I’m looking for a roof rack for our 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, short bed. My wife and I have Hobie Mirage kayaks. They are 12’ or 13’ long and around 70 lbs each.
My wife bought a goalpost-style bed extender, but with the kayaks in the bed, they stick out very far. So we are thinking of getting a roof rack to transport them, either with double kayak cradles, or with them mounted on the rack at the front half, with the raised goalpost extender supporting them from the back.
Note that we are looking to take the truck camping, so a roof rack system that is versatile enough to work for other outdoor uses as well would be a plus.
Would the Toyota OEM accessory roof rack work for either or both methods?
ARE there better choices?
Any advice or experience you can impart is appreciated.
