Roof Rack Compatible ?
Looking at the roof of my '19 without a sunroof, it seems like the black plastic covers might conceal mounting points for roof rails/baskets. Anyone have experience with that?

I was looking at the M-Rack roof rack made by KC Hilites and found out it is installed using nutsert.

Looking at Yakima as well. Have on on my 05 Dmax Leer Camper shell and love it. Do you suppose a 12' kayak would work and still allow 5th Wheel towing with the F350 CC LB? Of course it would have to be moved forward.
Question answered: 13' from front bumper to rear of cab. I figure a Yakima like the one pictured + a front receiver to use as a tie off point and a 12' 50lb-ish fishing kayak should be fine. Might not even need the front receiver.

Could you give me the P/N M/N for that Yakima please? And where you got it? Is yours the oval crossbars? I prefer the round bars since I already have the crossbars but might be a challenge finding a kit w/o crossbars.

If you're going to add a front receiver, something like THIS might be a consideration.

might be just fine. I'm thinking I won't need a front receiver at all and maybe not even a strap to the front of the truck. Carried a big canoe on my camper shell for years just strapping to the cross bars and had no issues at highway speeds, etc.
Thanks for the help, tho'. I have 'til next summer to make this happen.
