Looking for a general purpose heavy-duty combination work and sport truck rack system? Check out the Thule 422XT Xsporter pickup truck rack. The image above shows it being used as a 2005 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner truck rack. It mounts to the pickup truck bed rail track system using the Thule XK1 Adapter Kit. It also locks to the Toyota Tacoma using the included set of locks. No need to buy extra load stops either if you plan to haul ladders, lumber, a canoe and other items because the 422XT includes a set of all-purpose XStops load stops.

2009 Toyota Highlander Kayak Rack for Bell Northstar Canoe

Q: I watched the Malone BigFoot Pro canoe rack video and it looks like a great solution as a factory rack mount canoe rack for that particular Old Towne canoe. I’m concerned with my canoe (32″ wide) there won’t be enough room between the L brackets on my 2009 Toyota Highlander factory rack for my canoe( Bell Northstar 32″)?

A: Yes that is a concern. You do need to measure how wide your factory bars are and compare that to the width of your canoe. Some configurations that have very wide canoes will be too wide , as the L-Brackets widest setting will be limited to the width of your factory crossbars. In your case you would need to install a base rack system such as the Inno INFR roof rack or Thule 450 Crossroad carrack to your 2009 Toyota Highlander roof rack side rails. You can then attach a canoe rack to the base rack crossbars.

Yakima Racks Work on Thule 422XT Xsporter Truck Rack

We have tested and verified that the Yakima universal mounts, that come with Yakima kayak racks and upright mount bike racks, will fit nicely to the Thule Xsporter bars. Great news for anyone with Yakima carriers currently or interested in purchasing these carriers for use on this truck rack.

Installing a Custom Kayak Trailer on Current Cargo Trailer

Q: I already have a multi-purpose cargo trailer (not a kayak specific trailer like the Malone or RackandRoll trailers). My trailer has steel side rails and wondering if I can attach a truck rack or something to these trailer side rails. This would allow me to carry kayaks, canoe, bikes etc. over top of the trailer and free up space for my other gear on the floor of the trailer. Any advice?

A: You can absolutely add truck rack towers to your trailer. Check out this custom kayak trailer setup. This guy simply mounted 2 pairs of Yakima Outdoorsman Towers to his trailer side rails and used a pair of Yakima crossbars. You can then mount any gear carriers to the crossbars!
