High pressure molded aluminum extrusions form robust, one piece side profiles with double thick corners and reinforced side rails to support awnings and other heavy rooftop equipment without compromising stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of bent aluminum sections with multiple weak points, the rack uses continuous aluminum profiles that maintain structural integrity along the full length of the van. Crossbars slide and reposition to work around solar panels, roof fans, A\/C units, cargo boxes, and other accessories, allowing full use of the roof space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front fairing, together with a deliberate gap between the fairing and the van body, smooths airflow to reduce turbulence and wind noise while driving and to improve cooling beneath solar panels when parked. Laser cut openings in the sidewalls further reduce weight and promote airflow around roof mounted components without compromising strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll required mounting hardware is supplied, and installation can be completed using standard tools.

How does this roof rack affect fuel economy and wind noise at highway speeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"983\"\u003eFuel consumption will increase slightly at highway speeds due to added wind resistance. Since the majority of airflow occurs at the front of the vehicle, the rack includes a front fairing designed to divert air above and below the rack structure. This prevents air from becoming trapped between the crossbars, eliminating the turbulence that typically causes whistling or shaking at highway speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular inspections and hardware checks are critical to keeping your rack safe and reliable over the long term. Always stay within the maximum roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer and use all available attachment points on the van roof to distribute weight properly. After installation, recheck and retighten all hardware at approximately 100 miles, and then every 600 miles thereafter. At the same time, inspect the overall integrity of the rack every 600 miles or at least once a month, whichever comes first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tec Vanlife USA","offers":[{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" High Roof","offer_id":50527795740993,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" Mid Roof","offer_id":50527795708225,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148M","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" EXT High Roof","offer_id":50527795773761,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148X","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 130\" High Roof","offer_id":50527795675457,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-130","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/6135\/0465\/files\/Screenshot2024-04-04at3.20.40PM.png?v=1749772515","url":"https:\/\/sandiegooverlanding.com\/products\/ford-transit-roof-rack","provider":"San Diego Overlanding","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
