Yak Truckers!

Same here, I have an Avalanche that I drop the midgate to slide the Malibu Stealth 12 into easily and strap a couple of bungies to the back. When my Son was here we would put both yaks in the back side by side with no problem.

6 foot bed with a bed extender in the hitch

If going to Baja often, then you might need the 8 foot bed for gear. Carrying two people and gear definately get the 8 foot bed.

I have a extended cab with a short bed and I have found it much easier to utilize the TracRac Contractor racks to carry the kayaks. I use the yakima hully rollers on the rear crossbar to help load and unload the boats. As long as you can get the bow on the rollers it goes up and on the saddles very nicely, without having to lift the entire kayak up on the roof. I have traveled to Baja a few times with kayaks or paddle boards and it is really nice to have the bed space for other gear. I could potentially take 4 people, kayaks and gear with this setup. Hope this helps! Cheers and safe travels!
