Bed Rack for Kayaks

Found a rack I really liked to put on for kayaks at what I think is a reasonable price. The only issue is that it says it's for a 2015 5 foot bed and mine is a 2019. Have there been any changes to the bed design? From the pictures it looks like it should work.

 

The two pipes that go into the actual bed near the cab rear window might not work. The 3rd gen bed side is an inch higher than the 2nd gen so those two pipes might be too short. Not sure. That's just a guess based on your picture

Also, my experience with my 12 foot kayak has been that's its better to get the tow hitch extension arm and throw the kayak on that instead of my bed racks. Too much work to get my kayak on top, especially because I like to set up my fishing gear on the kayak before I leave the house.

 

I appreciate the input. Just looking for options other than the extender since I actually need the bed for my recumbent trike.

 

Makes sense.
What is the cost on this rack?

 

The distance from the top of the bed to the mounting rail is different.

 

I got a Thule bed rack and Hull o ports.
Kinda high-up to load though. Keeps me limber ..

It's $319

 

when in doubt cut it out?

 

Tim. Yeah Yakima makes one also. Was just trying to go a little more economical...lol. The Yak one also requires a $90 adapter for the track system...ugh

 

Rola bed racks. Reasonable price, easy on/off and sturdy AF.

Forgot about those..

 

I swear every Taco on the Big Island of Hawaii, and they are ubiquitous, has a Thule rack for surfboards.

However, the Thule and Yakima would be >$800. I like that Rola rack. The price is right.

 

I’d go with the Rola too if your price range is ~300.

I almost bought the Rola but ended up getting the OEM racks with fold-out bars for $200 — I use that for my 75lb double or 50lb single yak when I need the bed for mountain bikes and camping gear.
