Roof Rack and Hitch Mounted Upright Crossbar Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

Need advise on best products. F-150, 2016, Supercrew Cab, 5.5bed. I want to carry a paddle board above the cab. Looking to use a thule goal post or a Yakima dry dock. Will have one roof rack bar at the back of the cab. Looking at thule aeroblade. Here are my questions: Do they sell the roof racks with only one bar? Which is better, thule, Yakima, or others? Which receiver mounted goal post is more sturdy? Thanks

For a single crossbar roof rack plus a hitch mounted upright crossbar the best option we have is the Rhino Rack setup that consists of part numbers # RRVA150S, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, and # DK427H.

The Rhino Rack roof racks are a great option I recommend for a lot of people. They are higher quality like Yakima and Thule but are at a better price.

I attached a review video that shows just the upright portion being demoed for you to check out as well.
