• Cost Effective Roof Rack System for a 2007 Ford Five Hundred
• I do have an option for you but none of the roof rack systems we have for your 2007 Ford Five Hundred come with just one crossbar.

This system is also our most cost effective option we have for your vehicle at this time.

If you have a 1-1/4 hitch opening on your Ford 500, I would consider upgrading your hitch to a 2-inch receiver opening like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75299, which will work well with a cargo carrier and scooter.
