Question:

We have a 2020 Silverado with a Leer canopy, new body style short bed. We are looking at the Rhino rack with the Kayak post to put on the canopy. Is this the best option and what is the best size? Rhino post kayak or Malone Stack? We have three kayaks.

Expert Reply:

There a few options to add a rack to the Leer Canopy on the 2020 Chevy Silverado depending on if you have the tracks in your canopy already. I recommend Rhino Rack part # Y01-140B which comes with the tracks to install into your canopy. This will require drilling.

If you already have tracks, you can use Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks # Y01-120-NT which can be used in the Thule tracks of the Leer Canopies.

To carry 3 kayaks, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # RRS520 which will allow you to carry 4 kayaks and has hardware to install in the channels of your cross bars unlike the Malone option. If you use the Y01-120B-NT this carrier will fit as well.
