Question:
Is this roof basket compatible with cross-bars that are curved? I have attached pictures of the roof of my 2018 explorer. If not, can you recommend something I can use? I am also open to changing the sidebars if that can be done. thank you

Expert Reply:
MaxxTow does not perform testing of their cargo baskets on individual vehicles like other manufactures do such as Thule or Yakima. Therefore, if you wanted a roof basket that was a 100% confirmed fit then you would want to look at the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070 or the Thule Canyon XT part # TH859XT which have both been tested on a 2018 Ford Explorer with the factory crossbars.
I have attached a review video on each of these baskets for you as well.
