Question:
Im trying to come up with a solution to haul canoes in my 2010 F-250 short bed crew cab and still be able to pull my travel trailer. The ideal solution would be 1 tower of this product Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 78 Crossbars Item # Y01151-59 plus a single rooftop crossrail over the cab. Something like this product: Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack - Aluminum - 300 lbs - 78 Crossbars Item # Y01160-59 Do you sell the components or can I buy just 1/2 of each set? I only need one rooftop crossrail and one truck bed rack Thank you,

Expert Reply:
In order to haul a couple canoes on a 2010 Ford F-250 while also towing a trailer, you'd want to use a roof rack and hitch extender over the hood of the vehicle. I have attached for you below some parts to accomplish this.
Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65049
Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar part # RTL002
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar part # RRVA150B
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRRLKVAH
Custom DK Fit Kit for 2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs part # DK190H
Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack part # MPG112MD (QTY. 2)
If you recall from a previous conversation, ladder racks aren't typically available as half systems and it would difficult to find one with enough height to not only extend over the cab but also so that it matches the height of a roof rack on the cab.
I have attached a photo below of the proposed solution.
