    I'm in the middle of the exact same search...except i have a 2014 with a camper shell...but I want a cab mounted rack

    The best option I've found so far is Prinsu Designs...they're a vendor here, and will cost you a pretty penny...but they seem like a great option

    Personally I would look at a rack that has available Kayak carrying accessories. Either a Thule or Yakima

    Thule and Yakima require clamps in the door frames...which I'm opposed to personally

    Just type in prinsu designs on google. Click on 2nd generation and select Cabrac. It starts out at $475....
    I got mine on the group buy and its worth every penny (Ive had 2 kayaks on there several times already)
