Question:
We will unlikely he towing a trailer but do have a bike rack that hitch mounts but not essential. We have a soft fitted bed cover that we would like to remain so we can travel with items stowed in the bed. We currently have a Thule Hull-a-Port Pro which I use on my car which could be moved over. I am thinking likely an over the bed/cab option would be most beneficial. Hope that helps!

There are ways you can carry 138 pounds worth of kayak with your 2017 Ford F-150 but I need a little more information. Are you wanting to carry them on the roof, above the bed, in the bed, somewhere else? Will you also be towing a trailer at the same time and if so what kind of trailer (5th wheel, bumper pull)?
The location you intend to carry the kayaks will determine the best options.

Follow up question on a 2016 Ford F150 Super Crew Cab. I would like to have a roof rack for a fishing kayak or small canoe. I do tow a travel trailer and the bed has a tri-fold tonneau cover which limits me to no hitch extender or bed rack. Is it recommended to use only roof rack mounts for a kayak, or should I consider a front mount hitch receiver? And is that even possible with the turbo intercooler location in the front lower bumper on this truck?
