The T-Bone adds up to 48″ behind the bed and fits standard hitches. Its curved design keeps the boat clear of the ground on steep launches and rough terrain. The 60″ crossbar adjusts from 13.25″ to 19″ above the receiver. Strap to the crossbar, not the plastic ears.

Specs at a glance

  • Weight: 16 lbs
  • Capacity: 300 lbs
  • Height: 13.25″ to 19″ above the receiver

Good to know

  • Strap the kayak to the crossbar only; Boonedox says strapping through the plastic ears can break them.
  • Set the height so the boat sits close to level with your bed or tailgate.

KayakDIY take: The T-Bone is a simple, proven way to carry a long boat in a pickup. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
