Recommended Roof Rack for 2016 Ford Expedition
Question:
we have an xcargo sport sv 20 luggage carrier from our old Ford Expedition - we now have a 2016 Ford Expedition and need a cross bar kit that will fit the car and the carrier - can you recommend the correct one? thanks

The roof rack I recommend for your 2016 Ford Expedition is from Yakima because it will give your SUV a roof rack that is highly effective, quiet, and has a refined look.
This roof rack is made up of:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR
The JetStream crossbars will look graceful atop your '16 Expedition due to the aerodynamic shape of the bars. The aero shape of these bars, along with their built-in WindRidges, is also what ensures that this roof rack minimizes the wind noise that other types of crossbars can create.
The JetStream crossbars are extremely functional and durable due to their anodized aluminum construction, which not only provides them with optimal strength but also ensures they are resistant to corrosion. These crossbars have T-slots which allow you to use channel-mounted accessories; the T-slots have rubber "SmartFill" strips in them which means you are not going to have to cut them to mount accessories, you can simply push the strips in to use the T-slots.
I do recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) locks # Y07204 to lock the rack and help protect your investment; I have added links to video reviews of the roof rack and locks for you to take a look at as well as a photo of this rack on a 2016 Expedition for you to check out.
