As a practical manner I have a standard bed pickup with a 6.5 foot bed and when transporting a 15' long kayak it was too long even with the bed extender with more movement than I would want for a long drive down the highway at speed. Another 12' long kayak of mine was not a problem when transported with the extender.
I now have two 13'5" long kayaks and they go either on the roof rack or on the Yakima trailer for transport. I prefer this approach as I can have my gear locked in the bed of the truck with its fiberglass cap in place and not worry about things getting legs.
