Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500
Question:
With a 2016 Ram 1500 pulling a Travel Trailer, what are my options to secure a kayak. Id like to keep the the cover on the bed to keep stuff dry. The ladder racks wouldnt work with the mount holes being covered. It is a crew can. Is there an option to mount a rack on the roof?

Expert Reply:
A roof rack for your 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab would be your best option for carrying a kayak. The Rhino Rack Aero Kit part # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK043 would be a fantastic option that's confirmed as a fit for your truck for carrying a kayak carrier like our very popular Thule # TH834.
I attached a picture of this carrier installed on a similar Ram 1500 as yours as well.
