The Transit Safari Rack reflects that philosophy from every angle: the integrated wire chase keeps your build looking professional, the removable panels mean you're not forced to cut around your fans and A\/C, and the L-track system gives you the flexibility to reconfigure your roof cargo setup on the fly. Customers consistently rave about the precision fit and the satisfying rigidity once the rack is fully installed. If you're building a rig that needs to perform as hard as you push it - through snow, dust, rain, and everything in between - this is the roof rack that belongs on your Transit.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2025 Ford Transit 150\/250\/350 - 148\" and 148\" EXT - Mid Roof;
