I have the perfect option that will allow you to use the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs part # TH834 on a truck bed ladder rack that is compatible with your 2017 Ford F-150. For this, you will need the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack part # Y01136-Y00410 as this is the only ladder rack that will allow the use of standard crossbar accessories.
The Yakima Outdoorsman has two 66" long crossbars with a weight capacity up to 300 lbs. The ladder rack stands 26-1/2" tall x 16" long. This ladder rack will also be compatible with the majority of our roof rack mounted accessories.
