I would like to get a used pickup to haul my kayak, but it seems like a pain to figure out an effective way to haul the boat on a PU. How do you do it? I've seen ads in Canoe & Kayak for a set of rails that fold down? Has anyone out there tried that set-up? Do any of you kayakers that use a PU have a recommendation as to the best way to haul a closed deck glass kayak on a PU. Seems like most later model PU's don't have rain gutters, so attaching a Yakima or similar rack to the cab does not look too inviting. Any recommendations as to an ideal model of PU for yak hauling?
