The Ford Transit Connect base aluminum ladder rack, SKU 5VA-T, is an aluminum roof-rack option for 2010–2013 vans, carrying ladders above the vehicle's cargo area. This early-body Transit Connect base model has no ladder lock-down mechanism.

Support channels and ladder positions

• Two 3¾-inch-wide flat aluminum support channels.
• Four brackets for roof mounting.
• Base configuration without a ladder lock-down mechanism.
• Side tubes and curb-side ladder/cargo positioners.

The base rack uses support channels, side tubes and a curb-side positioner. It is a different configuration from the single and double lock-down options, so compare the supplied equipment before selecting a model.

Mounting and choosing the right configuration

The brackets mount to the vehicle roof. Drilling is required for this installation. The rack has a powder-coated finish. Made in the USA.

Before ordering, match the vehicle year, roof construction and mounting space with this specific rack. Check the dimensions of the ladders you plan to carry and how they will be secured. Positioners and side tubes do not replace the required load restraint. A numeric capacity is not published in this listing; confirm the applicable rack and vehicle limits before use.
