Steel VRS Kayak Rack FAQs
What is a Steel VRS Kayak Rack?
The KB Voodoo Steel VRS Kayak Rack is a truck bed rack designed specifically for carrying kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and other long recreational gear above the bed of a pickup truck. Its elevated design provides the height needed to carry longer boats over the cab while keeping the truck bed available for additional cargo.
Can the Steel VRS Kayak Rack carry a kayak over the truck cab?
Yes. The Steel VRS Kayak Rack is designed to position kayaks and other long gear high enough to extend over the cab of the truck. This makes it a better choice for kayaks and canoes than low-profile truck bed crossbars.
Is the Steel VRS Kayak Rack compatible with tonneau covers?
The Steel VRS Kayak Rack is available in configurations designed to work with many popular tonneau covers. Compatibility depends on the tonneau cover and truck combination, so check the KB Voodoo tonneau cover fitment guide when selecting your rack.
Do I have to drill my truck to install a Steel VRS Kayak Rack?
No. The Steel VRS system is designed for no-drill installation and attaches securely to the truck bed using vehicle-specific mounting hardware.
Can I carry canoes and paddleboards on a Steel VRS Kayak Rack?
Yes. In addition to kayaks, the rack can be used for canoes, paddleboards and other long recreational equipment. Accessories and tie-down methods should be selected for the particular type of gear being carried.
Can I use kayak carriers such as J-cradles on the VRS rack?
Yes. The crossbars provide mounting locations for many common kayak carriers and accessories, allowing you to configure the rack for your preferred method of transporting kayaks.
What trucks does the Steel VRS Kayak Rack fit?
Steel VRS Kayak Racks are available for many popular midsize and full-size pickup trucks. Select your truck from the available options on the product page to ensure you receive the correct mounting configuration.
Why use a truck bed kayak rack instead of carrying a kayak in the bed?
A truck bed kayak rack allows long kayaks to be carried securely above the bed and cab instead of extending far beyond the tailgate. It also preserves valuable bed space for coolers, camping equipment, fishing gear, bicycles and other cargo.
