In fact, you have to put them on yourself when they arrive. They can also be moved from side to side along the cross bars. **Q: Can this carry 2 kayaks on a Ford F150?** A: Probably as much as 4 if you slant them. 2 flat easily. I have 2 of the largest skyboxes on mine. **Q: where do you get the bike racks that fit this? The bike racks I’m seeing only fit up to 3” diameter rails...** A: If you can fabricate a bit you could make any wheel or fork rack work on this rack.. **Q: Roof top tents are 170lbs. this only holds 300lbs. i guess it only works of you have one in the tent that weighs 130lbs or less.** A: Hi. I have my roof top tent mounted on it a worked just fine. Mine is XL with room for 4. I’m over 200 pounds, my wife over 120 pounds and my boy around 40. My guess is the 300lb rating is for dynamic weight. Important for off-road. ## Frequently Bought Together - AA-Racks Model APX2503 83" Full-Size Low Profile Heavy Duty Aluminum Truck Bed Rack for Trucks and Trailers with Open Rails (300lb On Road Capacity) - AA Products Universal Bike Carrier for Trucks SUV Quick-Release Alloy Fork Lock Alloy Bed Roof Mount Rack for 1 Bike - Cross Bars not Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/181176632-model-apx2503-83-full-size-low-profile-heavy-duty-aluminum](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/181176632-model-apx2503-83-full-size-low-profile-heavy-duty-aluminum) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
