    ordered myself a set of lowrider mounts, sks cores and 48" crossbars... apparently the lowriders are made for ford suvs factory racks? the instructions that came with it have the ford logo on them and talk about escapes and explorers during the install process.. will be puttin them on today or tomorrow so we'll see, ill post pics as well

    There are two types of Lowrider mounts: Lowrider and Lowrider Max. As near as I could tell, there is very little difference between them, but I do believe that the Lowrider Max was designed for specific applications such as Ford.

    The standard Lowrider is (reportedly) more general and is what I used. If you do have any problems, this could be the cause.

    Best,

    Thumbs up

    You should be OK then ... the part no. for Lowrider Max is 0136. Don't know why the instructions for the Lowrider (0118) would have a Ford logo though
