Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2020 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2020 Ford F-150 that I am towing a camper with that I need a way to transport two kayaks with. I believe I'll need a roof rack and kayak carrier, but is there a single kayak carrier that can carry two? What would you recommend?

The first thing you'll need is a roof rack installed on your 2020 Ford F-150 so that you can also mount kayak carriers. For that I recommend the Yakima JetStream roof rack that consists of part numbers # Y00426, # Y28TR, and # Y06122 as this is a very high quality rack that installs easily, has aero shaped bars for minimal wind noise, and will do an excellent job carrying a kayak rack. I attached an install video link to this page that shows it installed on a similar 2017 Ford F-150 for you to check out too.
For a kayak carrier that can carry two boats at a time we have the Thule Compass part # TH890000 as a really great option. It fits the Yakima bars and is easy to install and use plus like I mentioned has the convenience of being able to carry two kayaks at a time like you mentioned being interested in.
I attached a review video for the carrier for you to check out as well.
