Roof Rack Kit for a 2015 Ford Escape With a Naked Roof

Question:

One more question, do you have any led light bars that would fit the roof of my 2015 Ford Escape? I haven't had time to measure the width of my roof so I'm not sure exactly the length I can fit.

You have a lot of great options for a 2015 Ford Escape with a bare roof. I recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex kit, consisting of:

Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
Rhino Rack 2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKVA
Rhino Rack Fit Kit 2500, part # DK375

These are a great balance of compatibility, ease of installation and value. Their aero shape is quieter than other crossbar designs and with the included T-Channel, can use some accessories with low profile channel mounts for better performance.

You'll want to go with a light bar that's a little thinner than your crossbar setup so you can use the crossbars as a mounting point. Your vehicle's roof is about 48 inches wide, and the crossbars should have their towers around 46 inches apart. I recommend MaxxTow's Offroad Light Bar, part # MT80634. This is a 41-1/2 inch wide bar with 240 watt output. This includes all of the mounting hardware needed and the wiring harness to power the light bar. I've included a video link so you can see a little more of its features.
