Crossbar and Goalpost Upright Recommendation for Truck with Front Hitch for Carrying Kayak
Published 01/03/2018
Question:
I have a GMC 3500 crew cab that I tow a 5th wheel with. I have installed a front hitch and am searching for the right combination of roof rack and front goal post style rack to carry canoes or kayaks. What would be your suggestions?

Expert Reply:
Since I don't know what year truck you have the best solution I can recommend currently would be the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA944-968-924 which comes with the upright that mounts in the trailer hitch and then a single crossbar you can mount on the roof of your vehicle.
I attached an install video for this setup for you to check out as well.
