Roof Rack Fit for 2017 Ford Transit T250

Question

Question:

Just a couple of quick questions: I want to confirm that this works on a 2017 Ford Transit I plan on using this to mount 2 180w Grape Solar panels, roughly 58.5 inch x 26.5inch and would like to make sure that will be an option. Thank you.

I will happily confirm that yes, the Rhino Rack Roof Rack you referenced, parts # RRVA180B-3, # RRRLTPFC-3, and # RRVA-FK1-3 will fit your 2017 Ford Transit T250; the legs will simply fit into the mounting points on the roof of the Transit.

Using a roof rack to mount a solar panel is a popular application; the accompanying photo shows a photo one of our customers took using this roof rack for his solar panel.
