Question:

Will this cargo box work with Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid with rails and panographic roof system?? I know the crossbars have to be raised.. are there any other cargo boxes that should be considered in the 8-12 Sq Foot category?

It really comes down to which roof rack you install onto the flush rails on your 2020 Ford Escape since that will determine how high off the roof the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box - 8 cu ft - Gloss Black # INBRA220R-BK will sit.

The most affordable option for a roof rack is the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars. I talked to my contact at Thule and confirmed that these crossbars will sit high enough to allow full functionality of your panoramic roof. The complete roof rack system that you need is as follows: Thule Square Cross Bars - 53" Long # TH712400, Feet # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH96RV.

Now you are all set to install the Inno cargo box. If you wanted to save some money you could look into the Runx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black # TRX44FR, but I think the Inno box is a much higher quality product that looks better and will last longer. I attached a few demonstration videos that you can check out.
