Can I use the rack vertically (no need to open tail gate) and adjust vertical height from top of tail gate to roof height in 6" or 12" increments?

you can use w tailgate closed but highest height I would say would be even w tailgate closed not roof height

No, buy a shorter one if you need less height. These are sealed units and have no method of height adjustment

I measured from the most aft setting of the positioning clamps in the rear and you will need to have about 28 inches from your rear roof rail to the opened position of you tailgate in the open position. It should be doable since your vehicle is one of the most popular minivans out there. The other consideration is the length od this box...it is long so by shifting it forward on your roof to allow for clearance of the tailgate you may have a fair amount of overhang in the front. Just think really big sun visor.

I installed this on a 1999 Silverado. Width is fixed, not adjustable could be the reason. Experience tried to get in parking garage to tall had disassemble while stuck in entrance. Backed into my own garage snapped it off. If money is not an option get adjustable height ones, and leave down when not in use.

Gregory, not sure what you mean by extension. The vertical part is at the end of the trailer hitch. As long as the tailgate swings sideways (like door) or up, you should be OK? I don't have an escalade, so hope this helps? Please rephrase if this is not the answer you wanted.

No, the site is a little confusing. If you order the "V-Type" as I did, would only get the rack. The vertical mounts are sold separately.

Yes just adjust the top rack to length you need, drill new holes and your all set

Depending on your set up you can manipulate the height of the standoffish by lowering installing it lower. You can raise it as few as a few inches above the ground. Still that sounds tight

I suppose you could, if you could cobble together an appropriate extension. The vertical supports just slide into the base, so you would just need an extension that was sized both fit in the base, and the vertical support.

The body style has changed since the 06 model so I'm thinking no. This rack clamps to the little raised rails on the roof and I think they have changed but I'm not sure.

I have an angled seat post and it sets level on my bike. If your post is vertical the rack would be at a slightly upwards angle.

If you're asking if the width can be adjusted, no. There is about 4 inches of "rack" on each end, so we're able to use that space quite well. The height, however, can change, up and down. Hope that helps!

On my Jeep Wrangler it was not intuitive and I had to in stall it twice. Install it so the rack will ride vertically, even though th e plate position looks wrong when you do it.

Hello different design. 2002-2006 is a different rack and requires drilling holes in the roof thanks

Yes, it is possible, but ungainly and difficult. The tilt mechanism seems to have been designed as an adjustment to be made when the rack unloaded for opening a tailgate.

Yes. Be sure to get a hammock kit with chain in order to adjust height from the ground

You can use the roof rack but not by itself if you have a 2 inch hitch on your truck I would recommend you also use a "L" type carrier which is adjustable. I have a 12 foot canoe and between the two it works great because I can adjust the "L" to a height that also allows me to carry my flat boat in the bed of the truck. I like the "L" and cab roof rack because I only need to put them on the truck when I need them. Hope this helps. Jep
