Recommended Crossbars/Ladder Rack for a Kayak Carrier On a 2014 Toyota Tundra  

Question:

I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Crewmax and am looking for a way to transport my two 14ft kayaks while towing my camper. The bed has a Bakflip folding hard tonneau cover so Im thinking roof rack might be the best option. The 14ft kayak length keeps me from using any vertical mount. Could you give me some options for roof carrying on my truck that would not go past the bed? Thanks in advance.

Since we don't have any crossbars that will work directly with your BAK tonneau cover you are going to be a bit limited.

One option is to use a set of roof crossbars like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2, with the legs # RRRLKVA, and the fit kit # DK079. From here, you could then use a kayak carrier like the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, Canoe, and SUP Roof Rack w/ Tie-Down # MAL38FR.

The only real issue I see with this setup is having a too much overhang from your kayaks impeding your visibility.

The other option would be to install a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT-610 but this would only work if your tonneau mounted completely inside your bed.

The kayak carrier referenced above with work with either option and can carry up to 2 kayaks weighing 75 lbs each.
