that will balance the boats right I had one that worked real well before

I ended up with an Extend-a-truck for under $100. Works really well, and is easy to remove. Thanks for the help.
