Preferred Bicycle Rack for Ford Ecosport


AJM

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Looking for a bicycle rack which will best fit my Ford Ecosport that does not require a tow bar. I have heard that Thule's spare tyre bike carriers do not fit the Ford Ecosport.

 

Any recommendations?

Hi there

 

I have the same issue.  Did you get any recommendations from any other sources?

Roof rack or tow bar will be ur options and since you will need to have tow bar fitted aswell they will cost about the same. I personally love roof racks.

Sitting with the same issue.

 

The cross-bars for the EcoSport that you get from Ford is R8800. I got the quote yesterday. Total rip-off!

 

Then only you can you fit the Thule carriers on top.

 

You can import similar bars for around R2600 (incl. shipping)

Call William at Thule in Woodmead - ask him - he is the expert.... :)

I had the cross bares fitted to mine, cost me R2065.00 Ford Cape Town, and mounted a Thule outride, works great.

Thule does fit. I also have one at home for our Ecosport which hooks on the tyre. Cost around R1500, will upload a pic and name later.

Here's what I've got. Things rattled a bit today two bikes up on a corrugated dirt road. Might look to go the roof option. .
