Thule stuff lasts forever. My first rack setup I purchased from a guy on Craigslist in 2009. The only reason it is retired now is the new Ranger.

Yesterday's road trip, view of front tethers.

I think by the time you've paid for your rack the prospect of another $800-1100 on a Hullavator is overkill for some boaters, maybe?

Wow, you're all set up for adventure! Nice setup! Regarding the weight, the rack max weight is 200lbs, so two kayaks are about 135-140lbs together and the Hullavator is 40lbs. So I think we're ok with one. Paddling dot com has lot of discussions about using two, and while it's probably ok I'd...

Thank you for mentioning this, I always travel (even the ten minutes down to the launch) with a front line attached to hooks under each side of my hood, and a stern line clipped to the tow box or a hook in the bed.

Thank you! It's been a game changer!

The Xpel is supposedly the best protective film out there. It was relatively inexpensive and very easy to apply.

Here are the parts that fit our Trucks: Thule Evo Clamp Foot Pack Thule Fit kit 145324 (that's the little thing that grips inside your door frame) and the 150cm Evo Square Bar (so I could reuse my older saddles) I bought and applied some XPEL R4003-P Clear Paint Protection Film Roll on the...

I have been a Ranger owner since 2022, but I have always relied on another vehicle for rooftop transport. That vehicle was finally sold in June, and I had to decide how to get my boat to the water and the campsites. My 2024 Ranger with the Bison rollup tonneau is the current truck, and I had...

So after 12 years and 420,000 kms I am retiring my X5 diesel, that has been my kayakmobile all these years. The job is going to my 2024 Ranger. I am really sick of hoisting heavy sea kayaks overhead as is my daughter who is my paddling buddy. How is your roof rack setup going? I will probably...

I cant believe it's just because my back seat passengers are using the wrong buckle!! I'll check this!!

I have searched high and low and all I could find was Thule's system, and the fit kit works ONLY for our Ranger and some obscure 2023 VW. Sad!

Cool, thank you for the answer.

What are you carrying on your rack? I'm worried about putting two sea kayaks up there with the clamp-style towers.

Sorry for the delay answering! I turned off notifications for this site because they were pinging me for the weirdest subjects. Western Quebec gets cold and damp cold. I know you guys in Minnesota suffer plenty, anything in double digits below zero Celsius is enough to fog up our Ranger. I'm...

Hmm, maybe I should wear a mask while driving ?

Has anyone noticed (we are winter up her in Canada) that when you get going in your Ranger in cold weather that the interior of the windshield fogs up pretty quickly unless you actively press the Defrost button? Our 5g didn't do this nor do any of my other cars. It seems like the AUTO setting of...

Not intuitive at all, so I called Ford and then I realized it was fairly easy. I did a video if you’re interested! Sorry the sound didn't work but you'll get it just by watching.

I did a video too!

Yes! Tune to the station you want. Long press on he station YOU DON'T want on your screen. The desired station will replace the unwanted station. It’s so not obvious and yet so simple!
