I would be happy to help you. To add a roof rack to your 2018 Ford Expedition's factory raised rails, you will want the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00426
TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y33TR
This roof rack is rated to carry rooftop tents and includes aero shaped crossbars to help reduce wind noise and are better with fuel efficiency. The crossbars also have a t-channel, so they will work with any channel mounted accessories as well as traditional roof rack accessories that clamp the crossbars.
I have linked an installation video below and attached a couple of pictures so you can see what this set up will look like.
If you are looking for a tent, I recommend the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars item # Y07437.
