Recommended Roof Rack And Roof Basket For 2015 Ford Transit T350

Question

Question:

I have the 15 passenger transit with the low roof. It has the factory bolt holes to mount a roof rack. The roof length is about 12 feet. Id prefer the basket type but im open to options right now. Im not using it for business. So its not going to be used constantly. Im also looking to mount a light bar on the front of it, so id like the front of it to be close to the front of the vehicle Thanks :

For your 2015 Ford Transit T350, I recommend the 3 crossbar Rhino-Rack System consisting of:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 71" Long - Qty 3 # RRVA180B-3
Rhino-Rack RLTP Legs for Factory Fixed Mounting Points - Bracket Mount - 2" Tall - Qty 6 #RRRLTPFC-3
RLTP Leg Adapters for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Qty 6 # RRVA-FK1-3

If you want the 4 bar system, I recommend the following:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 71" Long - Qty 4 # RRVA180B-4
Rhino-Rack RLTP Legs for Factory Fixed Mounting Points - Bracket Mount - 2" Tall - Qty 8 # RRRLTPFC-4
RLTP Leg Adapters for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Qty 8 # RRVA-FK1-4

For security, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores - Qty 2 # RRVA-LEC2. For a roof basket I recommend the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82. The locks to secure this basket are the Yakima Locking Mount Brackets with SKS Cores for LoadWarrior and MegaWarrior # Y07064
