Is There a Roof Rack Option for a 2021 Ford Explorer Without Side Rails

Question:

I bought Ford Explorer ST, which came without roof rack side rails which I understand is the std for ST trim. What option do I have for side rails and cross bars? Thank you.

I do have a roof rack option for a 2021 Ford Explorer but if you don't have the factory raised side rails then the only one available is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B. The SeaSucker is however just as capable as any other roof rack and it is easier to install and remove due to the vacuum cups. The other aftermarket roof rack options for this vehicle all require the raised side rails which is the most popular roof construction.
