• Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  The Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall so they will work on these bars! If you let me know the year, make and model of your vehicle I can confirm for you which Rhino Rack roof rack will fit and the parts you will need.

  I do have a solution for you but unfortunately there are no adapter kits available to carry your 38" wide canoe. You need to use a different roof rack system or use a canoe carrier.

• Recommended Roof Rack For A 2017 Subaru Forester To Mount A Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent
  Hi Jacob, The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 would work capacity-wise for holding your Thule Tepui rooftop tent, but I've seen the connection between the feet and crossbar on these wear quickly enough that I personally would not use this crossbar for a tent. Once that connection wears down the crossbar can slide side to side on the feet as the weight shifts when making turns and there's no way to fix it. These are good for smaller applications and limited use. If you plan on using...

• Can Replacement Roof Rack be Added to 2018 Infiniti QX60 That Already Has Factory Roof Rack
  There are no aftermarket crossbars that will work on your 2018 Infiniti QX60 that already has a roof rack. The only way to add a roof rack is to have your entire factory roof rack assembly removed - the crossbars and rails - and convert your QX60's roof ro a naked roof. Only if you did that would you be able to utilize a roof rack, and there is one with 54 inch crossbars that would fit a 2018 Infiniti QX60 with a naked roof; the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2.

  Without knowing the length of the crossbars and the weight of the kayaks, I would have some doubts that you're going to be able to carry 4 kayaks on the roof of a 2015 Chevy Traverse-but if you were going to do it the Thule Stacker # TH830 would be the way to go since they don't take up a ton of space. You're going to need roughly 50" (the Stacker takes up about 3" of bar space) of crossbar space to successfully do this. I would also recommend checking your owner's manual to find out the...

• How To Carry a Canoe On a 2016 Ford Explorer
  In order to carry a canoe on a 2016 Ford Explorer you'll first need to start with a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRCH4, and part # RRRCP45-BK is a great cost effective option. In order to secure the canoe, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR is what I recommend as it's one of the very few options which can be locked.

• What Parts do You Recommend to Install the Thule Pulse L # TH615 to My 2018 Ford Explorer?
  If you are looking to install the Thule Pulse L # TH615 on your 2018 Ford Explorer XLT, you will need a crossbar system. If you have factory crossbars or crossbars already installed on your Explorer, the clamps on the Pulse will grasp the bars if your crossbars measure no greater than 3-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" tall. In order to make sure you have the correct dimensions, I recommend measuring your crossbars. If you have flush factory rails without crossbars installed, I recommend the Rhino-Rack...

• Will Rhino Rack Installed on 2018 Ford Explorer Allow Sun/Moon Roof to Open
  With the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK installed on your 2018 Ford Explorer there are no restrictions on opening the sun/moon roof but if you were to do this with the rack installed you most likely find that the wind noise is going to be loud enough you'd want to keep it shut. If you check out the picture I attached you can see there would be plenty of clearance for the roof to open. The picture is a 2018 Explorer like yours with this rack installed...

• Recommended Roof Rack To Mount Roof Top Tent To 2018 Ford Explorer
  I have a solution for you, however, there are not any platform racks that attach to the roof of your 2018 Ford Explorer so you will want to go with a standard crossbar setup. I have not seen any negative feedback from attaching a rooftop tent to crossbars, so rest assured that the tent will not fall off if properly installed. If your Explorer has raised roof rails then you can go with Inno Aero Crossbars Black - 54" # INXB138-2 along with the necessary Feet # INXS350 and Fit Kit # IN28FR....

• Do Yakima and Thule Accessories Fit Rhino-Rack Crossbars
  As long as the crossbar spread is within the range of the Thule or Yakima accessory there will be no issues mounting it to Rhino-Rack crossbars. Most accessories fit round, square, aero, elliptical and factory crossbars. For example, if you added the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK to your 2017 Ford Explorer the # TH615 you looked at would fit the Vortex Aero Crossbars. You would need to make sure that the crossbar spread was 23-5/8" - 34-3/8" which is what...

• Can Thule Artificial RainGutters Be Installed on the Roof of a 2016 Ford Explorer
  I have a solution for you, but you cannot mount the Thule # TH542 on the roof of your vehicle and still have a secure mounting point for the towers of a roof rack. From what I was able to determine, the 2016 Ford Explorer came standard with flush mounted roof rails. For this reason you can use the Rhino Rack # RRRCP45-BK, # RRRCH4 and # RRVA137B-2 to give yourself a complete roof rack for your Explorer.The Rhino Rack is a great option because it provides you with a high quality and durable...

• Can Yakima SkyBox 12 Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack of 2017 Ford Explorer
  The Yakima SkyBox 12 # Y07334 fits more than just the Yakima rack roof racks. It would fit a Rhino Rack roof rack like the # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, # RRRCP45-BK quite well. The Rhino Rack bars are very similar in shape to the Yakima bars.

• Largest Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform that Fits 2016 Ford Explorer
  Rhino Rack doesn't have the larger Pioneer platform trays available for your 2016 Ford Explorer since they don't have any direct mount options using their Backbone system, but they do have universal style Pioneer trays that attach to their crossbar kits for your vehicle part numbers # RRVA137S-2, # RRRCH4, # RRRCP45-BK like with the part # RR42115BF which is 58 inch by 47 inch.

• Recommended Roof Rack for a 2019 Ford Explorer XLT W/ Flush Mounted Rails
  So I can definitely see the concern but the weight rating that you're looking at for our roof racks are going to be the dynamic weight rating, meaning the max weight those bars can handle while in motion. When you're parked the weight rating increases dramatically since the weight won't be moving and will be supported by the axles. With that being said, something like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 with the RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms # RRRCH4...

• Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket Mounting for 2017 Ford Explorer
  The Thule # TH859XT-8591XT Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket is designed to attach to crossbars.

I've linked to an install video showing the basket being installed on a 2018 Ford Explorer.

• Could 59” Rhino Rack Aero Cross Bars Fit on 2017 Ford Explorer
  Since the track on the underside of the Rhino Rack crossbars does not run the full length of the bar and it is what the feet of the rack attach to we can't guarantee you'd be able to fit the longer bars on your rack. I can say that when we installed the 54 inch rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK on a similar Explorer we found there was several inches further to the inside that the feet of the rack could attach to so I would be inclined to believe that the longer...

• Will Rhino Rack Roof Rack RR98VE Work With Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box TH59PN?
  Hello Victor, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are on the right track, because the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RR98VE for the 2018 Ford Explorer will indeed work with the Thule Motion 3 Rooftop Cargo Box # TH59PN. The Rhino roof rack uses an aero crossbar, and the Thule box is made to be universal, so it will work with virtually any crossbar shape or brand. The crossbars must be spaced between 21-13/16" and 36-9/16" inches apart, and the fixed mounting...

• Roof Rack/Kayak Carrier For A 2017 Ford Explorer And A 2014 Subaru Forester
  Good morning, Donna. So, according to Malone, the # MPG217 roof rack does not fit the factory raised side rails on a 2017 Ford Explorer. I would have to offer you a different roof rack for this vehicle like the Rhino Rack # RR98VE. You can use a Malone rack on the factory raised side rails on the 2014 Subaru Forester, but the 65" bars are too long. The longest bar recommended for this vehicle is a 58", the # MPG216. You can definitely carry two kayaks using this setup. The Yakima Sweet...
