Roof Rack For 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 to Carry Kayaks  

Question:

Expert Reply:

To carry kayaks on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'll need a roof rack; the reason is your Extang # EX94455 soft folding tonneau cover lays atop the bed rails, so there's no way to utilize any type of rack system on those rails. A roof rack will work so long as you have a Crew Cab or Double Cab, and the best option is from Rhino-Rack.

Reason for that is Rhino-Rack is the best value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars. The parts that make up the Rhino-Rack roof rack that fit your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 (both Crew and Double Cab) are the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Silver # RRVA150S-2 or Black # RRVA150B-2

- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA

- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK415

This system will allow you to carry kayaks with either the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # S512-S512X for a pair of kayaks or for a single kayak the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512.
