What Q-Towers Do I Need for a Yakima Roof Rack on a 2015 Ford Taurus?

Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you. I spoke with my contact at Yakima, and she confirmed that the Yakima Q Towers were discontinued in 2016. They were replaced by the Yakima Baseline towers. The Q-clips that you have will only work with the discontinued towers.

With that being said, there are still roof rack systems available with the newer Baseline towers for your 2015 Ford Taurus with a bare roof. For that roof rack system, I recommend the following parts:

- Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00422
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4 # Y06196
- (Optional for extra security) Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

With the above roof rack system, you will be able to transport accessories and cargo on your 2015 Ford Taurus.
