Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platforms are the standard by which I judge platforms, so the Rhino-Rack options would be my recommendation. If you have an aftermarket roof rack, you will have two Rhino-Rack options. They are the

Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 48" Long x 38" Wide, part # RR42114BF
Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 58" Long x 47" Wide, part # RR42115BF.

The platform you are interested in will fit your Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars. I have included product description links and a video review links below.

How compatible would this be with a Ford Escape? I too am looking for a similar set up.

@Terrelltornado What year is your Ford Escape Terrell? Also, do you have anything that runs from the front to the rear of the car on the roof, or is the roof naked?

@KateF It is a 2018. I have two bars on top going from the windshield to the back window.

@Terrelltornado thanks for getting that information to me. In that case you will want the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for Raised Side Rails - 59" Long x 49" Wide # RR87CP. The # RR87CP will come with everything you need to get the platform mounted on your 2018 Ford Escape roof with raised rails going from front to back. What do you plan on mainly transporting on the platform rack?

@KateF thank you very much! I’m going to be building a protective guard to go over the windshield for hail protection (I’m a storm chaser). The man who asked the original question used the rack to build the same thing. I was reading his article and it contained a link to this question he asked.
