Question:
Would this be a good choice for a mid-sized SUV like a Ford Explorer? Im looking for as much cargo room as possible, but I dont want to use something so large it looks ridiculous. What do yall think?

Expert Reply:
For a 2023 Ford Explorer we have a few different options depending on if your roof has raised rails or is "naked". For your size vehicle a medium size (58" to 60") crossbar is going to be the best size without being too much. I recommend the following components:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA150B-2
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # RRSX100
For a naked roof I recommend the following components:
Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - JetStream Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y99UV
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06154
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06132
I've attached a few review videos to help provide you with a better idea of how both of these systems would look and how to install them.
