Will the kayak fit in the truck bed?

With the tailgate down, a truck is the most practical way to move a kayak. Unfortunately, the tailgate must be flipped up for most boats to fit in the bed.

How far apart should kayak racks be?

Most kayak carriers need a crossbar spread of at least 24 inches. Therefore, it is advised to have at least 24 inches for a spread, or on the safe side, space them out to be about 28 inches apart.

Should a kayak be transported upside down?

Transporting composite kayaks in cradles on their bottom is the only way to transport them without causing any damage to the kayak.

Should the heavier person be in the front or back of the kayak?

The kayak's rear is where the steering is controlled from. Because of this, the kayak's stern should include the more skilled paddler or more coordinated person. Putting the heavier paddler in the back of the kayak is also preferable when there are only two paddlers.

Is there such thing as a 2 kayak rack for truck?

Yes, most truck kayak racks can handle two kayaks at a time, as long as the dimensions of your kayaks fit. Weight wise a roof rack and a bed rack will normally be able to handle over 180 lbs load rating when the vehicle is in motion. Some racks even more. Therefore, one could argue there can even be a 3 kayak rack for truck.
