Expert Reply:
We offer a range of roof-mount cargo baskets for your 2008 Ford Expedition EL with factory roof rack, including the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82 that you referenced. This 74- x 48-inch basket will fit your factory crossbars as long as they are between 36- and 60-inches apart, measured on center.
Do note that the largest cargo baskets may prevent full opening of your rear hatch.
A popular accessory item for use with rooftop cargo carriers is a tire step, like # HE4040. This fully-assembled folding step simply slips over a rear tire to provide a height advantage for easier loading and unloading of your cargo, and stores easily inside the vehicle.
