How To Carry a Canoe On a 2016 Ford Explorer
Question:
I have a 2016 Ford Explorer and I am looking for a canoe rack system that will fit flush rails. Basically need mounting tower and crossbars. Can you help me with this?

In order to carry a canoe on a 2016 Ford Explorer you'll first need to start with a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRCH4, and part # RRRCP45-BK is a great cost effective option. In order to secure the canoe, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR is what I recommend as it's one of the very few options which can be locked.
