Could 59” Rhino Rack Aero Cross Bars Fit on 2017 Ford Explorer
Question:
Rhino Rack fit guides recommends 54” Cross Bars for my 2017 Ford Explorer with flush factory side rails. Wondering if the 59” would be ok? Thule fit guide provides an option for 60” WingBar Evo Cross Bars so seems the 59” Rhino Rack would be ok.

Expert Reply:
Since the track on the underside of the Rhino Rack crossbars does not run the full length of the bar and it is what the feet of the rack attach to we can't guarantee you'd be able to fit the longer bars on your rack. I can say that when we installed the 54 inch rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK on a similar Explorer we found there was several inches further to the inside that the feet of the rack could attach to so I would be inclined to believe that the longer bars part # RRVA150S-2 would fit pretty easily.
