Question:
What crossbars do you recommend for my 2021 Ford Escape?
asked by: Dudley
Expert Reply:
When considering crossbars for your 2021 Ford Escape, it really depends on if you have flush factory rails or a bare roof.
If your vehicle has flush factory rails, I recommend the following setup:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" # TH711420
- Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # TH710601
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 6049 # TH96RV
- Thule One-Key Lock Cylinders # TH450400
Apart from being an aerodynamic system, the WingBar Evo Crossbar system is our most popular system. The ability to add one-key lock cylinders for extra security help protect your investment. As far as the weight capacity, you will be able to carry up to 165 with this system. I recommend confirming with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle that much weight.
If your roof has a bare roof, I recommend the following:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" # TH711520
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5258 # TH36RV
- Thule One-Key Lock Cylinders # TH450400
With this setup, you will get the aerodynamic and theft-deterring benefits that are the same as the flush-rail setup. Also, you will be able to carry up to 165 pounds. As before, it is important to confirm with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you can carry that much.
