Expert Reply:
My favorite kayak carrier for your situation is the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878. It is a very well made carrier that can be folded down when not in use to reduce the time it takes to use them when you want them. They are designed to fit your already existing cross bars and will be strong enough to meet your 2020 Ford Explorer XT.
Another huge thing is that the carriers will come with all of the straps and anchors to properly secure your kayaks while you are headed down the road.
Check it out in the linked video. It is an awesome carrier!!
