Mike- I'm not sure how long your kayak is, but I use a Fulton Canoe Caddy
rack which mounts in the hitch receiver on my Toyota Tundra. I now carry my
Impex Assateague with this truck, putting the stern on the hitch rack, and
the bow on a Thule rack mounted on the roof of the cab. If you want
something which mounts lower in the truck, you might look at the Cabela's
website. I think they have a piece which mounts in the hitch receiver, but
extends back a few feet, possibly suitable for carrying lumber, plywood, and
even a kayak.

I have s Ford Ranger pickup and am looking for a rack that will plug into my
hitch and allow me to haul a OCEAN kayak Frenzy single with the stern
resting
on the rack in the hitch receiver and the bow in the truck bed. I saw one in
J.C. Whitney's, but would like to know if there are others along the same
design....any
comments/assistance deeply appreciated.
