  • Best Roof Rack And Cargo Box For A 2019 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheel Base
  • I recommend your the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 with the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and the Fit Kit # THKIT3032. As far as the cargo box goes, I would say get the biggest box you can since you have a lot of room to work with. These boxes can be set in the center of your roof rack or off to the side if you wanted to get an AC roof vent installed. I like the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B because it's HUGE! Giving you 22 cu ft of storage capacity and I like the...

  • Correct Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Channel Nuts for Trailer with Rhino-Rack Factory Roof Tracks Installed
  • I spoke with Rhino-Rack and was able to confirm that both the part # RRQMFK11 (30mmx25mmx5mm) and N057-BP (24mmx21mmx4mm) are compatible with the Rhino Rack Factory Roof Tracks. If you're looking to mount a set of crossbars to these tracks, you'll need a few items which I have attached for you below. Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs part # RRRLT600 (Comes With RRQMFK11) Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA180B-2 If you need a different size crossbar, you can choose this from the list...

  • Can Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75678 Take the Place of the Bumper Beam on a 2013 Ford Transit Connect
  • There are some hitches for other vehicles that effectively take the place of the bumper beam but there are none with that design for the 2013 Ford Transit Connect. Hitch # 75678 cannot take the place of the bumper beam. Ideally you would replace the bumper beam with either a new factory one or a used or aftermarket one that is in good shape.

  • Are Thule Aero Bars Compatible with Rhino Rack XTray Pro Cargo Carrier?
  • Yes! Since the Thule Aero-Bars like part # TH7502B are 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall, they will be able to mount directly to this Rhino Rack X-Tray Pro Cargo Rack # RRRMCB03 without any additional hardware. I love this rack because of the integrated fork mounts/carrier straps to mount bikes and the included wind fairing to reduce wind noise.

  • Availability of a Roof Cargo Basket For 2011 Ford Transit Connect With Fixed Factory Roof Mounts

  • 2015 Ford Transit Connect Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation
  • The Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 is listed as fitting pretty much every spare tire so it should be good to fit your 215/55R16 on your 2015 Ford Transit Connect - Surco doesn't have any specs when it comes to fitment. If you're wanting something that is a little more of a definite fit then I recommend the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO which fits tires up to 12-1/2" wide with up to 4" left or right offset. Your tire is only 8-1/2" wide so we know it is compatible.

  • Can I Use The RockyMount Single Bike Rack With A Swing-Away Hitch Adapter
  • I do have a solution for you, but it will require you to consider a different hitch bike rack. Anytime you add an adapter to your setup, you reduce the maximum tongue weight of that system by 50%. A swing-away hitch attachment is considered an adapter. Unfortunately, you cannot use two adapters in the same system, so you will not be able to use the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # RKY10007. This is because it has an adapter to...

I have linked videos below for both. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534.

  • 2011 Ford Transit Connect Roof Rack And Roof Cargo Basket Compatibility

The lower mounting hole sits 2-3/4" below the upper mounting hole and they are separated 7-3/4" on the same horizontal line.

  • Cargo Carrier on 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van
  • There is a way to figure out if the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150 will allow the rear doors to open on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van. The carrier has a 2-1/2 inch raised shank and measures 6-1/2 inches tall so you will need to measure from the top of the receiver hitch on your van to the bottom of your rear doors; that measurement would need to be more than 9 inches for the doors to clear the height of the carrier.

  • Rhino Rack RR32132 Sun Seeker Awning Compatibility with Rhino Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars
  • It will be compatible, as the Rhino Rack # RR32132 awning is compatible with Rhino Rack crossbars that have the slots in the top of the crossbars. Since the crossbars used by the Rhino Rack heavy duty roof rack you asked about, part # RLZ01-DC has the slots in them, the awning and crossbars will work together perfectly without need of an adapter. I've linked you to a demonstration video for the awning and an install video for the roof rack.

  • Is There a Way To Mount a Rhino-Rack Platform Roof Tray to a 2013 Ford Transit w/ Minimal Height
  • With only having 3.5" of clearance, I am not sure if there is a way to accomplish this. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray # RR52TB is 2" tall by itself, which rules out being able to attach it to a roof rack. This means you would need to use a fit kit. The issue with the fit kit is that according to the manufacturer, the oldest model with a compatible fit kit is the 2014 and newer model years of the Transit which would be the RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms...
