OEM Ford Roof Racks

A Roof Rack: 4 Reasons Your Ford Needs One

The most obvious: if you're driving a car that isn't rated for towing, like Ford Fusion, and you find yourself cramming your trunk, back seats, and even the front passenger side full of baggage, wherever you can fit it. A roof rack (one with a good crossbar system) can definitely make some more room, in that case.

Just look at the 2020 Ford Fusion, for instance. It's got only 102.8 cubic feet of interior space; that only accounts for people, and most of it isn't really usable -- just imagine trying to peer over and around luggage piled up past the A- and B-pillars practically to the roofline, checking your blind spots and rearview for every other car on the SR-167 around Kent. Not something you want to be doing up closer to Seattle, that's for sure.

At any rate, there's still three other reasons having a roof rack is worth it.

They're more durable than a bare roof -- and better than one damaged by heavy cargo.
These days, roof racks have eschewed wood for ruggeder metals such as steel or aluminum. Factor in those crossbars, and a roof rack can not only handle cargo weight but also distribute it better and more evenly (especially in the case of aluminum, the lighter and stronger of the two options, and a great one for shouldering everything from suitcases to camping equipment). Put simply, one can help make sure you're not denting your roof with all that gear -- or worse, caving it in on the highway.

They're better at securing luggage than bungee cords run through power windows and a prayer.
This is because roof racks provide anchor points galore for tie-downs, making securing your luggage to them (and not to the buddy in the back seat helping you move) a matter of course. Many rail systems can even double as kayak racks or bike racks, making them ideal for outdoor recreation. Select models even incorporate locks to help stop theft. (Talk about securing luggage.)

Installing one is a lot easier than you think.
Gone are the days of needing to have a PhD in civil engineering just to be able to make sense of an installation diagram. In most cases, all you have to do to put together a roof rack is combine some modular towers and feet. The fitting kit you need for the job is almost always included.

So, which roof rack is best for your Ford? That depends. Some of Ford cars have them, as do most of the brand's crossover SUVs, but many Ford coupes and sports cars, for instance, don't. If your ride supports one, the answer's straightforward: the genuine article.

We've got just what you need. It's OEM, guaranteed to fit, and best of all, affordable -- a lot of roof racks we sell are steeply discounted.
