Factory Side Rails


Recommended Posts

How much weight can these factory installed side rails really carry on them? Want to put a cargo box on it and not sure if they are strong enough.

Thanks!

 

You might want to consider getting the roof rack crossbars from Ford. I put a set on and it made a huge difference. The rails are rock solid with the crossbars installed.

I put thee factory side rails on my 2009 edge with the vista roof and carry a Thule box on top with around 60 pounds and have had no problems. I drove it on a road trip to Canada about 1700 miles and it worked Perfect. Hope this helps GL

 

Oh if you have the Vista roof the roof I dont think it will open if you use the factory crossbars.
