I have the perfect solution for you with the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system. This installs directly to the flush rails on your 2022 Ford Escape and looks really sleek once in place. I especially like the dual rubber strip on the top because it makes installing T-Slot accessories much easier.

Here are the parts that you need:

53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH96RV
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I'd be more than happy to make some additional recommendations!

So you advise getting the 53 inch wide bars for the Thule roof rack kit evo for a 2022 ford escape with bare roof and not the 60 inch wide?I'm just trying to decide on wide 53 or 60? Thanks

@EricT I recommended the 53" bars for Nic because those are what fit a 2002 Escape with the flush rails. Since your Escape has the bare roof you'll need the 60" bars instead. You can get the whole kit with Silver bars as part # TH68KG or the whole kit with Black bars as part # TH92KG. These come with the fit kit, legs, and 60" crosbars.
