Budget Friendly Roof Rack, Kayak Carrying and Bike Carrying Options for 2017 Ram 2500  

Updated 01/07/2021 | Published 01/05/2021



Question:

So, we have a 2017 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 Limited diesel. We tow a 36 5th wheel with it and are looking for a roof rack to carry 2 mountain bikes and 2 kayaks, while towing our 5th wheel. What suggestions do you have without breaking the bank?

Expert Reply:

The most budget friendly roof rack option we offer for your 2017 Ram 2500 would be the Vortex Aero rack from Rhino-Rack, which consists of:

• 59 Inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA150B-2
• Roof Rack Feet, part # RRRLKVA
• Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # DK043

The roof rack has a 165 lb weight capacity.

For a kayak carrier, Malone offers an inexpensive option for 2 kayaks, part # MAL38FR. This carrier has a 75 lb per boat weight capacity and includes the straps to attach the kayaks to the carrier as well as bow/stern tie-downs.

For a bike rack, Thule offers the ProRide XT, part # TH598004 which can carry a bike weighing up to 44 lbs.

I've linked to product demonstration videos for the roof rack, kayak carrier and the bike carrier mentioned above.
