Question:
I am looking for skis and camping storage and was looking at the Thule Force XT. Can I install the Force XT cargo box directly on to my factory cross arms?

Yes, the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6358B will attach directly to the factory crossbars on your 2017 Ford Escape. You just need to make sure the bar spread can be adjusted to between 23-5/8" - 35-1/2" on center. You don't need to purchase anything else to make the Thule Force XT work for you.
I have attached a review video for you if you would like to check out some of its features. As you can see, it's super simple to install and secure to the crossbars. The integrated load straps are also very handy. This will be a perfect option to transport your skis and other cargo.
