Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2007 Ford E-350 Super Duty Van

Expert Reply:

First, you will need to have a roof rack that has crossbars that run side to side on your 2007 Ford E-350 van if you do not already. If you need to add a roof rack, use the following parts:

Load bars, # THLB65
Rain Gutter feet, # TH387

You can then use the Thule Mother of all baskets, # TH690. And, if you wanted to go bigger, add the extension, # TH691XT. This will make the overall length of the basket 64 inches. The MOAB is a well constructed and sturdy roof mount basket. The capacity of the basket is limited by the capacity of the roof rack, 165 pounds. Consult the owners manual for the van for the roof carrying capacity.

If you need a higher capacity, you can use the Rhino-Rack roof rack using crossbars, # RB1800, and 2 sets of feet # RL150S10. This rack as a 220 pound capacity. If the roof is rated lower you must go by the lower rating. You can then go with the Rhino-Rack basket, # AT1512-HK35. It is made of structural-grade aluminum and glass-reinforced nylon.
