Looking at adding a roof rack for a cargo container and transporting kayaks. Had a Yakima system on last explorer and was not pleased - complicated and unreliable. Can anyone recommend a rack system? Thanks in advance
I bought the Ford cross bars and I'm not very happy with them. They are plain metal and the cargo topper I borrowed slipped around on them. Be sure that the system you buy will hold solid.
The Thule AeroBlade is a great crossbar - fits well if you get the right ones. And they look sharp.
You'd need a different width in the front than you do in the back.
It took me a while or figure it out but ended up buying two different sizes from Thule that worked perfectly.
Currently selling a complete set Incl conversion kit/brackets, locks/keys etc on eBay - just search for item # 203947299873
