Question:

Expert Reply:
The options for rooftop cargo baskets like the Surco # SPS5084-1101 for your 2003 Ford Excursion will depend on the nature of the roof. Some baskets like this Surco can attach to roof side rails alone and do NOT require that the vehicle have crossbars that run side-to-side. Other cargo baskets like the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 do require a full-on roof rack in order to mount.
The linked page will show you all extra-large rooftop cargo baskets from Rhino-Rack, Surco and Yakima. You can use the filters on the page to select your type of roof crossbar, such as round, square or aero, or you can select factory tracks. The Surco basket # SPS5084-1101 was intended for vehicles that have raised side rails on the roof.
Things to keep in mind are that the vehicle total roof weight capacity (which should be noted in your owner's manual) must be enough for the weight of the basket you choose and the weight of the cargo you load. You want to choose a basket large enough for your needs but not so large that you cannot fully make use of its capacity. You also want to note that some very large cargo baskets may not allow full opening of the rear hatch. The linked article will be helpful to you as you consider your best choice in a rooftop carrier.
Please feel free to let me know the type of roof on your Excursion (bare roof with nothing, factory tracks or tracks with crossbars) and I can offer you suggestions for your vehicle.
