Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, your 2016 Ford Explorer with factory crossbars is absolutely compatible with the Malone kayak carrier you asked about:

- Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD

The SeaWing will clamp easily around your Explorer's crossbars, and your crossbars also have the correct spacing to allow the SeaWing to fit, so this will be a great option for a kayak carrier. The only other thing you may want is a load assist to help get your kayaks up and easily loaded onto the SeaWing, and there is one specially designed for use with this carrier:

- Stinger Load Assist for Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG350

The Stinger Load Assist mounts directly to the SeaWing and uses a "V" that slides out backwards towards the rear of your Explorer so you can simply push your kayak up and onto the carrier with ease.
