Question:
I have a 2020 Ford Escape. Looking for a way to carry a kayak on the roof. I have a sunroof and factory rails on it already. Suggestions please. Thanks

Hey Steve! Do you have factory flush rails or are you saying you already have a roof rack? If you don't have a roof rack you can add the Inno Aero Roof Rack for Flush Rails # IN24DR. Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # e98878. This is a J-style carrier that is simple and easy to use. It comes with all of the tie-downs and anchors you need and has a capacity of 150 lbs. This will fit the Inno bars or factory crossbars if that is what you have.
