Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack that Fits 2017 Ford Escape and 2009 Saturn Vue

Question

Question:

I am trying to find a roof rack - like the Malone Airflow 2 - that will fit my 2017 Ford Escape as well as my 2009 Saturn Vue - both have factory installed side rails. Your website says that the Airflow 2 will for the Escape, but the Malone site says the side rails are too low for this rack. Can you confirm it the Malone Airflow 2 will fit both of these vehicles. If not - can you suggest a rack that is similar to this one that will work on both vehicles. Thanks

For both your 2017 Ford Escape as well as 2009 Saturn Vue that has raised factory side rails the Malone AirFlow 2 roof rack part # MPG215 is a confirmed fit. This is a really great and economically priced solution that fits both vehicles. I attached an install video link to this page that shows this rack installed on a similar 2018 Escape.

Yes, the 165lb rating for the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack #MPG215 is the dynamic(driving) capacity for these. Since the tent weighs 165lbs and the roof rack is 10 you are still just under the 176lb capacity of the roof rails on your 2019 Subaru…
