Ford Expands Vehicle Travel Options with Thule Roof Accessories

The frustration of limited cargo space during weekend getaways—when bicycles, kayaks, or ski equipment simply won't fit—may soon become a thing of the past. Ford has collaborated with Thule, the industry leader in automotive transport solutions, to offer a range of factory-certified roof-mounted accessories that significantly expand vehicles' carrying capacity.

Thule's roof-mounted accessories undergo rigorous testing to ensure seamless integration with Ford vehicles while meeting the highest safety standards. The partnership delivers reliable, durable solutions for transporting recreational equipment without compromising driving performance.

The product lineup addresses diverse transportation needs:

• Roof boxes: Additional secure storage in various sizes for extended trips or family vacations
• Bike carriers: Multiple mounting options including roof-mounted, rear-mounted, and trailer-style configurations
• Ski/snowboard racks: Specialized holders for winter sports equipment
• Water sports carriers: Secure transportation solutions for kayaks and surfboards
• Utility baskets: Versatile platforms for irregularly shaped items like camping gear or landscaping equipment

Complementing the Thule accessories, Ford offers complete roof transport packages including:

• Mounting bases: Secure connection points ensuring stable attachment to vehicle roofs

The integrated accessory portfolio extends to ClimAir® window deflectors, designed to maintain cabin ventilation while reducing wind noise and preventing rain intrusion. The low-profile design blends seamlessly with vehicle contours while providing practical benefits:

• Continuous airflow even during precipitation
• Reduced wind turbulence at highway speeds
• Weather protection when windows are partially open
• Aerodynamic styling that complements vehicle aesthetics

Ford's factory-certified accessories undergo comprehensive evaluation to ensure compatibility, durability, and safety. The expanded cargo solutions aim to transform vehicles into versatile platforms for recreational activities while maintaining driving comfort and performance characteristics.
