Question:
Hello, I currently own a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport and I have a rails on either side of the roof that runs only front to back. Will your rod carrier be able to be installed on these rails for a two rod carrier? Thank you Mark Hatin

Hey Mark,
In order for any of our rod carriers to install on your vehicle, you would need to get a crossbar system for your roof. Since your Bronco has the raised rails already I recommend the Yakima # Y42GD roof rack. This kit installs on those raised rails and gives you the mounting points you would need to install a rod carrier.
A good rod carrier option I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Carrier # RR572. This is a 4 rod carrier that installs by clamping around the crossbars and has an included lock to keep those rods secured on your roof.
Where are some of your favorite fishing spots?
