Expert Reply:
The Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier, # S64720, will work on your 2008 Ford Escape with factory crossbars (side to side) as long as they are no larger than 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall. No other parts would be needed.
If the crossbars are larger, or if you only have the factory rails that run front to back, instead of side to side, you could use the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400. This kit would give you the crossbars needed for attachment of the bike carrier.
I am sending a video link on the Swagman carrier that will show how it works.
