We can absolutely get your 2021 Ford Transit Connect set up with a Thule roof rack and roof basket. Let's start with the roof rack, with the correct fit depending on if your Transit Connect has a bare roof (with no rails) or if it has flush-mounted rails going down the sides:
Bare Roof
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400 or Black # TH711420
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point # TH460R
- Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet # THKIT3032
Flush-Mounted Rails
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400 or Black # TH711420
- Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # TH710601
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH186032
Then in order to add locks to the roof rack if you'd like to lock the rack to your roof you would need the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
Then for the cargo basket, since this rack has such a wide spread, the option you'd need is from Yakima, and is the OffGrid:
- Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07139-09
The OffGrid is a large, 75" long x 49" wide cargo basket so you can carry a vast amount of gear with you wherever you need to go. It even has a wind fairing to help reduce any wind noise as you travel, and is easy to attach to your Thule crossbars via rubber-coated, stainless steel straps.
