Question:
I am considering purchase of a Ford Maverick. To carry the occasional long board, pipe, or maybe a canoe, as the bed is so short, I dont see the need to have two roof racks and two bed racks. One of each would be adequate. If is possible to buy just single racks ?

Hey Eddie, you could technically just buy a single replacement bar but you'd also need the clamp feet # TH710501 and the fit kit # TH38ZE. These kits are not available singularly so you'd have to buy the whole kit, which at that point, you might as well get both cross bars with # TH42KG.
As far as a single ladder rack goes, there is nothing like that available so your only option would be a complete kit with the Flint Hill Goods Aluminum Pickup Truck Ladder Rack # FHG64ZR.
Also, since you mention carrying the occasional canoe and whatnot you're also going to need a canoe carrier with the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, Canoe, and SUP Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MAL38FR.

Hey Eddie, how did things work out with the Thule roof rack setup for your Maverick? Were you able to get the single crossbar arrangement you wanted for carrying your canoe and longer gear? Your update could make it easier for others looking for a similar setup.
