Question:
I have a 2004 Ford Explorer that has a factory roof rack, but I do not have the cross bars. Need a cargo bag large enough to store bags for my family of 5. Which cargo bag would best be suited for me.

Rightline cargo bag # RL100S30 is the largest roof mount cargo bag that we carry that can be used on a vehicle that does not have crossbars like your 2004 Ford Explorer. This bag boasts 18 cubic feet of storage space. Take a look at the video link provided showing this bag.
To protect the roof and help keep the bag in place while driving I recommend pad # RL100650. Also you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Ford for the roof weight carrying capacity prior to loading.
