I pull my 17RD Starcraft Travel Trailer with two 12 foot Kayaks on a Thule Roof Rack system with my 2014 F-150 FX4. I have traveled all the way from MA to Prince Edward Island then Cape Bretton Nova Scotia with no problem.

Not sure whether you already have the kayak? If not, look at inflatables. Sevylor has some nice tandems.

Have you had any concerns or noticed any paint or body damage to your roof. That has been my concern. My last truck had rain gutters and the attachment was much better.

Why not just put them in the bed and ratchet strap? I'm amazed at what can be done with good
straps and a little ingenuity!!
