The Rack on my Ford Escape is front and back instead of on the sides. Would this carrier be able to be tied down to it?

I'm sorry I can't answer that.. NSYNC I returned it before I even opened it because it was not aerodynamic.

Yeah it will work. I used it on a ford flex, which only has rails on the sides and not the front and back. Should work fine, just don't fly around corners

yes mine was the same way. took 900 mile trip had no problems. did secure with extra ratcheting tie downs just to be safe.

On my jeep liberty we only have the side rails, so we had to do some rigging to keep it on tightly. It did stay in place though but it leaked like crazy and it was a challenge to put up on the roof.

We have an '08 KIA Optima with no roof rack and it worked like a charm. The carrier is designed for use with or without a rack.

Attn Solo,I think the rack will miss the spare tyre however I think you will not get a bike in the carrier closiet to the back of the car.

I suppose you can get an adapter to do so-------that would cause the rack to be extended out further and not sure that is a good idea. I also think that it might wobble around a bit unless you could get a bolt through connection.

Hey A.S.! There definitely is the possibility of mounting 2 side by side. The Hullaport requires approximately 17" from the back of the carrier to the front. If your crossbars can fit this lenght, x2, we should be okay!

i put it on a 2014 Odyessy with a rack, but it was too short to set on both front and back cross racks so it would have worked just as well with just the side rails. What do you have to fasten it to?

Sorry have to ask a question . Is there a gap between the spoiler and trunk? If there is the rack should work.

The cargo carrier clamps onto the 2 rectangular bars that go across the roof which are ajustable. The bars are part of a seperate roof rack. I am not familiar with your vehicle.

You probably could put a carrier in there but i Wouldn't try it ....the seat belts aren't supported by anything just sewn in.

I put my on a ford excursion and it looks great. Measure first. This is a big rack and the first one I got was too small. Also make sure that back hatch opens if there is one.

Hello. I use this rack on my KIA Sportage and am able to still open the trunk.

The carrier will work perfectly attaching to the cross bars. Several of the other answers indicate running the straps through the van or using the car clips. If your van has sliding doors the straps running through the doors (and the car clips) WILL NOT work as they will interfere with the van door closing.

Hello Eleanor, I can't imagine how it wouldn't work for you Ford Edge. This rack has so many configurations, it's amazing. I primarily was looking for a rack where the straps wouldn't rest on my spoiler. I would venture to say that this rack would even work on a large SUV like a Lincoln Navigator. It's also a very sturdy rack that is made extremely well made. I don't think you would be disappointed.

Suppose you can but I would use ratchet straps to secure it to the rack.Two across and one front to back.

I don't think it would work well. And the entire system is secured to the vehicle with straps that go through the car. With soft top there would seem to be weak points that could comprise the integrity of the rack and car top.

Might be a little tight in back seat . Trunk would work good with tie downs I just had a new Satilite install.plenty of room on the shelf.

I had to tie the rack to both sides. This issue was significant in my returning the item.
