Question:

I have a 2022 F-150 with a supercab and I want to throw my 2 kayaks on the roof. I am going to need a roof rack and a carrier that can handle both.

Expert Reply:

Starting with a roof rack for your 2022 Ford F-150, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack. This roof rack consists of part numbers # TH711520, # TH710501, and # TH145177. This high quality rack is easy to install and has a weight capacity of 130 lbs. The TrailEdge design and WindDiffuser strips help to reduce drag, wind noise, and vibration.

For a kayak carrier, I recommend the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. This carrier has three different configurations and will allow you to carry two kayaks. It has the same capacity as the roof rack of 130 lbs. Keep in mind the carrier itself weighs 20 lbs so you will want to make sure you don't overload the roof rack. You should also check your owner's manual to make sure you don't exceed the weight limit of your roof. The wide cradle mouths make it easy for a single person to load and unload kayaks and it comes with four tie-down straps with padded buckles to secure your kayaks.

I have attached an installation video of the roof rack and a review of the kayak carrier for your reference.
