Expert Reply:

I have a solution for a roof rack and kayak carrier for your 2016 Ford F-150 Super Cab.

I recommend the Yakima JetStream Roof Rack System, # Y00426 JetStream Crossbars, # Y28TR BaseLine Towers, and # Y06122 BaseClip Fit Kit. The JetStream bars are an aerodynamic aero design that will cut down on wind drag and noise when in transit. The crossbars are constructed of lightweight and sturdy aluminum and full length design allows for maximum space for carrying roof mounted accessories.

For a one Kayak carrier, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier, # e98878. The carrier will mount to the JetStream bars and allow you to carry one kayak. The carrier will include both cam buckle load straps and bow and stern tie-downs.

If you plan to maybe carry more than one kayak, then I recommend the Thule Stacker Kayak carrier, # TH830. Like the JayHook, the Stacker will include load straps and bow/stern tie-downs to secure the kayaks. However, the Stacker will give you the option of carrying one or two kayaks on your F-150's roof rack.

I have included a review video on the Stacker carrier and an installation video on the Yakima roof rack on 2017 Ford F-150 for you to view.
