Introducing our DRIFTR series roof racks for the Ford Transit. Our new rack is modular, lightweight, compatible with our ladder, has a low profile, installs quickly, allows easy customization, and ships directly to your door. For the 2015+ Transit, we have a mid-roof version with a ladder and a high-roof version with a ladder available. Please make your selection based on your van's height.

Our DRIFTR rack is super user-friendly and gives you great flexibility for mounting solar, cargo boxes, or any other type of gear you want by using our triple T slotted aluminum extrusions. Just like most of our products, the DRIFTR racks are all made out of aluminum and come powder-coated in our black semi-textured finish.

Storage for All Your Gear

Your Ford Transit is home when you’re on the road and that means you’re bringing along a lot of gear. The longer the adventure, the more plentiful and complex your gear requirements become. One thing’s for certain – even though your Transit is large and roomy, you still need more storage. If you’re on the lookout for effective storage that keeps all your stuff clean, dry, secure, and accessible but doesn’t add bulk or unnecessary weight that hampers your fuel economy and overall vehicle performance, then the Ford Transit DRIFTR roof rack is for you.

The Backwoods Adventure Mods DRIFTR Roof Rack offers you a secure, lightweight place to mount solar panels, cargo boxes, or any other gear you need or want to bring along. The rack plus our easy-to-use triple T-slotted extrusions make customizing your rack a snap so you can get exactly the storage you need.

The Best Roof Rack You Can Buy

  • Triple-slotted extrusion bars
  • Complete installation instructions
  • Mounting hardware

Key features of the DRIFTR Roof Rack system include the following:

30-Day Easy Returns

We get it. You've got a lot of choices when it comes to online retailers, so why should you even bother spending your hard-earned bucks shopping with us? 

Here are four short reasons why Open Road Overland is not like the rest of the bunch and why we believe that your shopping experience with us is not only 100% safe, but will also exceed your expectations, so you come back for more and maybe even bring your friends.

REASON #1: 100% SAFE & SECURE ONLINE SHOPPING

We use encrypted SSL security and are Level 1 PCI DSS compliant to ensure that your credit card information and every transaction on our website are 100% protected. 

REASON #2: DRIVING THE WORLD SINCE 1998

We started overlanding in 1998, way before overlanding was even a term. Since then we have spent the last 25 years zig-zagging the planet trail testing the types of equipment you find in our store. In other words, we learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t, through hands-on experience during our own adventures on 6 continents (yes, we still haven’t made it to Antarctica). To ensure that we add value to your adventure with the products you shop with us, our policy is that nothing goes on our website before it has been thoroughly reviewed. This means that you will not find anything in our store that we would not bring along our use on our own overland adventures.

REASON #3: WE HAVE DRIVEN ALMOST EVERYTHING

Secondly, we have been driving almost any type of vehicle you can think of over the years. This means that we have acquired a strong skill set to answer any question you have concerning your own vehicle setup, no matter whether you drive a standard passenger car, a pickup truck, or a fully rigged 4x4 overlanding vehicle. 

REASON #4: WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GO OVERLANDING

Thirdly, we strongly believe and promote that overlanding should be accessible to everybody, no matter what you drive, or what level of experience you have. That means that we can guide you as a novice overlander just starting out, as well as giving advice to you as an ultra pro with years of bushwhacking behind the wheel. That’s why you will also see both entry-level products, as well as top-of-the-line gear on our site, so we can cater to everybody looking to elevate their own overland adventures. No matter what, you can rest assured that the products you find in our store are here because they do the job they were made to do. 

WHAT ELSE DO I GET?

Apart from the above we of course also provide you with:  

  • Free Shipping to the lower 48 states, with no extra charges. Ever!
  • Price Match Guarantee. Best prices online, guaranteed.
  • 30-Day Easy Returns. Not happy with your product, we'll take it back no questions asked, and without charging you ANY restocking fee. Ever!
  • Great Service. We pride ourselves on the best service, anywhere.
  • Your Satisfaction Guaranteed. We handpick our products for quality to make sure you will love using them on your own adventures. But if there is ever something wrong, we'll fix it.
