Question:

Ive got a 2013 Ford Expedition with factory raised rails. They currently have the factory aero bars that I am removing in place for a new crossbar kit to hold a rooftop tent. The rails are somewhat tall, ~2.25in and wondered if the Thule Evo raised rail feet would fit. The pocket for the rails looks too small in the pictures. Curious if you are aware of any fitment issues with the factory rails from Ford in the 2013 models.

Yes. The Thule Roof Rack using parts # TH711220 and # TH710401 is a confirmed fit on your 2013 Ford Expedition's factory raised side rails and will work without any issues. We have been able to test these on similar Ford raised rails, so I've attached a video of the installation on a Ford Explorer with similar rails for you to have a look at.

The other option that is also confirmed for your 2013 Expedition is the Thule kit that uses the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, which are what is recommended by Thule and connect via a durable rubber strap to your side rails. I've also linked a video of those being installed on a similar Ford Explorer.
