Recommended Roof Rack for Carrying a Bike on a 2019 Ford Expedition
Question:
What roof rack do you recommend for my 2019 Expedition? Needing to carry some bikes on the roof since we are already towing a trailer with the trailer hitch.

Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system for your 2019 Ford Expedition because the JetStream bars are more versatile than other crossbars and they don't require any modification to the rubber strip when using accessories.
The parts that you need to install this system on your 2019 Expedition are the 60" JetStream Bars # Y00426 , and the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. These easily install on the OEM raised rails of your Expedition and can be locked for security with the SKS Lock Core Kit # Y07204.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Yakima HighRoad # Y02114 because it is compatible with any bike frame style that doesn't have a fender, doesn't require you to remove the front wheel, and is able to lock to your roof rack within the T-Slots. To utilize the T-Slots of your JetStream bars you do need the SmarT-slot Kit # Y02122 and it you want to lock this rack with the same key as your roof rack you would need the SKS Lock Core Kit # Y07206 instead.
