Question:

Hi, I have a 2004 F 250 crew cab truck with a campershell on back. I’m wanting a rack/basket to mount on the naked cab of the truck. I’m wanting to mount a few lights, solar panel and “L”or “U”shaped 4 inch pvc pipe to hold water for showers. What do you recommend that would work and hold the weight? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

Since your 2004 Ford F-250 Crew Cab has a naked roof without side rails, I recommend going with Yakima JetStream Crossbars item # Y00426, along with Towers item # Y28TR, and the BaseClip Fit Kit item # Y79QR. This is an aerodynamic roof rack that has less noise and vibration than other roof rack setups. It features the common T-slot channel on top for accessories to be easily installed. You can also add Locks item # Y07204 to secure the rack to your roof.

To add a cargo basket you will want the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket item # TH859XT. The Thule Canyon is 49" long x 40" wide x 6" tall and has a plenty of capacity at 150 lbs. I have linked our selection of solar panels below for you to take a look at. If you need some help selecting the right one for your needs. Email me back with how many watts you are needing and what you are planning on powering and I will find the right one for you.
