Yakima roof rack (for kayaks) installed on Maverick

[gte105u]

Did you look at the link I posted? TS rails, X15 Pro Tonneau and less expensive Rack.

Looks like system you linked is. More is more. Pricing it out is over $1780. The system I described is more like $1500 ($180+700+580).

I'm giving another option that is less. What did I miss?

I bought that combination a little over a year ago for $1,200. So it’s has obviously had several price changes.

I’m all in on Kayak carriers.

I want a pic after he gets all 7 loaded!

Does anyone have pictures of a 17 foot kayak mounted on your Maverick? I have the bed racks and I'm thinking of getting some roof racks or a hitch mounted rack like the Yakima LongArm.

No inflatables, But I did only carry 4 of them on the Maverick. The racks would allow for up to 6 though.

The longest boat I have is 15.5 ft Cape Horn.

What kind of kayak mounts are you using on your bed racks? Is your setup pretty stable on highway speeds and how much lower did the MPG take a hit? Did you need help putting your kayak on the bed rack?

See post #7 in this thread. It is absolutely stable and rides like it’s not even there. The best I can tell it’s a drag of about 2mpg. No, I load and unload without help. The trucks low profile makes it easy to load the nose of the yak and then lift the tail to slide into place.

In this pic I do not have kayak supports on the rails. In the pic below I have it strapped to them.

Sup y’all! Just attached a roof rack for some kayaks. I used the following products from Yakima.

Yakima Corebar
Yakima Baseline Towers
Baseline Clips size 180

keep it versatile homies!

Sorry man, it seems I may have hijacked your thread. Didn’t mean to.

I used roof top carrier's for years, all did damage the paint as least a little.
Due to the short bed on the Maverick, I used a extender for longer trips, and for local lakes I just tie them in and let them over hang the tailgate.

How are you liking the roll up tonneau cover?

Love it, keeps out almost all the water, very secure, was almost a grand thought

After years of dealing with roof racks I finally converted a jet ski trailer to haul four kayaks on V-racks. Life is good.
