I like it.(y)
I'm thinking about purchasing something like this to haul my 14' kayak.

After doing a lot of research, this is the one I bought to haul whitewater kayaks.

Did you order this directly from Ford or did you get it from a Yakima dealer?

The reason I ask is because Ford seems to be out of stock but the rack itself looks to be a little bit different (the Yakima lettering is red instead of white).

I ordered it online from REI and had it delivered to my local store for free shipping and pickup. Yakima's website recommends 60" crossbars which are the perfect width for the Maverick.

I have installed my bed rack using an 1/8" thick 2-1/4" wide rubber strip to keep the bases some what level (from McMaster-Carr - High-Strength Multipurpose Neoprene Sheet with Certificate, 12" x 24", 1/8" Thick 70A Hard). If you don't use a shim/spacer the bases will be tilted inward and you won't be able to attach the towers or they will will attach but be in a bind.

I've spent much time going back and forth vs Installing "Roof Rack" rails... I've finally decided to start (next week) with the Roof Rack system (rails, mounts, crossbars) & the Yakima Long Arm for my Hobie Outback (~$1400). This allows me to use my folding tonneau cover that came with the First Edition for now.

Long term goal is to have a bed rack / tonneau combo solution using this Yakima HD rack, but I prefer the metal roll up vs the retractable solution (maintain max bed storage). I figured in time more options will become available.

Love this. Did you buy from ford or direct from Yakima or amazon? thx
I bought mine from REI back when they allowed their 20% Off Coupon to be used on it, but now car racks and bike racks are on the long excluded list :( .

If you put this on the bed, then you cannot put any cover on, right?

Did anyone else have the issue Scooter66 had, needing a spacer to install the Overhaul HD?
Ordered one from REI and wondering if I need to order something to shim it with while I wait?
