For your 2022 Chevrolet Colorado with the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX26NV, I recommend going with the Yakima Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style w/ Rollers # Y04083-04082.

This mounting kit will simply clamp around the crossbars on your TruXedo Elevate system and will allow you to transport 1 kayak that weights a maximum of 80-lbs.

This kit also includes 2 load straps with padded cam buckles to secure your kayak, 2 flexible saddles for maximum support, and 2 padded pivoting rollers to allow the kayak to be easily loaded from the rear of your truck.

Attached is a review video for you to check out as well.

@KennethG Kenneth you can use two of the Yakima Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082. These cradles have an 80 lb capacity each, and both include 2 rollers, 2 saddles. 2 load straps and 2 bow/stern tie downs.
