I have been contemplating on what type of roof rack make/model to use on the roof. I do have a DECKED system and also have Yakima BedRock on/in the bed, but it appear this is still not enough cargo...for us (YMMV). So I'm asking folks here to tell me what have they use/used and what they like and didn't like? We have a trailer but we do tend to do a lot of day and overnight trips and don't need said trailer so we want to still bring the kitchen so to speak lol. The roof looks like a wasted space that can be used so any insight is much appreciated. Just a quick note that we have a 2017 SCREW XLT w/ #2541 payload (yes, it came w HDP). Thank you all in advance!

p.s. Yes I have used the search function but it appears my search-foo is not good as my google-foo

Thanks, I'll try to do more research on this forum. So much options to choose from but my #1 must 'not' haves is to do any drilling on the roof. The more I think about this the more I prefer the xbars over permanent mounts for the ability to interchange different kinds of accessories for different trips i.e. bikes, racks, cargo box, etc.

I have spent an obsessive amount of time googling and have found that the F150 is devoid of aftermarket support for what you are asking. The only company I have found that I'm interested in is Nuthouse. They just posted on facebook they have completed design and fab of their first f150 expedition bed rack but they haven't posted anything since november.

I tried googling roof rack options and found nothing more than the standard yakima/thule stuff. I gave up and have started designing my own bed rack/expedition setup in hopes of getting it quoted to see what it will cost me to build.

I went with an INNO rack for mine. Easy on and off. Less than 5 minutes Price was right. I'd go for a more aerodynamic one if I was going to leave it on full time. There was significant amount more wind noise with it. But I only use this 2 to 3 times a year to move my kayak.
