Question:
Hi. I have a 2021 Ford Ranger. I want a roof rack but want to one with the lowest added height, but that doesnt require drilling into the roof. What is the best option? Thank you very much.

As far as a roof rack with the lowest added height that does not require drilling on your 2021 Ford Ranger with a bare roof, I recommend the following setup:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" # TH711420
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5063 # TH145063
- (Optional for theft deterrence) Thule Same-Key Locks # TH450400
With this setup, you will have an added height of about 4 inches to the top of your crossbar. Also, you will have a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds. In order to make sure that your roof can handle that much weight, I recommend confirming that weight with your owner's manual. After you have the crossbar system installed, you will be able to transport accessories and cargo on your 2021 Ford ranger.
