Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2023I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra money for one of the big name roof racks. I searched for some time and ran across this Ford OEM set for 1/3 the price. These fit nicely right out of the box and sit low to the roof unlike the aftermarket cross bars that sit quite a bit higher. Installation took about 30 minutes using supplied TORX wrench and bolts. The bolts came with thread lock already installed so no need to worry about the bolts backing out on a long road trip. Just make sure you tighten the bolts all the way down to prevent rattling because the thread lock will make it feel like the bolts are seated. The cross bars are sturdy and there is no free play. Wind noise is negligible and there was no rattling at speeds up to 65 MPH. I would highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021First and foremost, perfect fit on 2019 Explorer Sport. After reading the reviews, I was proactive and bought a second thumbwheel kit. Doing so makes for additional attachment points and eliminates any exposed metal (bolts or rail). Installation was a breeze. In case anyone was wondering, like I was, here's an answer to the question, "Am I supposed to tighten the bolt on the underside of the rails?". I was pretty sure the answer was NO, but wanted some sort of confirmation. Could not find one anywhere, not in the instructions, not in the manual, not on YouTube, nowhere. My first clue that you don't do anything with the "loose side" was the bolt accepts a different size torx tool. Second, when both sides are tightened down, there is NO movement with the bars. So to answer the question, you are not supposed to tighten them down. Sorry for the rant. Bars are great, works perfectly with a Thule Atlantis cargo box (use positions 1-2 and 3-4 or front & middle). Great price and free shipping. Highly Recommended
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2025Glad I picked these up. Super easy installation, quick little bolt-on job and supplied hardware is good. No complaints here!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020OEM part so fits the car. Original package had no hardware screws so I had to contact the seller and they sent the hardware to me.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2021Less than one year in and one bent so we are unable to use, also could have caused serious accident while on Highway. We only use kayaks and cargo carrier, within recommended weight, so this should NOT have happened. Very disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017This product exceeded my expectations. For the last 20 years I have installed only Thule roof racks on all of my vehicle and my vehicles have always had a roof rack. When exploring the Thule options for my 2016 Ford Explorer Sport I was SHOCKED by what it was going to cost me to outfit my new rig: $569.00! and that is simply for the cross bars, no accessories. Knowing that all newer Thule accessories mount to most factory aero style bars, I decided to buy these instead, hoping for best. I was pleasantly surprised that they were made of what appears to be a quality aluminum with a nice semi gloss powder coat finish. They took 5 minutes to install. I now have my Thule surfboard and fork mount bike tray mounted to them with no problem, saving me on the order of $480.00. By themselves, they make NO noise! With my attachments added I now have the very slightest of wind noise, but I have to turn the radio all the way down and consciously listen for the noise. For all intents and purposes the wind noise is less than negligible. Very pleased.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2017Purchased for my 2017 Explorer Sport so that I can later mount a snowboard rack for this winter season. Arrived safe and sound with clearly marked front and rear bars, 8 torx screws, torx allen wrench, and installation instructions. Installation took maybe 10 minutes, but I sped things along using a power drill affixed with a T-25 torx bit, but if you have more patience than I do the supplied allen wrench will serve you fine. Will update this review once my snowboard rack arrives and is installed. Drove around at about 30-40 mph to make sure the crossbars wouldn't rattle around or introduce wind noise and couldn't notice a difference in cabin noise.
[Update] Decided on the widest Rhino Rack available, which is designed for 6 skis and probably at most 4 snowboards. It attached easily to these cross bars in about 10 minutes. Couldn't be happier with this setup.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2020Easy to install. Comes with everything you need. Instead of the supplied L-key, I used a T-30 bit on a hand driver as well as the Wheeler inch-pound torque wrench and a 6" extension. Instructions call for about 28 in-lbs. Fasteners have thread locker preapplied so no worries about things coming loose. It takes a small step ladder and a towel to set the hardware on during installation. The plastic plugs that come on the vehicle may need a fingernail or small flat-blade screwdriver under them in order to turn them loose, since they don't actually have threads. The bars are shaped like an airplane wing and install in the same direction. The rear one is longer than the front. Ford says the rear bar mounted in the forward position will cause less wind noise. This is where I mounted mine. I would only elect using the rear position if I needed to mount something big like a canoe. The strength of these bars instills an enduring feeling of satisfaction with each use.

Neil HunterReviewed in Canada on December 8, 20185.0 out of 5 stars Perfect.
Racks are factory Ford. Only issue is the Explorer rails have 2 rear mounting points and the rear cross bar only fits the rearmost point. Just need to check the length of whatever you’re mounting is long enough.
