This 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Bike and Canoe Rack easily transports one canoe and two bicycles using: for the roof, the Yakima Railgrab roof rail system which attaches to the 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Track factory side rails, and the Yakima Gunwale Brackets Canoe Carrier. The Tonneau cover bike rack uses the Yakima Control Tower base rack with two pairs of the Yakima Landing Pad 6 and two Yakima High Roller Bike Racks.

This is how you do it folks.  This is a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac canoe roof rack and Tonneau cover bike rack using all Yakima racks.  Mounted to the ’10 Ford Explorer factory side rails is the Yakima RailGrab rail rack system with Yakima 48″ round crossbars.  Attached to the roundbars is the Yakima Gunwale Brackets canoe rack, which comes with the necessary straps and tie downs.  On the 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Track Tonneau cover is the Yakima Control Tower base sytem attached to the tonno cover using two sets of the Yakima Landing Pad 6 Permanent Landing Pads for tonneau covers, camper shells, etc. Mounted to the yakima 48″ crossbars are two Yakima Highroller bike racks.  If my math is correct, a Yakima SKS 8 Lock Pack would lock down the two Yakima base rack systems and the two Yakima bike racks, and all with one Yakima SKS key.

Top notch pic of a Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab pickup with Leer Cap using the Thule-Dewalt 342 Truck Rack System.

This is a great shot of the Thule – Dewalt 342 Truck Rack System for aluminum and fiberglass caps doing what it does best: carrying stuff on the roof of a Leer cap attached to an ‘08 Toyota Tacoma pickup.   The system uses four mounting points that are installed permanently, and the feet that support the crossbars can easily be removed and installed into those points as needed.  The System comes with four Load Stops, which you can see doing a great job supporting this ladder, but which also do a great job with canoes, lumber, and any other long, heavy loads.

2005 Toyota Quad Cab pickup truck rack for carrying a canoe. Using the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack System on the cab roof and hitch t-mast on the rear trailer hitch for transporting the canoe.

Harnessing the power of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck canoe rack to transport a full length canoe is executed efficiently with the Yakima Q Tower complete roof rack system using Yakima Q127 clips and Yakima Q128 clips (Q clips specific to this vehicle) and a Hitch Rack T-Mast to hold up the end of the canoe.  We couldn’t zoom in enough to see what this 2005 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck was using for a T-Mast hitch rack but if you ask me I’d tell you that the Yakima DryDock Hitch Canoe and Kayak Rack is the way to go. Don’t forget a 4 pack of Yakima locks and keys to lock the Q towers to the 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4 door cab top.

more information on how you might haul a canoe on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma truck canoe rack.

This ORS Racks Direct demonstration video highlights the Yakima Q Tower Half Pack roof rack system, a single cross bar roof rack set up that is most often used in combination with a trailer hitch mount T-bar style hitch rack for hauling very long gear and equipment such as rowing sculls, canoes, lumber, ladders etc. The Yakima Q Towers Half Pack video shows the Yakima Q Towers Half Pack system used in combination with the Yakima DryDock T-bar hitch rack.

An excellent solution for transporting long equpiment and gear, such as a canoe, extra-long kayaks, rowing shell, lumber, ladders and more, is to mount the Yakima DryDock T-bar hitch mast to any 2 inch trailer hitch receiver combined with a half pack roof rack system used on the front of the vehicle (in this video the Yakima Q Towers Half Pack roof rack is mounted to the pickup truck cab roof). Video includes a demonstration of how the 8002589 Yakima Dry Dock mounts to any 2″ trailer hitch, offers a broad range of height adjustability. Cross bar sold separately to allow for the selection of the cross bar length that suits your needs. The very long items you are hauling, such as canoe, kayaks, ladders, lumber etc., can then span between the front half pack roof rack crossbar and the rear Yakima DryDock crossbar.

Great shot of a 2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab using the Yakima Q-Tower Half Pack Base Rack System paired up with the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Compact Truck Bed Rack using a single Yakima 58″ crossbar.  This combo is ideal for truck drivin’ folks who need adequate bar spread to carry canoes, lumber, ladders and other similar longer loads.  The Yakima Q-Tower single bar system uses the rear mounted crossbar position and is held on with a pair of Yakima Q62 Q-Clips and supports a single Yakima 48″ roundbar.
