We bring paddleboards to the lake in 2 stacks on top of our 12 passenger van. We recently got a 2013 Expedition. It has the factory roof rack and cross bars, but the cross bars aren't wide enough for side-by-side stacks of paddleboards. I can use the Yakima Round cross bars from the van, but I'm not sure which Yakima towers fit on the Expedition Roof rack rails. Has anyone done this? Which towers did you use?

Thanks!

The Timberline Towers fit the factory rails but they might not adapt to a round bar. I have the 70” corebar aerodynamic cross bars on mine. I ended up inserting pieces of wood in the rails to prevent them from being crushed by the towers when tightening them down. They ended up strong, sturdy, and quiet.DBABB2CF-E223-4E3D-BE91-22746795DBA0.jpeg 9D3DDA1C-76EA-41F4-B117-8A903B8EB494.jpeg D2AA1664-5561-4709-8F61-4629C137C63E.jpeg 6CEEBBF4-29F1-4E9F-886F-B61A89BA5D4D.jpeg BD302EE6-326F-4E65-96A4-A609884581C1.jpeg

We double stacked ours on top of each other on my wife’s focus. Couldn’t you do that?

What about the Yakima site, there is a function midway down the home page titled 'Add your vehicle', once selected, wouldn't that limit the product selection to only those items intended to your EXP?
