Many configurations are designed to work with popular tonneau covers, allowing you to carry your gear overhead while maintaining access to covered storage in the bed.

Truck Kayak Rack FAQ

Will a truck kayak rack work with a tonneau cover?

Yes. KB Voodoo VRS truck kayak racks are designed to work with many popular tonneau covers. Compatibility depends on the truck, tonneau cover, and rack configuration, so check the VRS Tonneau Cover Fitment Guide or contact us if you are unsure about your setup.

Should I choose an 18-inch or 22-inch kayak rack?

The best height depends on your truck and how much clearance you need for your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. Both 18" and 22" VRS rack heights are designed for carrying watercraft above the truck bed. If you are unsure which height is best for your truck and gear, contact us for a recommendation.

Should I choose a steel or aluminum truck kayak rack?

Both VRS versions provide a strong platform for carrying kayaks and other watercraft. Steel is the heavier-duty option, while aluminum reduces rack weight and is easier to install and remove. Choose the material that best fits how you use your truck.

Can these racks carry canoes and paddleboards too?

Yes. KB Voodoo truck kayak racks can also be used to carry canoes and paddleboards. The elevated rack design positions longer watercraft above the truck bed and provides crossbars for mounting appropriate carriers, pads, or tie-down equipment.
