Q: I’m looking for a rack system for my Dodge Sprinter Van.
A: We had great luck with the Yakima Control Tower System ( you need two boxes of Landing Pad 1 and you’ll have to pick the appropriate bar length to span across the van from track to track), and once this is on you can use the Yakima Megawarrior and for a bit more room add in the Megawarrior Extension . The picture of the Sprinter Van on our site is a local ski school and they wanted maximum strength and size, so they went with enough Control Towers to give 5 bars, and I believe they used a Megawarrior with 3 or 4 extensions. If you stick with one CT system, one MW and one MW Ext. you are looking at about $732 (at the time of this posting).

Terrific shot of a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck kayak rack system with Yakima Q-Tower Half Pack System (Yakima Q-Tower Half Pack, Yakima Q118 Q-Clips, Yakima 66" crossbar) and Yakima DryDock hitch mounted rack with Yakima 66" bar and Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers and Yakima Mako Saddles combo.
This customer needed to carry his kayak on his 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 and he has suceeded with flying colors. For longer loads such as kayaks, canoes, and lumber, it’s best to achieve maximum crossbar spread between the front and rear crossbars, and this system allows that. For the front crossbar on the truck cab, he has installed the Yakima Q-Tower Half pack system which is made up of a Yakima Q-Tower Half pack, one set of Yakima Q 118 Q clips, and a single Yakima 66″ roundbar. For the rear crossbar, he is utilizing his receiver hitch and has installed a Yakima DryDock rack matched up with another single Yakima 66″ crossbar. For supporting the kayak, he has a pair of Yakima HullyRollers on the rear crossbar for easy loading and unloading, and on the front crossbar he has a set of Yakima Mako saddles. The truck bed remains empty for loading up all his gear. Great job!
