Sarasota, FL
Kelly took the truck over to Cap World (http://capworld.com) to have the new TracRac and steps installed on the truck. The guys at Cap World are wonderful – they showed us all the options that were available for the TracRac and made recommendations based on our needs. They steered us away from some items that we really didn’t need. The steps will provide an extension to the running boards, so that we can tighten kayak straps more easily….or so we hope.
We love the new TracRac. It’s an improvement over the earlier model we had on the Colorado. This one sits in tracks on the edge of the truck bed; they can be adjusted forward and backward to fit the load. The optional tie-downs will help us secure various loads. The accessories from our old TracRac will fit this one, so we saved quite a bit of money not having to purchase kayak cradles and locks.
The steps were a disappointment, though. Instead of a step, we got a peg. And, they are so narrow that they really don’t give us a very stable reach. We’ll probably still need to buy a step ladder to reach the kayaks from outside the truck. The steps had seemed like such a good idea at the time, but we’re wishing we had skipped them. Maybe they'll work out. We'll keep you posted.
