Question:
Would you recommend two cab crossbars for the front of a canoe or one should be fine? I plan on utilizing the hitch bed extender for the rear of the canoe. Its a 17 foot 70 lb canoe.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2022 Toyota Tacoma has a smaller bed and you're wanting to carry a longer canoe I encourage you to use a 2-bar roof rack system. For this I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex system which includes the following:
54" Vortex Crossbars - # RRVA137B-2
2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA
Fit Kit - # DK174
To keep your canoe safe from scratches on the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 I recommend using a foam block like part # MPG159 and then using something like the Rhino-Rack Pad and Tie-Downs # RRRWP04 to secure the canoe to the roof rack.
