Default Thule Rack

I have access to a Thule 422XT truck rack, the type that clamps to the bed rails of a pickup. I had it on a Toyota T100 several years ago and really liked it. Has anyone used it or a silmilar rack on a 2015-2016 F150? I'd like to see a photo.
This rack is at my son's house in another state, but I plan on picking it up soon.
I think the aluminum finish will look great on my Blue Flame F150.

I know the type you're talking about and I agree it would look killer on your blue rig; especially if you've got it raised a little!

I've been tempted to put one of those on, too - for surfboards. But, it wouldn't really make things easier for me as I'd then have to climb to mount and remove them versus simply tossing them in the back and a quick single tie down. Besides - I personally think boards just sticking out of tbe bed looks more classic! If I were into paddle boarding or had a kayak etc., I'd likely put on one, though. You see them on lots of trucks in Hawaii.

What would you use this rack for?

Canoes and kayaks....Thule has a wide variety of loaders and supports that enable you to load without having to get in the bed.
I foolishly replaced a T100 with a Ridgeline and haven't been able to use the rack for the past 2 1/2 years. I'll be getting it back in a few days.
