Lost in a sea of cross bars and roof racks.

Those have a t track or just flat? I like those because they actually look flat and not bowed upwards.

Those look like Thule WingBar Evo, which are T-track with rubber-sipes in the trough to minimize wind-noise.

Ok, I'm liking these the most. Going to do more digging on these.

The other big-name player is Yakima, with the "TimberLine Towers" and "JetStream" bars. Online fitment guide for Yakima: https://FitLookup.Yakima.com/

Worth exploring offerings from both Thule and Yakima, to figure out which system you want to buy-into, if you're going that route.

So, using parts.ford.com local dealers have different prices. Bastards. I'm in michigan, looks like 1 dealer has the thule for $312. That's not a bad price.

Can you use your Ford points to bring the cost down?

Think I only have 5k left. Think that's like $5, haha. I'm going to call my local dealers and ask for their price. See if that route works. If not I'll bite the bullet on the $300.

I’m really getting ready to pull the trigger on these…
OMAC Roof Rack Crossbars Compatible with Ford Bronco Sport 2021 | Aluminum Lockable Black Roof Top Cargo Racks | Auto Exterior Accessories Luggage Ski Kayak Bike Snowboard Carriers Set 2 Pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TMYQ3ZD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_7DAX0ZB5YGFQ3GVYVHJ6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Would you suggest this kind of equipment for kayaks?

You could easily strap some kayaks to this set up or add kayak specific carriers to these cross bars.

I ordered this set and really like them. Easy to install. I used thread locker on the screws so they should never vibrate loose. They use the torx head screw with the pin in the center. If that makes a difference.

A little cheaper that the ones with the key lock

I ended up buying the OEM ones (made by Yakima?) They do sit up rather high, but I have the power moonroof and it’s always open! I needed to make sure there was clearance for the up and back of said moonroof. I love the way they look and hope to really use them for a paddle board or my fox soft cargo bag in the future. Best of luck in finding the perfect set to meet your needs! There are so many choices and price points! I was able to use my Ford Rewards points.

Ok, on everyone's advice I went with the Thule crossbars and picked them up at the dealer. Easy to put on and even comes with the locks. Off to home depot for some ratchet straps. Thanks for the advice.

I’ve been looking at getting those as well. How is the noise while driving? Also, did you have to order them through dealer or did they have them in stock already?

Pulled the trigger on the OMAC crossbars off Amazon. Easy install and I haven’t noticed any additional wind noise.

One dealer near me had them. I placed an order for pick up through parts.ford.com

I haven't noticed any noise so far actually. Only been on the highway twice (70mph) since I put them on. Didn't notice anything. Otherwise at 55 it's been silent. Already used them for a load of wood and transporting ladders around. Very happy. Side note, the dealer kit included the locks.
