Question:
I am getting a new 2018 Ford Explorer that has the factory roof rails but no cross bars. I want the black Thule cross bars. What do I need to order to get it to attach to the factory roof rails? Please advise.

Expert Reply:
There are two options for your desired black Thule Crossbars on your 2018 Ford Explorer.
Option one is to use the Thule WingBar Evo- 53" # TH711420, Podium Foot Pack # TH460R, Fit Kit # THKIT3151, and locks # TH450400.
Option two is to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7603B-TH7604B along with Fit Kit # THKIT3151, and locks # TH450400. This is a lower profile option with more of a factory look but you won't have as much usable bar space.

I am looking to put a hullivator on my 2018 Ford Explorer. I see I can get a rail system for the roof rack and want to know if I can then put the hullivator on those rails. Thanks Be safe
