Question:

Are there kayak saddles that work with this Ladder rack? I have a 2018 Ford Raptor and want to put the rack with the Bak revolver X2, but only if there are kayak accessories.

Expert Reply:

There are options for you to carry kayaks with your 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor on the TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack TA21508-02, though standard carriers will not work due to the width of the ladder rack's bars.

Instead, I recommend using the Thule Surf Pad # TH845000 to wrap around the TracRac bars, and using Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps # TH521 with the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes # TH855XT.

These 20" pads (you may need more than a set of two) along with the tie-down straps will allow you to secure your kayaks to your ladder rack and have the rack and BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39329 on your Raptor.I've added links to video reviews of these kayak accessories for you to check out.
