Can Yakima Roof Rack On 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Carry 2 Kayaks and 2 Bikes  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The roof rack that is designed to fit your 2005 Silverado is the Yakima roof rack with round crossbars. To order this roof rack you will need part # Y00409, part # Y00124, and part # Y00709.

The Yakima BigStack Roof Mounted 2 Kayak Carrier System, part # Y04041 is designed to work with the round crossbars so it will work well with the roof I mentioned.

Whether 2 bikes will fit the roof rack along with the kayaks depends on the height of the kayaks and how much of the crossbar space is taken. You can measure the kayaks when lying hull to hull and see how much space they will take up on the roof rack.

For a bike rack I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, part # Y02103. If you are planning on carrying 2 bikes you may need to orientate the bikes in opposite directions to make sure you have enough clearance.

It would be very tough to say if you can fit everything on the roof without knowing the height of the kayaks. You will also want to check your owner's manual or with the dealership to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity for your truck.
