It sounds like you are looking for a roof rack with 64 inch long crossbars. We may have a solution for you, but before you make a purchase, we will want to make sure it is okay to mount 64 inch crossbars on your 2010 Ford Edge. Some states require that your roof rack crossbars be shorter than the widest part of your vehicle. To measure the width of your vehicle, you can measure the distance between your side-view mirrors.

According to Yakima, the recommended crossbar length for your vehicle is 48 inches, but Yakima does offer 66 inch crossbars that will work with this roof rack.

If you determine that the 66 inch crossbars will fit on your vehicle, you can purchase the 66 inch crossbars, # Y00410, Baseline Towers # Y28TR, Round Bar Adapter # Y03536, and the BaseClips # Y06180. This is everything that you will need to install a roof rack on your vehicle. The round crossbars can be cut to desired length and are compatible with most roof mounted accessories from many brands.
