Parts Needed to Install Thule Wingbar Crossbars on 2023 Ford Ranger

Question:

I have a Thule wingbar evo 135cm and Thule fit kit 145063 for a ford ranger. The Thule website says I need the Thule evo clamp feet part 710501 to make this system compatible for my 2023 ford ranger. I’m curious if there are any other feet/clamp systems that may be older that would be compatible with the bars and fit kit. Anything like the rapid traverse podiums ect. Or am I required to go with the evo clamp feet? Any help would be great.

Hey Lindsay, there is only one available option that would allow you to use the 135 cm Thule Wingbars part # TH711400 on your 2023 Ford Ranger and that is with the Evo Feet part # TH710501 and the fit kit part # TH145063.

The Rapid feet which were a previous generation would be compatible with the Wingbars since the mounting has remained the same but there was never a fit kit designed to fit your truck from that generation of Thule feet since it wasn't out at the time.
