Recommended Roof Rack Setup For 2007 Ford F-150 Super Crew

Question:

Bases/Feet for roof racks. I have a set of Malone rectangular crossbars that I would like to use as part of a roof rack for my 2007 Ford F-150 supercrew. Does Yakima, Thule or someone else make bases that I can use these bars with? The bars are pretty standard I believe, but unfortunately Malone doesnt make bases for my vehicle.

Crossbar towers and feet are not typically interchangeable between brands. Since Malone doesn't make a crossbar kit for your 2007 Ford F-150 Super crew, I do not see a way for you to use the Malone crossbars that you have. While I'm sure this isn't the news you were wanting to hear, I will go ahead and recommend a crossbar setup for you in case you decide to buy a new one.

I recommend looking into the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR79YR. This is a very clean factory-looking system due to the fact that it is a flush design, meaning the crossbars do not extend over the towers at the edge of the roof like most crossbars do. It is also a low-profile aerodynamic crossbar which reduces noise and vibration. This setup has a 165lb weight capacity and has a T-slot channel on top for accessories to be mounted.
